STAR was formed to assist the international geoscience community to provide advice to SOPAC, particularly during the intervals between SOPAC International Workshops.The first Chairman of STAR, Dr Charles Helsley, then Director of the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics, guided STAR until 1992. He was succeeded by Keith Crook from the Hawaii Undersea Research Laboratory. Keith served until the end of 1999 when John Collen from the School of Earth Sciences at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand became Chair. STAR meetings are not simply technical conferences at which individuals present scientific papers and discuss their results and implications. Participants have the additional responsibility to formulate advice to SOPAC about its work program and to highlight technical and scientific issues of particular importance or urgency to the region. This advice, in the form of reports and recommendations from STAR Working Groups and reports on highlights of STAR technical presentations, is tendered to Council by way of an address in Plenary by the Chair of STAR and also during the Governing Council/Technical Advisory Group (GC/TAG) segment of the Annual Session. All STAR participants are invited and urged to participate in this phase of the meeting. One of the great strengths of SOPAC is its ability to mobilize excellent and multidisciplinary science and bring it to bear so as to address the national needs of SOPAC's island member countries. The long-established working relationship between SOPAC and the international research community is a vital element in this endeavor, which STAR is charged to nurture. This relationship stimulated an order-of-magnitude change in the geoscience database in the SOPAC region during the 1980's. During the 1990's it supported the changes in SOPAC's scope and focus that led to the development of the of the three major work programmes and that are still continuing. In earlier years STAR was primarily concerned with "blue-water" marine geoscience, tectonics and resources. However, as national needs and priorities have changed, the scope of STAR has similarly altered, partly reflecting changes in focus of international science but also to ensure that SOPAC's Work Program and its forward planning are influenced by international science that is both excellent and relevant. The wide scope of the work outlined by the abstracts in this volume is a clear indication that this evolution is continuing.

NUMBER 1707 FEBRUARY 1 9, 1955 Notes on the Birds of Northern Melanesia. 31 Passeres BY ERNST MAYR The present paper continues the revisions of birds from northern Melanesia and is devoted to the Order Passeres. The literature on the birds of this area is excessively scattered, and one of the functions of this review paper is to provide bibliographic references to recent litera- ture of the various species, in order to make it more readily available to new students. Another object of this paper, as of the previous install- ments of this series, is to indicate intraspecific trends of geographic varia- tion in the Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomon Islands and to state for each species from where it colonized northern Melanesia. Such in- formation is recorded in preparation of an eventual zoogeographic and evolutionary analysis of the bird fauna of the area. For those who are interested in specific islands, the following re- gional bibliography (covering only the more recent literature) may be of interest: BISMARCK ARCHIPELAGO Reichenow, 1899, Mitt.

  • Geothermaldevelopment at Lihir Island, Papua New Guinea
    Proceedings NZ Geothermal Workshop 2003 GEOTHERMAL DEVELOPMENT AT LIHIR ISLAND, PAPUA NEW GUINEA . P. F. BIXLEY Lihir Gold Limited, PO Box 789 Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea SUMMARY - Geothermal power development at Lihir Island in PNG has posed some unusual challenges. These arise from the geothermal resource, the mining environment and from the isolated location. The mining and geothermal infrastructure are both confined within the caldera, a gravity collapse structure on the northeastern coast of Lihir Island. The original purpose of geothermal wells was to assist the mining operations by depressurising and cooling parts of the geothermal resource ahead of mining operations. The potential to harness at least some of the local geothermal energy has always been recognised and when the first deep production wells had been drilled and tested, a feasibility study was made to examine the technical feasibility of small sale geothermal power generation. A 6MW backpressure plant was approved in June 2002 and commissioned in May 2003. As drilling and testing new wells proceeded the geothermal potential was revised and a further 30MW geothermal generation project was approved in June 2003 for commissioning early in 2005. 1. INTRODUCTION develop suitable drilling sites. The rig used to complete the first 27 geothermal wells required a Lihir Island is located about NE of the minimum footprint of 40x80 metres. The first national capital, Port Moresby, and forms part of eight wells were drilled from two adjacent pads the New Ireland Province of Papua New Guinea located at the southwestern margin of the mine pit. (Figure 1) The later wells were drilled from single-well pads within and around the pit area and on the lowgrade stockpiles.

  • The Chemical Composition of Shallow-Water Hydrothermal Fluids in Tutum Bay, Ambitle Island, Papua New Guinea and Their Effect on Ambient Seawater
    Marine Chemistry 64Ž. 1999 229±252 The chemical composition of shallow-water hydrothermal fluids in Tutum Bay, Ambitle Island, Papua New Guinea and their effect on ambient seawater Thomas Pichler a,), Jan Veizer a,b, Gwendy E.M. Hall c a Ottawa-Carleton Geoscience Centre, UniÕersity of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1N 6N5 b Institut fuer Geologie, Ruhr UniÕersitaet, 44780 Bochum, Germany c Geological SurÕey of Canada, 601 Booth Street, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1A 0E8 Received 27 January 1998; accepted 1 September 1998 Abstract Submarine, hydrothermal venting occurs at Tutum Bay in shallowŽ. 5±10 m water along the inner shelf that contains a patchy distribution of coral±algal reefs. Two types of venting are observed.Ž. 1 Focused discharge of a clear, two-phase fluid from discrete orifices, 10±15 cm in diameter. Discharge temperatures are between 89 and 988C and estimated flow rates are as high as 300 to 400 lrmin.Ž. 2 Dispersed or diffuse discharge that consists of streams of gas bubbles ubiquitous in the area. The composition of the gas is mainly CO222Ž. 92.6±97.9% with minor amounts of N Ž.Ž. 2.2±4.7% , O 0.43±0.73% , ; CH4 Ž. 0.6±2% and He Ž0.01±0.02% . Based on their geographic position and chemical composition, the vents have been divided into two groups, A and B. Area B vents have higher K, Rb, Sb, Cs, Tl, and As and lower Ca, Li, Mn, Fe, and Sr concentrations. Their chemical difference is likely caused by subsurface mixing of a CO2 -rich water with a deep reservoir neutral chloride fluid in varying proportions.

  • Following Buai
    Following Buai The highlands betel nut trade, Papua New Guinea Timothy L. M. Sharp A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The Australian National University December 2012 I hereby declare that this thesis is the result of my own investigations, and where I have drawn on the work of others, due acknowledgement has been made. The text is no longer than 100,000 words. Timothy L. M. Sharp ii Abstract This thesis is the first detailed geographic and ethnographic study of Papua New Guinea’s thriving betel nut trade. It tells the story of the trade of betel nut into the highlands of Papua New Guinea (PNG), and examines the daily lives and interactions of the diverse collection of participants involved in the trade – the ‘betel people’ – and how they have contributed to the making of a flourishing, contemporary and indigenous market. Betel nut is a stimulant that has long been produced, exchanged and consumed throughout lowland PNG, but was absent from the pre-colonial highlands. Since the 1960s increasing numbers of highlanders have started chewing betel nut which has given rise to a long-distance wholesale trade that connects rural lowland producers to the highland consumers. Betel nut is now the country’s most important domestic cash crop, and its sale and resale is a prominent, and potentially lucrative, livelihood activity for rural and urban people in both the lowlands and the highlands. This thesis is based on thirteen months nomadic ethnographic fieldwork in which betel nut, and the actors that shape its trajectory, was followed from the lowland production areas into the highland marketplaces and beyond.
