This dataset contains mapped point locations for protected areas within Palau. 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 Palau.

This resource contains satellite imagery for Palau. The imagery was collected on April 24, 2020.

More specially, this resource contains a raster file of RGB imagery at 10-meter resolution, using Level-2A products when available. Level-2A products include atmospheric correction and represent bottom of atmosphere reflectance values in the images. When Level-2A products were not available, Level-1C (top of atmosphere) products were used.

This resource contains a zip file with a 10-meter resolution land surface digital elevation model (DEM) and hillshade for the islands of Palau from United States Geological Survey (USGS) 1/3 arc-second DEM quadrangles. Data were published on May, 2005.

Animated Key Messages from the State of Environment and Conservation in the Pacific : 2020 Regional Report

The zip-file contains 2 shapefiles (points and polygons), displaying the protected areas in Palau.

zip file "Pacific_shape_draft15112018", containing all the shape files from the first workshop

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.

Shapefile containing the global distribution of hydrothermal vent fields in WGS84 coordinate system.

Zipped file containing GeoJSON files for earthquake centers over a magnitude of 4.5 for the Pacific Islands Region for years 2000-2019. Data are derived from the ANSS Comprehensive Earthquake Catalog (ComCat). ComCat contains earthquake source parameters (e.g. hypocenters, magnitudes, phase picks and amplitudes) and other products (e.g. moment tensor solutions, macroseismic information, tectonic summaries, maps) produced by contributing seismic networks.

Zip file containing NetCDF files for both zonal and meridional current velocities (meters/second) for 5 day temporal resolution for the years 2000-2019 in the WGS84 coordinate system (EPSG:4326).
