Coordinates and point heights

CSV

Each value belongs to one GPS row; it is not a single elevation for the site. The CSV distinguishes local-datum height from receiver altitude.

Manifest

The map’s DEM layer is a hillshade visualization. These links provide the source elevation raster and orthophoto as GeoTIFFs for local analysis. The DEM uses the island-specific datum.

HS110: Araoa

Mangaia, Cook Islands

Surveyed 2026-06-02

HS110: Araoa

Explore Araoa's coastal cliff, Last Interglacial reef framework, and potential Holocene encrusting coral.

Field notes

Based on Araoa field observations of 2 June 2026 and Blake’s target selections on 13 October 2026. The selected wall framework is labelled Last Interglacial reef framework. The lower encrusting coral is interpreted as potentially Holocene; its age remains tentative. Local presentation coordinates are not a sea-level datum. The flat block walls and upper cut are artificial display surfaces.
