Abstract:
The Afrotropical freshwater crab genus Seychellum is endemic to the granitic Seychelles in the Indian Ocean (Mahé, Silhouette, Praslin, La Digue and Frégate). Here we describe two new cryptic species of Seychellum that represent two evolutionarily separate lineages of a previously monotypic genus. This raises to three the number of species of freshwater crabs known from Seychelles. Each species is endemic to either one island (Silhouette) or to a pair of islands (Mahé and Frégate, or Praslin and La Digue). The three species can be clearly distinguished as separate lineages by DNA analysis, haplotyping and examination of gonopod characters. The recognition of S. silhouette, sp. nov. (endemic to Silhouette) and S. mahefregate, sp. nov. (endemic to Mahé and Frégate) reduces the range of the type species, S. alluaudi (A. Milne-Edwards & Bouvier, 1893) to La Digue and Praslin. Both dispersal and vicariance may have played a role in shaping the present distribution patterns of the Seychellois freshwater crabs.

Abstract:
The filmy fern Abrodictyum cupressoides, initially reported from Madagascar and the Seychelles (locus classicus), is often confused in the field and in collections with similar local species, especially the pantropical A. rigidum. A comparative morphological investigation of Malagasy and Seychellois specimens finds strong differences between A. cupressoides and A. rigidum as well as between Malagasy and Seychellois A. cupressoides, suggesting three distinct morpho-species. A molecular phylogeny based on rbcL sequences focused on the genus Abrodictyum shows the polyphyly of both A. cupressoides and A. rigidum, and reveals that A. cupressoides should be excluded from Abrodictyum, would belong to Trichomanes and is restricted to the Seychelles. A new description for Seychellois Trichomanes cupressoides is thus proposed. In addition, generic treatments for Malagasy T. pachyphlebium, T. madagascariense, T. boivinii and African A. guineense are discussed.

Abstract:
Madagascar and the Seychelles are Gondwanan remnants currently isolated in the Indian Ocean. In the Late Cretaceous, these islands were joined with India to form the Indigascar landmass, which itself then split into its three component parts around the start of the Tertiary. This history is reflected in the biota of the Seychelles, which appears to contain examples of both vicariance- and dispersal-mediated divergence from Malagasy or Indian sister taxa. One lineage for which this has been assumed but never thoroughly tested is the Seychellean tiger chameleon, a species assigned to the otherwise Madagascar-endemic genus Calumma . We present a multi-locus phylogenetic study of chameleons, and find that the Seychellean species is actually the sister taxon of a southern African clade and requires accomodation in its own genus as Archaius tigris . Divergence dating and biogeographic analyses indicate an origin by transoceanic dispersal from Africa to the Seychelles in the Eocene–Oligocene, providing, to our knowledge, the first such well-documented example and supporting novel palaeocurrent reconstructions.

Abstract:
Only two French-lexified creole languages possess de jure official status: Haitian (kreyòl aysisyen) in Haiti, and Seychellois (kreol Seselwa) in the Seychelles. This paper situates the past and contemporary sociolinguistics of Haitian and Seychellois in their respective homelands. The histories and politics of the two states are examined from their times as European colonies to their present-day as independent states. This will be followed by comparing the current state of the languages through three lenses: education, government, and popular discourse. The status of the creoles in each of those roles is discussed in relation to the other official languages of the states (French in both, along with English in the Seychelles.) The relationship between the creole languages and French is highlighted. I conclude with a discussion on the power of governmental support for creole languages generally, and potential lessons to be learned from the Haitian and Seychellois cases.

Abstract:
The fern flora of the Seychelles archipelago remains relatively poorly known. Current projects involving the development of the Seychelles National Herbarium and study of key biodiversity areas have resulted in extensive new explorations on the granitic islands. Historical literature, newly collected specimens and older collections have been revised for the fern family Marattiaceae as a prelude for a fern checklist, resulting in the rediscovery of Ptisana a century after it was last reported (as Marattia). Two species of Angiopteris are recognised in the Seychelles, one of them new to science. In total, three species are recorded from the granitic Seychelles islands, Mahé and Silhouette, and none from the coral islands, which are too dry to harbour Marattiaceae. These three species are described in detail. The newly described Angiopteris chongsengiana is characterized by the elongated terminal pinnules and progressively reduced distal pairs of pinnules. Based on phylogenetic molecular analyses the Ptisana fraxinea complex is discussed and several new combinations are proposed. The Seychellois Ptisana is most closely related to Ascension Island endemic P. purpurascens and is described as a new species, Ptisana laboudalloniana. It differs from P. fraxinea in its winged secondary rachises and from P. salicifolia in its smaller habit, with the laminae shorter than broad and shorter than the petioles. Preliminary revisions of other fern families indicate that more discoveries are likely to be made in the fern flora of the Seychelles.

