EVS-Islands: Thoughts - Solomon Islands, A Geologic Timebomb!

The above map shows some of my completed island mapping projects. Each icon contains the name of the primary island associated with the project and a link to the post. Once all of my projects are posted, the map will be covered with icons. To productively use the map, zoom into a region of interest. Then select an icon.

Each of my maps is constructed of numerous layers of information. All of the layers are vector files. I will make these files available upon request. You are free to use them with certain restrictions - 1) Don't sell them. You can use them on research projects, post them to your website or things of that nature. If you aren't sure about the use of my maps, drop me a line and we can discuss your idea. 2) Give me credit when you use my vectors or images of my maps. Credit them to Peter Minton @ EVS-Islands

If I have the island vector file(s) and based upon your need, I will make them available. Images of my maps are yours to download and use, with the above restrictions applicable. Enjoy!

Thoughts - Solomon Islands, A Geologic Timebomb!

Solomon Islands 8.0 Earthquake

An 8.0 earthquake is bad enough, but to live on the edge of a diving tectonic plate that is continually moving is rough. I know. San Diego is not diving, but it is sliding north. The area that underwent the 8.0 earthquake with the resulting tsunami is a geologic timebomb. And it went off!

The image shows the 8.0 epicenter plotted on the left panel. The right panel shows 5.0 earthquakes and above. This is a very active earthquake area. An 8.0 earthquake will happen again in the region.

Software I Recommend

Purchase Global Mapper v9

Trial Download Global Mapper v9

A moderately priced, easy-to-use GIS package, which I use to load, view and work with Landsat ETM+ imagery from which I digitize layers of information for my island maps.
