COSPPac2 Highlights – PSLGM

Pacific Sea Level and Geodetic Monitoring (PSLGM) - Ensuring a Continuity of High-Quality Long-Term Sea Level Data for the Pacific.


The PSLGM project operates under the Climate and Oceans Support Program in the Pacific (COSPPac). This video highlights our Phase 2 achievements and initiatives that have strengthened climate and disaster resilience in the Pacific region.


The primary goal of the project is to generate an accurate record of variance in long-term sea level for the Pacific region.


The 14 Pacific Island countries participating in the project in phase 2 are the Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu. Thirteen of the participating countries host a permanent sea level monitoring station. These provide information on sea levels and tides. Palau does not have a permanent station, so tidal predictions for Palau are calculated from other sources.


Highlights over COSPPac2 for the PSLGM project include:

  • Strengthened relationships and support from NMS and LDS, boosting local technical capacity.

  • Upgraded GNSS Refresh Stations.

  • Enhanced understanding of vertical land motion, sea level impacts, and absolute sea level data creation.

  • Expanded Pacific Tidal Prediction Calendars from 18 to 40 sites for 2024.

  • Launched Pacific Tides Mobile App for extended access to tide calendars
