Bonriki Inundation Vulnerability Assessment (BIVA) - Groundwater geophysics database and associated map


Datasets from the groundwater investigations and analysis component, and coastal investigations and analysis component that were acquired under the Bonriki Inundation Vulnerability Assessment (BIVA) project. Includes EM34 and resistivity survey results.

For more information on accessing the physical data, please contact Peter Sinclair: peters2@spc.int

A GIS map representation of the data (and associated layers) is available via PacGeo at http://www.pacgeo.org/maps/2766

The map uses the following layers:


The Bonriki Inundation Vulnerability Assessment (BIVA) project aimed to improve understanding of the vulnerability of the Bonriki freshwater reserve to coastal hazards and climate variability and change. Improved knowledge of risks to this freshwater resource will enable better adaptation planning by the Government of Kiribati.
