This record shows the Seabed/Sub -bottom profile carried out during the Betio Mole Extension survey in Kiribati that was part of the Tarawa Nearshore Project in 1981. There are another 9 sheets accompanying this one that belong to the same project.
This record shows a Base map of East of Betio in South Tarawa, Kiribati. Due to frequent coastal erosion on South Tarawa, the map was produced to show the coastal changes that have taken place. Present Shorelines (1992) are compared to shorelines from 1943 and 1969. This Base map showcase East of Betio, Sheet 2 of 2. The map was drawn based on surveys and aerial images taken in 1969, 1943 and 1992. Shoreline data are from 1945 and 1953 surveys from Howorth (1982).
This record shows the Seismic Interpretation obtained at the Betio-Bairiki causeway site in 1981. The data was obtained as part of the Tarawa Nearshore project. The chart shows 2 profiles. There are another 9 sheets accompanying this one that belong to the same project. The map was drawn up as part of the Tarawa Nearshore Project for the Bairiki-Betio, Tarawa causeway dredging borrow site. Sea bed surveys were undertaken in south Tarawa by UNDP staff and consultants assisted by personnel supplied by the government of Kiribati during November and December 1981.

This record shows the Navigation Plan of the Betio Mole extension survey undertaken as part of the Tarawa Nearshore Project in 1981. The Project was undertaken to survey the possible areas for the Betio-Bairiki causeway site. The Navigation Plan used the method of Sidescan Sonar.

This record shows an Air Photo Interpretation of the geology and morphology of Abarao, Ambo, Taborio, Tangintebu, Eita, Bangantebure and Bikenibeu, in Kiribati. The map was produced as part of the CCOP/SOPAC Coastal Mapping Workshop that was held in Kiribati in 1988. 1968/69 and 1984 photo sets of Air photograph interpretation of South Tarawa, and the Southern part of North Tarawa was used. However, plotting of recent (July 1988) re-surveys of beach profiles on Betio and Bairiki and comparison with earlier surveys were made.

The SOPAC Petroleum Databank covers the seabed areas of Fiji, Tonga, Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands. A lot of this data was gathered in the 1980s under the SOPAC Tripartite Project, involving USA, Australia and New Zealand.
This preliminary report outlines the data collected in 2007 in the equatorial Pacific Ocean during cruises to service the TAO/TRITON array, a network of deep ocean moored buoys deployed to support ENSO research and forecasting. The TAO/TRITON array, completed in 1994, consists of approximately 70 deep ocean moorings within 8 degrees of the equator spanning the Pacific Basin from 95 W to 137 E. Moorings west of 165 E are maintained by the Japan Agency for Marine Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC).
