Description:
Abstract:
This dataset shows the locations of prominent peaks on Pohnpei. It was developed by Island Research & Education Initiative (iREi) (2017) by merging and slightly modifying data from U.S. Geological Survey's Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and KML files created by Alex Zuccarelli for Pohnpei Eco-Adventure Map Guide Series(2013). The place names shown on this map are copied from the two sources above and are not authoritative. They require thorough verification and correction of spellings to conform with Pohnpeian orthography.
Purpose: To show the locations of peaks on Pohnpei.
Supplemental_Information:
The dataset is included the Digital Atlas of Micronesia, module Pohnpei, by Island Research & Education Initiative (iREi), in collaboration with Water and Environmental Research Institute of the Western Pacific (WERI) University of Guam and partial funding from United States Geological Survey (USGS), under WRRI 104-B Program, project # 2016GU302B.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The absolute vertical accuracy is not known by depends largely on the accuracy of the digital elevation model used to calculate the elevation. Errors might also have been introduced when the data was shifted.

Source_Contribution:
The data was downloaded from the GNIS website and formatted for GIS and shifted about 442 meters NW to match 2016 WorldView-3 imagery.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
1. Compare two sources (KML and GNIS); 2. Import all data derived from the KML dataset and add summits from GNIS dataset not already in KML file. 3. Calculate elevation from digital elevation model (Note that the elevation information from the GNIS dataset was not included because errors were found -> inconsistent units -> some values seemed to be in meters while other in feet).
