Description:

Abstract:

This dataset shows the location of prominent caves on Pohnpei. It should be noted that Pohnpei has no karst terrain whatsoever, so caves found on the island are all in volcanic bedrock. The data layer was formatted for GIS by Island Research & Education Initiative (iREi) (2017), using exclusively KML files created by Alex Zuccarelli for Pohnpei Eco-Adventure Map Guide Series (2013).

Purpose: To show the locations of prominent caves 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.
