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...

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 ...

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 ...

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...

Garnierite characterisation for open data bases for nickel laterite exploration

The nickel laterite mining industry faces lower recovery rates related to low ore grades, multiple nickel carrying minerals, as well as lateral and vertical heterogeneities at ore deposit scale. Garnierite, a complex mixture of nickel-bearing phyllos...

Forest and tree species distribution on the ultramafic substrates of New Caledonia

About a third of New Caledonia is covered with ultramafic soils (UM) which hosts a rich flora (endemism > 85%) threatened by mining activities. This combination makes the ultramafic vegetation a floristic hotspot within a biodiversity hotspot. UM soi...

Can we use the planation surface concept to reconstruct the morphogenesis of New Caledonia,? First low temperature thermochronological data

Nickel ore deposits of New Caledonia are formed in thick laterites and ferricretes developed on peridotites. Formation of this regolith remains unclear but combines stable phases with weathering profile development and preservation and mobile phases ...

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...

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,...

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 dataset...
