EVS-Islands

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 - The Quaking Carterets (Audio Version)

The Quaking Carterets

Okay, I know that all of you can read. I just wanted to try this little MP3 player out and see what a mini-podcast would be like. The audio portion took about 45 minutes to complete. I used Audacity, a freeware piece of recording and editing software. I created my 3-minute+ talk, with loads of corrections. I uploaded my saved MP3 file to my Google Page (allows for 100 MBs of free file storage). The little player consists of a few lines of code that you can copy and past to your post from Google Operating System site. I created this post with my Pictobrowser image viewer and my mini-podcast. Easy!

What do you think? Is it overkill or a different sort of touch? Give me some feedback. Thanks and...

Enjoy!

Even though I'm not a podcast-kind-of-guy, I have to admit that it was an interesting piece of information. I'm a geology student and my first thought on the "sinking" of the atoll was that indeed plate movement and, consequently, earthquakes should be causing it. I'm not sure of the english term for this process but I think it's subsidence, and the opposite process would be uplift I think. Anyway I'm sure you already know this. By the way, do the locals really fish with dinamite? How's that?
