Pacific Island Groundwater Vulnerability to Future Climates Dataset

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
Data package containing an ESRI shapefile and associated comma-separated value table (.csv) of the Pacific islands, including the countries of Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Republic of Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu. The ESRI shapefile contains polygons of the islands and has been adapted from the World Vector Shoreline dataset, with original scale suitability of 1:250,000 (reference: Soluri, E.A. and Woodson, V.A. 1990. World Vector Shoreline. International Hydrographic Review LXVII(1)). See lineage for more information. The .csv file contains tabular data associated with the island polygons. The file has been adapted to suit the purposes of the companion report by Dixon-Jain et al. (2014). The island polygon shapefile and .csv file can be joined using the common UniqueID field. The attribute fields within the .csv file include island hydrogeological and physical characteristics. Relative ratings for component of the potential vulnerability framework are included for the two projection periods (2035-2064 and 2070-2099), for each climate hazard (low rainfall periods and mean sea-level rise). See the field list within lineage in the Data Dictionary for more information on the source of each attribute. The full bibliographic reference for the companion report (catalogue number 79066) is: Dixon-Jain, P., Norman, R., Stewart, G., Fontaine, K., Walker, K., Sundaram, B., Flannery, E., Riddell, A., Wallace, L. 2014.
