English term or phrase: mCD, meter composite depth

The question is in the header...

Here is what I found:
The abbreviation "mcd" stands for "meters composite depth". When cores are recovered from the sea floor, a varying quantity of sediment is usually lost between the sections of core recovered. How much depends on the drilling conditions, but it is usually only a fraction of the volume of the sediment recovered, ranging from the equivalent of a few centimeters to a few meters of sediment*.

Thank you for your help, merci !
