J. Dupont et al., MORPHOSTRUCTURAL STUDY OF THE SOUTHERN ZO NE OF NEW-CALEDONIA AND LOYALTY RIDGES (EEZ OF NEW-CALEDONIA, SOUTHWEST PACIFIC), Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie II. Mecanique, physique, chimie, astronomie, 320(3), 1995, pp. 211-218
The interpretation of the ZoNeCo 1 cruise swath-bathymetry and imagery
data allow definition of the morphostructural fabric of the southern
ends of the New Caledonia and Loyalty ridges. The acoustic imagery dat
a show wide areas with sediment-free shoals, possibly covered by Fe-Mn
crusts, and gravitational flows from the Loyalty Basin southern part
towards the South Fiji Basin.
