[pacificdata.org](pacificdata.org) – the Pacific Data Hub – is the central repository of open data and knowledge products about the Pacific region. Anyone can access the public data on the Pacific Data Hub. You are encouraged to search, reuse and share the data on pacificdata.org.
The Pacific Data Hub holds a large and diverse collection of data, data insights, publications, and knowledge products on the Pacific across key sectors, including population statistics, fisheries, geoscience, agriculture, aquaculture, energy, education, human rights, climate change, and oceans, and it continues to grow.
While the intention is for the Pacific Data Hub to become a multi-stakeholder-owned and managed platform, it is currently a product of the Pacific Community (SPC), and as such is governed by SPC’s internal documents.
Let us know how you are using the data hub or if you wish to contribute to our data catalogue.

A Joint Basic Study by the South Pacific Applied Geosience Commission (SOPAC) and the Government of Japan undertaken for marine geological and other studies relating to mineral prospecting to assess the mineral resources potential of the deep sea bottom in the offshore regions of SOPAC member countries.
This metadata entry presents survey carried out in the sea area of about 74,000km2 (the western half of the Bismarck Sea) which belongs to Papua New Guinea, from August 13 through October 19, 1992. The survey was composed of topographic cruising for topographic mapping, geochemical explanotory sampling for bottom sediments and geological deposit survey for confirmation of deposits and ore sampling.
Bathymetry Datasets in XYZ formats can be downloaded from the appropriate link under Online Resources with appropriate permission from the Secretariat.
This bathymetry dataset was produced by the Joint Japan International Cooperatiopn Agency and SOPAC.To assess the potential of deep sea mineral resources, especially that of hydrothermal submarine ore deposits, in the marine areas of Papua New Guinea.SURVEY AREA OF STUDY: Point Number, Latitude, Longitude 1. 148°15' E 2°15'S, 2. 4°15S 148°15'E, 3. 4°15'S 145°15' E, 4. 2°15'S 145°15'E, 1. 2°15'S 148°15E
