Eocene pre- and syn-obduction tectonics in New Caledonia (Southwest Pacific), a case for oblique subduction, transcurrent tectonics and oroclinal bend...

The structural analysis of the metamorphic belt and allochthonous terranes, which represent the lower and upper plates of the Eocene subduction/obduction complex of New Caledonia respectively, unravels a multi-step evolution. At subduction inception,...

Post-obduction dismantling of the early regolith and related conglomerates in the Kopeto-Boulinda-Nepoui area (New Caledonia): a possible Lower Miocen...

In New Caledonia post obduction uplift caused the erosion of the early regolith, but their timing is poorly constrained. The Nepoui Formation, on the west coast, is a witness of post-obduction deposits. This area presents stepped ferruginized surface...

The metamorphic sole of New Caledonia ophiolite: Ar-40/Ar-39, U-Pb, and geochemical evidence for subduction inception at a spreading ridge

Amphibolite lenses that locally crop out below the serpentinite sole at the base of the ophiolite of New Caledonia (termed Peridotite Nappe) recrystallized in the high-temperature amphibolite facies and thus sharply contrast with blueschists and eclo...

Effect of the association of cattle and rusa deer Cervus timorensis russa on populations of cattle ticks (Boophilus microplus)

The wild population of rusa deer (Cervus timorensis russa) in New Caledonia (South Pacific) is nearly as large as the cattle population. The cattle tick is widespread and occurs all year round. Opinions are divided on the role of deer in the biologic...

Integration and segregation in the evolution of agricultural development policies in New Caledonia

Relationships between agriculture and rural societies raise controversies that question development models. Dichotomous views dominate the debate: small and large structures, inclusive or exclusive of agriculture, etc. This paper identifies how conce...

Application of the support vector regression method for turbidity assessment with MODIS on a shallow coral reef lagoon (Voh-Kone-Pouembout, New Caledo...

Particle transport by erosion from ultramafic lands in pristine tropical lagoons is a crucial problem, especially for the benthic and pelagic biodiversity associated with coral reefs. Satellite imagery is useful for assessing particle transport from ...

Feral cats threaten the outstanding endemic fauna of the New Caledonia biodiversity hotspot

Feral cats (Felts catus) are one of the most successful and harmful invasive predator species, leading to dramatic loss of biodiversity across the globe. Our study assessed feral cat predation in a major biodiversity hotspot: the New Caledonian archi...

Deepwater fold-and-thrust belt along New Caledonia's western margin : relation to post-obduction vertical motions

Classically, deepwater fold-and-thrust belts are classified in two main types, depending if they result from near- or far-field stresses and the understanding of their driving and triggering mechanism is poorly known. We present a geophysical data se...

Hydrodynamic time parameters response to meteorological and physical forcings : toward a stagnation risk assessment device in coastal areas

Identifying zones of stagnation and deposition of terrigenous matter or contaminants induced by human activity is a key issue in coastal areas. In this paper, circulation processes and potential contaminant stagnation and deposition zones were assess...

Social segregation of humpback whales in contrasted coastal and oceanic breeding habitats

Maternal habitat preferences of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are well documented from decades of coastal research but oceanic areas have received less attention. Whales breeding in New Caledonia occupy both ecosystems: a coastal reef comp...
