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 ...

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...

Transcriptome data from three endemic Myrtaceae species from New Caledonia displaying contrasting responses to myrtle rust (Austropuccinia psidii)

The myrtle rust disease, caused by the fungus Austropuccinia psidii, infects a wide range of host species within the Myrtaceae family worldwide. Since its first report in 2013 in New Caledonia, it was found on various types of native environments whe...

Carbonate dissolution by reef microbial borers : a biogeological process producing alkalinity under different pCO(2) conditions

Rising atmospheric CO2 is acidifying the world's oceans, affecting both calcification and dissolution processes in coral reefs. Among processes, carbonate dissolution by bioeroding microflora has been overlooked, and especially its impact on seawater...

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...

Drivers of tree community assembly during tropical forest post-fire succession in anthropogenic savannas

In the context of global change, tropical forests are increasingly affected by fires. Understanding the ecological processes driving forest recovery in fire-modified landscapes is a critical issue. We analyzed spatial and temporal (8 years) changes i...

Constrained optimization of landscape indices in conservation planning to support ecological restoration in New Caledonia

Curbing habitat loss, reducing fragmentation and restoring connectivity are frequent concerns of conservation planning. In this respect, the incorporation of spatial constraints, fragmentation and connectivity indices into optimization procedures is ...

The Norfolk Ridge: A Proximal Record of the Tonga‐Kermadec Subduction Initiation

Norfolk Ridge bounds the northeastern edge of the continent of Zealandia and is proximal to where Cenozoic Tonga-Kermadec subduction initiation occurred. We present and analyze new seismic reflection, bathymetric and rock data from Norfolk Ridge that...
