In 2008 and 2010, exotic drift pumice was collected from a total of 40 beaches around the main island of New Caledonia, Southwest Pacific. This island is enclosed by a barrier reef lagoon whose 2008 designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site brought attention to the ongoing environmental degradation caused by a century of open cast nickel mining. This type of mining is notorious for producing voluminous fine-grained waste sediment that clogs waterways and may compromise the biodiversity of the lagoon. This study examines the use of drift pumice as a visual marker of suspended sediment transported within and around the lagoon. The frequent, voluminous pumice eruptions in the region provide ample source material that is fairly durable and highly mobile in water. Geochemical analyses identified two recent eruptions in the central Tonga arc as the source of the pumice, which was transported to New Caledonia by the South Equatorial Current. Pumice abundance was shown to correspond directly with the incoming wave intensity. Coupling pumice distribution data with information about the beach morphology, it is possible to use land-based data collection methods to identify at-risk coastal areas exhibiting elevated fluvial input with reduced marine influence. / Methods -- Study area -- Regional setting -- Geomorphology -- Geochemistry -- Petrography -- Discussion. / Department of Geological Sciences

Geological evidence suggests large-scale continental extension during the breakup of the eastern Gondwana margin was the predominant force controlling rifting of New Caledonia from the eastern Gondwana margin and formation of the Tasman Sea in the Late Cretaceous. Tectonic models suggest slab-rollback forces elongated and thinned the crustal lithosphere detaching crustal fragments from the Gondwana margin. Current tectonic models lack detailed timing and placement of this crustal detachment with respect to New Caledonia based on lack of evidence (rocks). An isotope and paleomagnetic study was carried out on a bi-modal assemblage of volcanic rock exposed on the southwest side of New Caledonia in the Nouméa Basin. U/Pb isotope ages of zircon grains found within siliceous volcanic rock in the Nouméa Basin provide temporal evidence that volcanism persisted both before and after the breakup of the eastern Gondwana Continent (100-90 Ma) in the Late Cretaceous. Four isotope ages >97 Ma and a series (11 samples) ranging from 91-76 Ma constrain the siliceous volcanism of the Nouméa Basin to the Late Cretaceous. A paleomagnetic inquiry utilizing statistics of both McFadden/Reid and Fisher carried out on 16 Nouméa Basin siliceous and mafic in situ formations place the oldest volcanic units found within the Nouméa Basin at 650 S latitude as New Caledonia began to separate from Gondwana (~100 Ma). The data suggests a well-developed arc signature in the region, which persisted for at least 15 Ma in the Late Cretaceous. Compared to current tectonic models of the southwest Pacific Region from the Late Cretaceous to Eocene, our data suggests New Caledonia was further south on the eastern Gondwana supercontinent prior to rifting in the Late Cretaceous than current models. / Geologic background -- Tectonic setting -- Methods -- Sampling -- Results -- Discussion. / Department of Geological Sciences

This thesis is an examination of the particular role that education has played in the development of colonialism in New Caledonia. The focus is on the role of education in the developing relationship between the colonised people and the colonial power. It will be shown that France's education policies closely paralleled its political objectives in New Caledonia. Similarly, the changing Kanak attitude towards education can be seen to reflect changes in their political aspirations and developments in their anti-colonial struggle.
