ABSTRACT
Data are summarized on the geological aspeéts of
Eniwetok gathered over the last 40 years. The history of
investigations may be divided into three periods:
pre-1946, 1946-1964 and post-1964. The first period was
one of discovery and initial exploration, focusing on
surficial geologic features. Beginning in 1946, there
was a significant increase in knowledge of atolls
resulting from a series of comprehensive scientific
studies which established baselines to assess effects
from nuclear weapons testing conducted at Eniwetok
between 1946 and 1958. From 1964 to the present,
scientific studies have been of two types: those which
have continued to address the problems conceptualized by
earlier studies and those which have addressed the
effects of the nuclear weapons testing. Studies of the
hydrology of Eniwetok were initiated in 1972 to evaluate
possible environmental effects of the proposed PACE high
explosive craters on the ground-water resources of the
islands.

weather and
climate of Eniwetok. The environment is also described,
focusing on the lagoon, the reef flat, the seaward slope
and the islands at Eniwetok. Man-made features that are
evaluated include quarries which were excavated for
building or road construction. A number of craters which
remain from nuclear weapons testing are discussed.
