Subject: land use/land cover maps of South Pacific countries


A patron is looking for land use/land cover maps of different countries in a
wide area of the South Pacific, including Hawaii, the Philippines, and Papua
New Guinea.

If you are aware of an atlas that covers these countries, or individual
country atlases that would include this type of map, please let me know.
Internet sites or flat maps would be fine also.

She would like mapped information on classes such as: urban, grassland,
forest, shrubs, desert, crops, rainforest, dunes, glacier, wetland, water.
(She's using the Olsen Classification, which has 94 variations of these
classes.)

Thanks in advance for your help.
