Islands in the Pacific: Settings, Distribution and Classification,ty often understated. To capture and explain the diversity of islands in the Pacific, a classification is developing using elevation and lithology (rock type) as the highest level criteria. For each of the 1779 islands, defined as ocean-bounded landmasses ≥1 ha (0.01 km.) in area, data were collecte

Climate Change Scenarios and Projections for the Pacific,nge, sea-level rise and extreme events. Over the past decade, a number of studies have been undertaken to improve our understanding of climate variability and change in the Pacific. This chapter provides an overview of those studies and discusses possible challenges associated with climate model pro

Comparison of the Physical Susceptibility of Pacific Islands to Risks Potentially Associated with Vtimate the potential of an island to physical change in response to likely climatic changes. These are ., . and .. To develop the . four physical variables that are readily available or can be calculated from other datasets were used. These were lithology, shape of islands, maximum elevation and are

Downscaling from Whole-Island to an Island-Coast Assessment of Coastal Landform Susceptibility to Mability downscaling and establishing the suitability of coastal landform information to application at country or island scale. The approach acknowledges the transition of physical characteristics influencing coastal vulnerability with scale. At the whole-island scale, the geologic and morphologic s

Impacts of Climate Change on Coastal Infrastructure in the Pacific,tructure in 12 Pacific island countries with a view to determining the percentages in close proximity to the coast and so highly vulnerable to climate-related impacts. Data relating to the geographic location of all built infrastructure for 12 countries was obtained from various sources or coded dir
