Dataset Sediment Analysis between Batu Ferringhi Coastline and Persiaran Bayan Indah Reclamation Site, Penang, Malaysia

This dataset provided data analysis in research aimed to differentiate the characteristics between natural and anthropogenic coastal landforms in Penang. Two methods were used here are GPR-Ground Penetrating Radar and sediment sampling analysis. However, the dataset provided in this paper is only for sediment analysis. All GPR radar facies are presented in the research paper.<br> <br> Two sites were selected for this study - the Batu Ferringhi area, representing the natural coastal landform (labelled as BF) and the Persiaran Bayan Indah (parking lot of the Queensbay Mall), later labelled as QB representing the anthropogenic coastal landform. Five sediment samples were collected from each site. Sample BF1, BF2, BF3, BF4 and BF5; and sample QB1, QB2; QB3; QB4; and QB5. These data then calculated for mode, mean, skewness, sorting and kurtosis. All graphic are available in the research paper.本数据集对应的研究旨在区分槟城（Penang）自然海岸地貌与人为海岸地貌的特征。本研究采用探地雷达（Ground Penetrating Radar，GPR）与沉积物采样分析两种方法。不过本文公开的数据集仅包含沉积物分析相关数据，所有探地雷达相（radar facies）相关内容均已刊载于该研究论文中。 本研究共选取两处采样点：以巴都丁宜（Batu Ferringhi）区域作为自然海岸地貌的代表，标记为BF；以及峇六拜大道（Persiaran Bayan Indah）皇后湾购物中心（Queensbay Mall）停车场区域，标记为QB，作为人为海岸地貌的代表。两处采样点各采集5份沉积物样本，分别为BF1、BF2、BF3、BF4、BF5与QB1、QB2、QB3、QB4、QB5。随后对所得数据计算众数、均值、偏度、分选性与峰度等参数。所有相关图表均已刊载于该研究论文中。
