The ASTER Global Digital Elevation Model (GDEM) Version 3 (ASTGTM) provides a global digital elevation model (DEM) of land areas on Earth at a spatial resolution of 1 arc second (approximately 30 meter horizontal posting at the equator).
The development of the ASTER GDEM data products is a collaborative effort between National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI). The ASTER GDEM data products are created by the Sensor Information Laboratory Corporation (SILC) in Tokyo.
Dataset contains training material on using open source Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to improve protected area planning and management from a workshop that was conducted on August 17-21, 2020. Specifically, the dataset contains lectures on GIS fundamentals, QGIS 3.x, and global positioning system (GPS), as well as country-specific datasets and a workbook containing exercises for viewing data, editing/creating datasets, and creating map products in QGIS.
A collection of datasets for economic, demographic, and population metrics for the Marshall Islands derived from the World Bank DataBank interface. DataBank is an analysis and visualisation tool that contains collections of time series data on a variety of topics. Data are derived from a series of databases such as: World Development Indicators; Statistical Capacity Indicators, Education Statistics, Gender Statistics, Health Nutrition and Population Statistics, and others

SPREP is leading the charge to make the Pacific Games in July go plastic free in an awareness and outreach initiative aptly called Greening of the Games. This dataset holds a draft report and a raw baseline data collected from a clean-up at Mulinu'u executed on the 11th May 2019 by the the Team Samoa Va'a, to contextualize solutions and interventions to address marine litter and plastic pollution.
The Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency published this dataset with information on economic details for catch and catch vessels in the Asia and Pacific region, with country-level data for Solomon Islands.
