Maps showing geomorphic features. The maps were developed by MACBIO as resources for the bioregions workshops in Feb 2018.
Solomon Islands Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, Disaster Management and Meteorology
To provide an enabling environment for the socio-economic development of the Solomon Islands through the application of necessary safeguards with regard to:sustainable use of natural resources, the provision of meteorological services, reducing the risk and impact of climate change and other hazards to communities, leading and managing disaster preparedness and their consequences. The MECDM has 4 Divisions and 1 Office which include: Climate Change Division (CCD), Corporate Services Division, Environment & Conservation Division (ECD), Meteorological Services Division, National Disaster Management Office (NDMO)
This maps shows the geomorphic features of the seafloor in Solomon Islands EEZ. Conservation International, GRID-Arendal and Geoscience Australia recently collaborated to produce a map of the global distribution of seafloor geomorphic features. The map represents and important contribution towards the understanding of the distribution of blue habitats.
Solomon Islands Seafloor Geomorphic Features
A map showing hydrothermal vents in Solomon Islands EEZ. The map was created by MACBIO as resource for the workshop on bioregions in Feb 2018. Data is based on InterRidge Vents Database.
Map showing a classification of seamounts in Solomon Islands EEZ. Classification is based on Blue Habitats global classification scheme. The map was designed by MACBIO as resource for the workshop on bioregions in Feb 2018. Data is based on Yesson et al. (2011) "The global distribution of seamounts based on 30-second bathymetry data and Harris et al. (2014) "Geomorphology of the oceans".
