or liquid fuels. The islands have an apparent abundance
of natural resources for this purpose such qs the sun,
rivers, vegetation, the ocean, and wind; and, ideally,
it should be relatively simple to convert these
resources to electricity or fuel. However, there are
problems unique to the remote, tropical Pacific that
often appear insurmountable, and successes to date are
the results of unusual persistence, hard work, and
ingenuity of those on the islands. Projects are confined
to those that actually develop or demonstrate hardware.
These projects use the complete spectrum of alternative
technologies such as biomass conversion, wind electric,
solar water heating, photovoltaics, wind water pumping,
hydroelectric, water desalination, and integrated
systems. 381 refs., 85 figs.

The Holocene reef-building coral Favia pallida was
sampled at 4.5 m depth increments (to 40 m) from two
reefs on Enewetak Atoll to examine intraspecific
environmental effects. An exposed outer reef was massive
and wall-like, whereas a sheltered lagoonal reef grew as
a slender pinnacle.
Corallite diameter and growth rate,
two attributes retrievable in fossil corals,
were
measured with data partitioned into shallow (<20 m),
intermediate (20 to 29 m), and deep-water (>29 m)
subsets. Highly significant differences between depth
zone populations were found for both corallite diameters
and growth rates in analyses of individual and combined
