Measuring development trough public policy evaluation? The case of the North Province in New Caledonia

Policies designed for sustainable development are becoming ever more complex and ambiguous. Assessments should thus incorporate development representations and values, rather than only relying on economic and financial normative indicators. This pape...

Orama nui : a programme for an observatory of marine resources and activities in the Pacific Islands Countries

The "ORAMA NUI" programme has been developed by the Territory of French Polynesia and IFREMER, both partners in SPT since 1988. It first aims at alleviating some bottlenecks, mainly in the coastal and lagoon economic development process, by use of sa...

A self-regularising DVM–PSE method for the modelling of diffusion in particle methods

The modelling of diffusive terms in particle methods is a delicate matter and several models have been proposed in the literature. The Diffusion Velocity Method (DVM) consists in rewriting these terms in an advective way, thus defining a so-called di...

Cryptic adaptive radiation in tropical forest trees in New Caledonia

The causes of the species richness of tropical trees are poorly understood, in particular the roles of ecological factors such as soil composition. The nickel(Ni)-hyperaccumulating tree genus Geissois (Cunoniaceae) from the South-west Pacific was cho...

SSDM : an R package to predict distribution of species richness and composition based on stacked species distribution models

1. There is growing interest among conservationists in biodiversity mapping based on stacked species distribution models (SSDMs), a method that combines multiple individual species distribution models to produce a community-level model. However, no u...

Diet and gut microorganisms of Munidopsis squat lobsters associated with natural woods and mesh-enclosed substrates in the deep South Pacific

Squat lobsters of the deep-sea genus Munidopsis are among the most regularly reported crustaceans associated with deep-sea wood falls. They are often thought to indirectly use these substrates for preying or scavenging wood-associated molluscs or ann...

Colonization and release processes of viruses and prokaryotes on artificial marine macroaggregates

Marine organic aggregates are sites of high of viral accumulation; however, still little is known about their colonization processes and interactions with their local bacterial hosts. By taking advantage of a novel approach (paramagnetic functionaliz...

Investigating the March 28th 1875 and the September 20th 1920 earthquakes/tsunamis of the Southern Vanuatu arc, offshore Loyalty Islands, New Caledoni...

New Caledonia's Loyalty Islands are located in the southwest region of the Pacific ocean in the highly seismogenic southern Vanuatu subduction zone and therefore may be subject to devastating local tsunamis. Over the past 150 years, two large tsunami...

On the Influence and Correction of Water Content on pXRF Analysis of Lateritic Nickel Ore Deposits in the Context of Open Pit Mines of New-Caledonia

In a number of applications, the use of portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) instruments offers a time and cost-saving alternative to standard laboratory instruments. This is particularly true in a mining context where decisions must be taken quickly i...

Floating cages as an experimental tool for shrimp culture studies: first attempts to check their reliability

The first aim of this study was to evaluate on a technical basis the rearing of shrimps in floating cages set up in earthen ponds. Shrimps reared in and outside the cages presented comparable growths and survival rates. Then it was concluded that shr...
