This report presents the latest update on the state ofenvironment in PNG. Although some information is scarce,the report provides a snapshot of our environment, giventhe diverse pressures and threats we are facing from bothnatural and anthropogenic causes. The SoE report uses a reporting model to describethe state of environment in PNG. It identifies drivingforces and pressures that result in the current state ofenvironment, and suggests a potential response strategy.Recommendations are presented for future legislative orother actions

This report focuses on addressing the critical challenges of sustainable water resources management on Tutuila, the main island in the Territory of American Samoa. It presents an updated conceptual hydrogeological model of the island's groundwater and surface water resources by integrating existing hydrological information with recently acquired subsurface datasets, shedding light on the complex nature of Tutuila's hydrogeology, which varies significantly across different locations on the island.

This report documents the UH monitoring network which provides hydrologic parameters, such as precipitation, stream flow, and aquifer response, in small island developing communities like Tutuila, American Samoa, where water resources are limited. It highlights the collaborative efforts between the University of Hawaii's Water Resources Research Center and the American Samoa Power Authority to establish a new monitoring network for weather, stream gauging, and aquifer data, providing essential information for sustainable water resource management and various applications

The Integrated Feasibility Report and Environmental Assessment (IFR/EA) is a study led by the Honolulu District of the Pacific Ocean Division of USACE, with the American Samoa Government as the non-Federal sponsor. It focuses on addressing flood risk in the Tafuna-Leone Plain of Tutuila Island, which is densely populated and vulnerable to frequent flooding due to heavy rainfall, shallow stream channels, and various development-related factors.

This Watershed Assessment (WA) was initiated in response to the damage caused by Tropical Cyclone Gita in February 2018, which led to infrastructure damage, power outages, and widespread flooding in American Samoa. The assessment recognizes the resilience of Pacific Islanders' cultures and traditional governance and aims to provide recommendations, both within and outside of USACE authorities, to enhance the resilience of American Samoa to future natural hazards.

This report presents findings from the analysis of radiocarbon dates and volcanic stratigraphy in the Leone Volcanics region of Tutuila Island, American Samoa, shedding light on the timing and spatial distribution of late-Holocene volcanic events. Key insights include identifying a distinct reddish ash stratum dating to approximately AD 650-750 as the most recent eruptive event, along with observations on the source and sequence of ash deposits, suggesting multiple eruptive events from both seaward and inland craters, potentially continuing as recently as AD 1300.
