Coastal geological and geomorphological mapping was done around Savai'i Island, Samoa. Four map sheets representing the 4 directional quarters of Savai'i island was produced and is available for download with appropriate permission. Geological and geomorphological coastal map of South-East Savai'i is contained in this metadata entry. Aerial photographs taken in 1999 were mainly used for overall mapping. Satellite (Ikonos) images, 1:100,000-scale geology map and 1:50,000-scale topography maps were also used as supplementary data.
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.
