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 high-resolution bathymetric mapping survey of the seabed surrounding the island of Efate in Vanuatu.This bathymetric map is a blend of multibeam (MBES), and singlebeam (SBES) echosounder data. All slope angles exceeding 60 degrees (degrees from horizontal) were interpreted as scarps. Any Inclined area of the seafloor that was laterally confined by distinctive slopes, with or without an upslope headscarp, was interpreted as a channel.

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.

These are 2 photoset collections of historical black and white aerial photographs that was taken of Pohnpei Island in the Federated States of Micronesia, acquired in 1975. Coverage of the first photoset is limited to areas that fall around the inland and coastal areas of Kolonia along the Northern part of Pohnpei Island. The second photoset covers the land area, coastal area, reef area and towards the deep sea area of on the South Eastern part of Pohnpei Island (Temwen Island, Nan Mandol Ruins and Nahkapw.

A collection of the 1984 Historical Aerial Photographs of Kiribati, Marakei Island. All 26 Photographs have not been rectified but uploaded individually and referenced according to their frame numbers. This collection does not represent a complete coverage of the island. The images were mosaicked using the Hypercube software for preview purpose only.

These photo-sets (2) are a collection of historical coloured aerial photographs that was taken in Sigatoka, Malolo Lailai (Musket Cove Resort), and two reefs towards the south of Malolo Lailai Island,Fiji Islands in 1991. Coverage is limited to areas that fall around the coastal, reef and outer reef area . The original paper prints have been scanned at a resolution of 1200 DPI on a Magnum G600 Wide format scanner, resized and stored as TIFF format. All 14 photographs have not been rectified but mosaicked for viewing purposes and uploaded according to their frame numbers.
