This dataset contains mapped point locations for protected areas within the Pacific Islands Region. This dataset should be viewed in combination with the World Database on Protected Areas polygon locations to get a comprehensive view of all protected areas within the region.

Conservation International, GRID-Arendal and Geoscience Australia recently collaborated to produce a map of the global distribution of seafloor geomorphic features. The global seafloor geomorphic features map represents an important contribution towards the understanding of the distribution of blue habitats. Certain geomorphic feature are known to be good surrogates for biodiversity. For example, seamounts support a different suite of species to abyssal plains.

This dataset shows the global distribution of seamounts and knolls identified using global bathymetric data at 30 arc-sec resolution. A total of 33,452 seamounts and 138,412 knolls were identified, representing the largest global set of identified seamounts and knolls to date. Seamount habitat was found to constitute
approximately 4.7% of the ocean floor, whilst knolls covered 16.3%. The research leading to these results received funding from the European Community’s Seventh Framework Programme, and from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

The Global Volcanism Program database currently contains 1422 volcanoes with eruptions during the Holocene period (approximately the last 10,000 years). This resource contains the mapped locations of the Holocene volcanoes thoughout the world in shapefile format.

The Global Volcanism Program database currently contains 1242 volcanoes thought to have been active during the Pleistocene period (approximately the last 2.5 million years); volcanoes active in the past approximately 10,000 years are on the Holocene list and are not duplicated here. This resource contains the mapped locations of the Pleistocene volcanoes thoughout the world in shapefile format.

The Global Mangrove Watch (GMW) is a collaboration between Aberystwyth University (U.K.), solo Earth Observation (soloEO; Japan), Wetlands International the World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).

This dataset contains GIS data (raster and shapefiles) for the global threats to coral reefs: acidification, future thermal stress, integrated future threats, and past thermal stress.

This dataset contains GIS data (raster and shapefiles) for the local threats to coral reefs: coastal development, integrated local, marine pollution, overfishing, and watershed pollution.

The folder contains GIS data for Mango Island acquired from UNOSTAT. Shapefiles are derived from Kompsat3 Sensor, World View 2 Sensor and Pleiades Sensor with data available on Structures impacted (Points), Analysis Extent (Polygon) and Shoreline (Line).

The folder contains GIS data for Nomuka Island acquired from UNOSTAT. Shapefiles are derived from Pleiades Sensor and World View2 sensor with data available on Structures impacted for 17/01, 18/01 (Points), Analysis Extent for 17/01, 18/01 (Polygon), Flood extent, Lake extent (13/11/21 and 18/01/22), Cloud obstruction and SW Shoreline for 13/11/21, 18/01/22.

Buffer distances  of  100, 150 and 250km created  from the volcanic eruption boundary  to identify  the level of impacts from the eruption  to the resources within the three impact zones.
