  • 21. Volcanic Ash Layers from Sites 828, 830, 831, 832, and 833, New Hebrides Island Arc1
    Greene, H.G., Collot, J.-Y., Stokking, L.B., et al., 1994 Proceedings of the Ocean Drilling Program, Scientific Results, Vol. 134 21. VOLCANIC ASH LAYERS FROM SITES 828, 830, 831, 832, AND 833, NEW HEBRIDES ISLAND ARC1 Peter E. Baker,2 Massimo Coltorti,3 Louis Briqueu,4 Toshiaki Hasenaka,5 and Eric Condliffe2 ABSTRACT Volcanic ash layers (1-3 cm thick) are abundant in the North Aoba Basin drill sites but less common at forearc sites. Ash deposited on the forearc slopes is liable to be redistributed as turbidites. In addition, the westerly upper winds also minimize ash-fall on the western (forearc) side of the New Hebrides Island Arc. Crystalline components in the ashes are primarily Plagioclase (An90-An44), clinopyroxene (Ca46Mg49Fe5-Ca43Mg33Fe24), olivine (Fo87-Fo62), and titanomagnetite. There are also small amounts of orthopyroxene, magnetite, apatite, and quartz. Glass shards occur in most of the ashes and range in composition from basalt to rhyolite. There is often a variety of glass compositions within a single ash layer. One explanation for this is that the rate of accumulation of ash from several different eruptions or eruptive phases exceeded the background sedimentation rate: there may also have been a certain amount of reworking. The high-K and low-K trends previously recognized in volcanic rocks from the New Hebrides Island Arc are clearly represented in the Leg 134 glasses. All of the ashes investigated here are thought to have originated from the Central Chain volcanoes. The source of the high-K group was probably the Central Basin volcanoes of Santa Maria, Aoba, and Ambrym.

  • I. Introduction Vanuatu Is a Small Island Nation In
    Millennium Challenge Corporation For Immediate Release March 2, 2006 Vanuatu Compact Executive Summary I. Introduction Vanuatu is a small island nation in the South Pacific comprised of 83 separate islands, where approximately half of the population lives in poverty. As a small, open, island economy, agriculture and tourism are central to Vanuatu’s growth. These two sectors together employ more than 70% of Vanuatu’s working population1 and represent approximately 34% of Vanuatu’s GDP2. Vanuatu’s poor transportation infrastructure, however, continues to hinder formal economic activity and investment in the agriculture and tourism sectors, thereby constraining private-sector led economic growth. Vanuatu’s capital outlays, at 7% of national expenditures, are the lowest in the Pacific region3. The five-year, $65.69 million Vanuatu Compact provides an in-depth focus on one economic development priority: overcoming transport infrastructure constraints to poverty reduction and economic growth, specifically for rural areas. Consisting of eleven infrastructure projects – including roads, wharves, an airstrip, and warehouses, as well as institutional strengthening initiatives for enhanced maintenance capacity, the program aims to benefit poor, rural agricultural producers and providers of tourist-related goods and services by reducing transportation costs and improving the reliability of access to transportation services (the “MCA Program”). II. Program Overview and Budget Vanuatu’s MCA Program consists of two principal components: (i) civil works for the reconstruction of priority transport infrastructure on eight islands, covering roads, wharfs, airstrips, and warehouses (the “Transport Infrastructure Project”); and (ii) institutional strengthening efforts in Vanuatu’s Public Works Department (“PWD”), including the provision of plant and equipment for maintenance, in order to facilitate enhanced sustainability and maintenance of infrastructure assets (the “Institutional Strengthening Project”).

  • Highlights Situation Overview
    Vanuatu: Tropical Cyclone Pam Situation Report No. 4 (as of 18 March 2015) This report is produced by the OCHA Regional Office for the Pacific (ROP) in collaboration with humanitarian partners. It covers the period from 17 to 18 March 2015. The next report will be issued on or around 19 March 2015. Highlights The Government-led joint Initial Rapid Needs Assessments continued today, indicating an urgent need for food, water, medical supplies, hygiene kits, kitchen kits, tents and bedding. Emerging aerial images confirm total or near-total destruction of homes, buildings and crops. A total of 34 schools are being used as evacuation centres on Efate Island and the provinces of Torba and Penama, which prevents children from attending school. Food supplies in affected areas, particularly in Erromango, are running critically low. Medicines, body bags and power supplies for hospitals are urgently required. An estimated 60 per cent of the population in Shefa and Tafea provinces has no access to drinking water. 11 3,026 36 Confirmed fatalities People in evacuation Evacuation centres centres in Efate in Efate Source: Vanuatu National Disaster Management Office Situation Overview Government-led joint Initial Rapid Needs Assessments have continued, broadening the reach to include islands in Erromango and Tanna islands (Tafea Province), Emae, Tongoa and Epi islands (Shefa Province), West Ambrym island (Malampa Province) and Pentecote island (Penama Province). The information collected will inform further response decisions. On 18 March, a 12-person team travelled to Tanna in Tafea province. The team consisted of specialists from health, WASH, shelter, food and agriculture, education and protection sectors, as well as medical staff from Vanuatu and Australia.

    Situation report issued by NDMO Vanuatu This report covers the period from 18 March 2015 Highlights The Vanuatu Government continues to manage and coordinate relief efforts across all affected areas. Joint Rapid Assessments carried out in Tanna, Erromango, Anatom, Futuna, Epi, and Emae on 18 March. Australian Defense Force, ADF compiled and issued a national damage assessment in support of coordination 1.0 Situation Overview The Vanuatu Government continues to manage and coordinate relief efforts. It has issued a directive that all international assistance must be approved before it can be mobilized, and then coordinated through official government channels. The commitment to coordination aims to ensure needs are identified and responded to in a systematic, efficient way as quickly as possible, avoiding duplication and ensuring that resources are targeted to communities in areas where they are most needed. The National Disaster Management Office is expanding its coordination structures and systems to provide support to the Government and responding relief agencies. United Nations has set up a Humanitarian Response Page as the central repository of documents generated in support of the coordination effort related to Tropical Cyclone Pam. The government-led joint initial rapid assessments continued on 18 March, broadening the reach to include islands in Tafea, Penama, Malampa and Shefa Provinces. The information collected will inform further response decisions. Islands assessed are: Tanna, Erromango, Anatom, Futuna, Epi, and Emae Results of aerial assessments of Tafea, Penama, Malampa and Shefa were published on 17 March. The ADF compiled and issued a national damage assessment report based on aerial reconnaissance. It details the impact of the cyclone of housing, infrastructure, communication assets, agriculture, water storage facilities, key public infrastructure and air and sea ports of entry.
