This report describes a high-resolution bathymetric mapping survey of the seabed surrounding the island of Efate in Vanuatu, by the Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission
(SOPAC). The survey was carried out over a period of 25
days in August 2003, resulting in the acquisition of over 600 line kilometres of MBES data.
The resultant compilation was used to produce
bathymetry charts of Efate at scales of 1 : 100 000 and 1 : 50 000, with more detailed charts of
Mele Bay, Forari Bay and Havannah Bay at 1 : 20 000.
A collection of the 1969 Historical Aerial Photographs of Kiribati, Nikunau Island. All 39 Photographs have not been rectified but uploaded individually and referenced according to their frame numbers. Images have also been mosaicked using the Hypercube software for preview purpose only.
The Marshall Islands, officially the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), is a Micronesian island nation in the western Pacific Ocean, located north of Nauru and Kiribati, east of the Federated States of Micronesia and south of the U.S. territory of Wake Island, to which it lays claim. The datasets describe the Multi beam bathymetry survey and a high-resolution bathymetric mapping of the seabed in the Majuro lagoon and some parts of the seabed around the atoll.
In October, 1992, a SEAFRAME (Sea Level Fine Resolution Acoustic Measuring Equipment) gauge was installed in Lautoka, Viti Levu, Fiji Islands. Readings(height observations) recorded from the gauge, is held in this record and provided in the form of Yearly Reports, Tide Prediction Calendars and Hourly Sea Level and meteorological data (update frequency- real time) from the Lautoka station and also readings from a Non-SPSLCMP Station in Suva, Viti Levu . This is downloadable from the Distribution Info Section of this metadata record and dataset available in digital text format.
The Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC) carried out a marine survey for Tuvalu in the waters around all nine atolls and low reef islands, namely, Nanumea,
Niutao, Nanumanga, Nui, Vaitupu, Nukufetau, Funafuti, Nukulaelae, Niulakita. This work was initiated by the SOPAC/EU Reducing Vulnerability of Pacific ACP States Project.

This record holds the bathymetry chart of the Eastern foreshore areas around Savai, Samoa towards the North Western foreshore of Upolu Island, Apia. The chart is the result of the multibeam bathymetry survey that was undertaken by the Applied Geoscience and Technology Division (SOPAC) of SPC
This record shows the Bathymetry map of the Betio-Bairiki area in 1981 during the Tarawa Nearshore Project. The Project was undertaken to survey the possible areas for the Betio-Bairiki causeway site. There are another 9 accompanying sheets that are linked to this map belonging to the same project.
Tonga is an archipelago composed of 172
islands spread across a combined land and
sea area of 720,000km
2
. According to the 2011
census, Tonga had a population of 103,252 people
spread across 36 of the 172 islands. A population
scattered so widely across such a large area can
pose logistical problems for efforts to facilitate and
finance disaster response.
In January 2014, Tropical Cyclone Ian caused
widespread damage and destruction on the
islands of Ha’apai and Vava’u.

In January 1993, a SEAFRAME (Sea Level Fine Resolution Acoustic Measuring Equipment) gauge was installed in Nukualofa, Tonga. Readings(height observations) recorded from the gauge, is held in this record and provided in the form of Yearly Reports, Tide Prediction Calendars and Hourly Sea Level and meteorological data (update frequency- real time) from the Nukualofa station. This is downloadable from the Distribution Info Section of this metadata record.The gauge has been returning high resolution, good scientific quality data since its installation.
In December 2001, a SEAFRAME (Sea Level Fine Resolution Acoustic Measuring Equipment) gauge was installed in Dekehtik, Pohnpei, FSM. Readings(height observations) recorded from the gauge, is held in this record and provided in the form of Yearly Reports, Tide Prediction Calendars and Hourly Sea Level and meteorological data (update frequency- real time) from the Pohnpei station. This is downloadable from the Distribution Info Section of this metadata record and dataset available in digital text format.

This record holds the bathymetry chart of the Southern foreshore areas of Upolu, Samoa. The chart is the result of the multibeam bathymetry survey that was undertaken by the Applied Geoscience and Technology Division (SOPAC) of SPC around the islands of Savaii and Upolu for the EU-SOPAC Samoa Survey. High-resolution bathymetric mapping survey was carried out ,resulting in the acquisition of over 2754 line-km of MBES data for the whole of Samoa Survey.
As part of the AusAID-sponsored South Pacific Sea Level and Climate Monitoring Project (“Pacific Project”) for the FORUM region, in response to concerns raised by its member countries over the potential impacts of an enhanced Greenhouse Effect on climate and sea levels in the South Pacific region, SEAFRAME (Sea Level Fine Resolution Acoustic Measuring Equipment) gauges have been installed in twelve forum countries. They record sea level, air and water temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind speed and direction.

The 3 reports and 3 manuals contained here are the result of the training and symposium organised by the Korean Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources(KIGAM). This is part of the UNDP national project on, "Coastal Geological Mapping of Savaii Island, Samoa" Capacity building program.
Training session of two weeks were conducted in each year during the project. The symposium consists of oral presentation sessions and two days of field excursions.
This project was supported by the Ministry of Science Technology together with UNDP.
