A map showing the pressure and competing claims on the marine environment of Solomon Islands caused by different uses.
The map was developed by MACBIO to visualise the competition on marine resources.

A map showing simply the location of seamounts in Solomon Islands EEZ. The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the workshop on bioregions in Fab 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".

Map developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Nitrate is an essential resource, which, together with available light, determines the amount of organic matter that can be synthesized by phytoplankton through photosynthesis. Nitrate concentration is also a key variable of biogeochemical and ecosystem models. Data is based on CSIRO Atlas of Regional Seas (CARS).

Dissolved oxygen is a key parameter to trace physical dynamics and to better understand biogeochemical processes in the World Oceans. O2 concentration is always the balance between biological terms (production by phytoplankton, consumption through respiration by all organisms) and ocean atmosphere o2 exchanges (so-called ventilation processes).
The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data is based on Tyberghein L., et al (2011) Bio-ORACLE: a global environmental dataset for marine species distribution modelling.

Map developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data is based on CSIRO Atlas of Regional Seas (CARS).

All living organisms require the nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus for their growth, metabolism and reproduction. Research has demonstrated that phytoplankton productivity in the surface ocean is often limited by the amount of available fixed inorganic nitrogen and available phosphorus.
The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data is pased on CSIRO Atlas of Regional Seas (CARS).

Map of particulate Inorganic carbon in Solomon Islands Oceans. The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data on inorganic carbon is based on CSIRO: Lutz et al 2009.

Map of distribution of particulate organic carbon that represents the concentration of carbon in the ocean.
The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Carbon data is based on CSIRO: Lutz et al 2009.

Particulate organic carbon flux represents the rate at which carbon is cycled through the ocean and the factors that may alter the rates of transfer.
The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data is based on CSIOR: Lutz et al. 2009.

Map of silicate concentration of Solomon Islands Ocean. Silicate, or silicic acid (H4SiO4) is an important nutrient in the ocean. Silicate is an essential chemical requirement for very specific biota, inlcuding diatoms, radiolaria, silicoflagellates and siliceous sponges.
The map was developed my MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018.
Data is based on CSIRO Atlas of Regional Seas (CARS).

Map showing the sea surface temperature of Solomon Islands Ocean, the temperature close to the ocean's surface. Sea surface temperatures influence air masses in the Earth's atmosphere.
The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data is based on MODIS instrument on aboard NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites.

Map showing mixed layer depth of Solomon Islands Ocean. The mixed layer depth plays an important role in the physical climate. The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data of mixed layer is based on CSIRO Atlas of Regional Seas (CARS).

Map showing the annual productivity in gram Carbon per square meter (gC/m2/year). Productivity is a measure of the use of "available" carbon.
The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data on productivity is based on Oregon State Ocean Productivity Project.
