Slab-derived origin of tremolite-antigorite veins in a supra-subduction ophiolite; the Peridotite Nappe (New Caledonia) as a case study.

Hydration of mantle peridotites provides information on the exhumation history and on the fluid regime accompanying exhumation of these rocks (reservoirs involved, fluid/rock ratios, temperature of interaction). Highly depleted harzburgites and dunit...

Fracture controlled permeability of ultramafic basement aquifers. Inferences from the Koniambo massif, New Caledonia

We study the relationship between fracture distribution and permeability in weathered peridotites exposed to tropical climate using the data from the Koniambo massif (New Caledonia, South Pacific). The vertical distribution of hydraulic conductivity ...

Socioeconomic and environmental determinants of dengue transmission in an urban setting : an ecological study in Noumea, New Caledonia

Background Dengue is a mosquito-borne virus that causes extensive morbidity and economic loss in many tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Often present in cities, dengue virus is rapidly spreading due to urbanization, climate change and in...

Reef accessibility impairs the protection of sharks

1. Reef sharks are declining world-wide under ever-increasing fishing pressure, with potential consequences on ecosystem functioning. Marine protected areas (MPAs) are currently one of the management tools used to counteract the pervasive impacts of ...

Enhancement of coral calcification via the interplay of nickel and urease

Corals are the main reef builders through the formation of calcium carbonate skeletons. In recent decades, coral calcification has however been impacted by many global (climate change) and local stressors (such as destructive fishing practices and ch...

Specific human antibody responses to Aedes aegypti and Aedes polynesiensis saliva : a new epidemiological tool to assess human exposure to disease vec...

Background Aedes mosquitoes severely affect the health and wellbeing of human populations by transmitting infectious diseases. In French Polynesia, Aedes aegypti is the main vector of dengue, chikungunya and Zika, and Aedes polynesiensis the primary ...

Zika virus outbreak in the Pacific : vector competence of regional vectors

Background In 2013, Zika virus (ZIKV) emerged in French Polynesia and spread through the Pacific region between 2013 and 2017. Several potential Aedes mosquitoes may have contributed to the ZIKV transmission including Aedes aegypti, the main arboviru...

Mapping the mangrove forest canopy using spectral unmixing of very high spatial resolution satellite images

Despite the low tree diversity and scarcity of the understory vegetation, the high morphological plasticity of mangrove trees induces, at the stand level, a very large variability of forest structures that need to be mapped for assessing the function...

Carbonation and silicification of the New Caledonia peridotite Nappe: a stable isotope survey

The ophiolite of New Caledonia (Southwest Pacific), known as the Peridotite Nappe, has been subject to tropical weathering since its emersion during the Oligocene. Silica veins at the base of the weathering profile and magnesite veins along the serpe...

Selection and characterization of potential probiotic bacteria for Litopenaeus stylirostris shrimp hatcheries in New Caledonia

In New Caledonia, shrimp hatcheries are confronted with mass mortality in the larval stages, a phenomenon poorly understood as no specific causative agent has been identified. This has resulted in an excessive use of prophylactic antibiotics, althoug...
