    This Keyword List Contains Indian Ocean Place Names of Coral Reefs, Islands, Bays and Other Geographic Features in a Hierarchical Structure

    CoRIS Place Keyword Thesaurus by Ocean - 8/9/2016 Indian Ocean This keyword list contains Indian Ocean place names of coral reefs, islands, bays and other geographic features in a hierarchical structure. For example, the first name on the list - Bird Islet - is part of the Addu Atoll, which is in the Indian Ocean. The leading label - OCEAN BASIN - indicates this list is organized according to ocean, sea, and geographic names rather than country place names. The list is sorted alphabetically. The same names are available from “Place Keywords by Country/Territory - Indian Ocean” but sorted by country and territory name. Each place name is followed by a unique identifier enclosed in parentheses. The identifier is made up of the latitude and longitude in whole degrees of the place location, followed by a four digit number. The number is used to uniquely identify multiple places that are located at the same latitude and longitude. For example, the first place name “Bird Islet” has a unique identifier of “00S073E0013”. From that we see that Bird Islet is located at 00 degrees south (S) and 073 degrees east (E). It is place number 0013 at that latitude and longitude. (Note: some long lines wrapped, placing the unique identifier on the following line.) This is a reformatted version of a list that was obtained from ReefBase.

    Kinmen Reopens Jiangong Islet to Public

    Kinmen reopens Jiangong Islet to public Taipei, Feb. 26 (CNA) Large numbers of tourists have visited Jiangong Islet in Kinmen County since it was recently re-opened to the public, and its rich ecosystem amazes visitors as they walk the stone path in the islet's intertidal zone. Chen Mei-ling (陳美齡), head of the tourism department of the offshore county, said Chinese-English bilingual tourist information is now available to visitors, while new wooden platforms, viewing decks and seashore trails have been built on the islet to provide more comprehensive services to visitors after it was reopened to the public in late January following reconstruction from Dec. 20 last year. The islet, located at the mouth of the Wu River in Jincheng Township and originally named Chu Islet, is 500 meters away from the Kinmen Island and covers 500 square meters. In 1949, it was taken by the Republic of China armed forces, which built stronghold W038 on it in the face of Chinese attacks from the other side of the Taiwan Strait, at a time when the two sides were still at war after the ROC government retreated to Taiwan. It was given the name of Jiangong Islet in 1960 and remained under the control of the ROC military until 1997, when the troops were all withdrawn as part of a military streamlining program. Since then, the islet gradually became dilapidated through lack of care until 2002, when the county government took it over and started repairs in the area with the aim of turning it into a tourist attraction.

As a consequence of their different origins, populations, legal status, administrations and rates of growth, the post-contact western and eastern Muan communities followed different historical trajectories. This chapter traces the history of Mua, linking events with the family connections which always existed but were down-played until the second half of the 20th century. There are four sections, each relating to a different period of Mua’s history.

    [Radiocarbon, Vol 25, No. 2, 1983 P 375-379] RADIOCARBON PROFILES OF ROCKY ISLET, XI-SHA ISLANDS: EVIDENCE OF RECENT CRUSTAL MOVEMENTS IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA CHEN YEE-CHEIN and JIAO WEN-QIANG Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory, Institute of Geology National Bureau of Seismology, Beijing, China The Xi-Sha Islands comprise 35 coral reefs, cays, and is- lets lying to the northwest of the South China Sea. Since Miocene time, > 1200m of bioherms developed on slowly subsid- ing granite-gneiss bed rock. These sediments provide evi- dence for sea-level changes and crustal movements in the South China Sea. GEOLOGIC SETTING According to an echo sounding survey, the Xi-Sha Islands consist of eight coral reefs scattered regularly around a northeast to northwest trend line. This suggests that the growth of these reefs is tied to the regional tectonic trend and relates to the evolution of the South China Sea. Rocky Islet and Yong-Zing Islet lie on the same reef flat in the Xuan-Dei Islands to the north of the Xi-Sha Islands. The distance between both islets is only ca 1000m, but the geomorphology of both islets are quite different. Rocky Islet consists of cemented bioclastic limestone and its maximum ele- vation is 15m, the highest of the Xi-Sha Islands. Rocky Islet is surrounded with cliffs except in the southeast. An uncon- formity boundary exists in the strata at 8 to lOm elevation. The Yong-Ring Islet is a sandy cay with vegetation, consist- ing of uncemented coral-shell sands 20 to 22m thick. At the center of the islet the elevation is only +3 to +5m.

    Soreline Segmentation Method Document

    Data Entry Form Content The following section present and describe the fields in the data entry form. eSPACE data entry form. Length The length of the segment (automated). Width The width of a shoreline segment is the estimate of the representative across- shore dimension (in meters) of the segment. The width corresponds to the average (representative of the entire segment) across-shore distance of the SI zone and the entire intertidal zone (UI, MI, LI) combined. Interpreters should use the video (for narrow shorelines) and the 50k toporama product (for wide shorelines not fully visible on the video) to determine the combined width of the SI and intertidal zones. Combined with the automated segment length measure, this provides an estimate of the potential area that would be affected by an environmental emergency. The average across-shore width of the segment is rounded to intervals of: - 5 m for shores ≤ 25 m wide (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 20, 25); - 25 m for shores 25 m to 500 m wide (e.g., 50, 75, 100, ..., 475, 500); - 250 m for shores ≥ 500 m wide (e.g., 750, 1000, 1250, ...). The maximum allowable width in the Data Entry Form is 9999 meters. Form (UI, SI, Bs) The form refers to the coastal character or geomorphological form of the zone. The choice of form should be consistent with the choice of shoreline type. For example, a mixed and coarse sediment beach shoreline should typically have "Beach" as the form. However, additional entries allow the interpreter to be more precise, if appropriate (such as spit, tombolo, barrier beach, islet, etc.).