Full text
Abstract:
Ligia isopods are conspicuous inhabitants of rocky intertidal habitats exhibiting several biological traits that severely limit their dispersal potential. Their presence in patchy habitats and low vagility may lead to long term isolation, allopatric isolation and possible cryptic speciation. Indeed, various species of Ligia have been suggested to represent instead cryptic species complexes. Past studies; however, have largely focused in Eastern Pacific and Atlantic species of Ligia, leaving in doubt whether cryptic diversity occurs in other highly biodiverse areas. The Seychelles consists of 115 islands of different ages and geological origins spread across the western Indian Ocean. They are well known for their rich biodiversity with recent reports of cryptic species in terrestrial Seychellois organisms. Despite these studies, it is unclear whether coastal invertebrates from the Seychelles harbor any cryptic diversity. In this study, we examined patterns of genetic diversity and isolation within Ligia isopods across the Seychelles archipelago by characterizing individuals from locations across both inner and outer islands of the Seychelles using mitochondrial and nuclear markers. We report the presence of highly divergent lineages of independent origin. At Aldabra Atoll, we uncovered a lineage closely related to the Ligia vitiensis cryptic species complex. Within the inner islands of Cousine, Silhouette, and Mahé we detected the presence of two moderately divergent and geographically disjunct lineages most closely related to Ligia dentipes. Our findings suggest that the Seychelles may harbor at least three novel species of Ligia in need of description and that these species may have originated independently.

Abstract:
Les dynamiques littorales de quatre îles de l'archipel des Seychelles, montagneuses pour trois d'entre elles (Mahé, Praslin, la Digue, groupe granitique) et corallienne pour la dernière (Desroches, groupe des Amirantes) ont été étudiées. Ce travail procède à la fois d'une démarche de recherche fondamentale dans le but d'améliorer la connaissance et la compréhension des processus dynamiques et des rapports entre l'Homme et les littoraux, et d'une démarche de recherche appliquée. Le premier objectif est d'éclairer le fonctionnement des espaces côtiers par la connaissance de leur histoire. L'homme joue un rôle majeur dans la dégradation des récifs et des côtes sableuses mais à l'inverse mineur dans l'érosion des plages. Le second objectif est, à partir d'une analyse de terrain effectuée à l'échelle du site, de proposer des outils de gestion des espaces côtiers. Les contextes culturel et politique sont pris en compte aux niveaux national et supranational. Deux outils de gestion intégrée, établis dans la perspective du développement soutenable voulu par la République des Seychelles en tant que membre du PNUE et de la COI, sont proposés : un indice d'attractivité des plages et une méthode d'évaluation de la vulnérabilité des espaces côtiers. Conçus dans une perspective d'aménagement touristique préventif, ils peuvent être transposés dans d'autres îles de la zone intertropicale
This is a study of the coastal dynamics of four islands of the Seychelles archipelago, both mountainous (Mahe, Praslin, La Digue, granitic group) and coralline (Desroches, amirantes group). The aim of the first part of this work is to improve the understanding of the coastal processes including the impact of man. History of coasts and management are often referred to because they help understanding the present situation. On another hand, this study is practical; it was made at the scale of coastal sites so as to propose management tools. The cultural and political facts are taken into account at national and supranational levels. A method of beach rating and an assessment of the sensibility of coastal sites are proposed in order to contribute to the policy of sustainable development of the republic of Seychelles. They must be used for preventive and integrated coastal management and they can be applied to the coasts of other tropical islands

Abstract:
Ce travail vise en premier lieu a étudier l’impact de divers facteurs du milieu et de l’éradication des rats sur les communautés d’Arthropodes d’une sélection d’îles. Pour cela, nous avons suivi les peuplements d’invertébrés en utilisant principalement pièges-fosses et points de comptage sur feuilles. La situation géographique de l’île et le type de substrat semblent déterminants mais aucun facteur n’apparaît dominant et ceux agissant à une microéchelle pourraient avoir une influence insoupçonnée. Sur les îles granitiques, l’abondance, la richesse et la diversité en invertébrés diminuent fortement après l’éradication des rats, laissant supposer une facilitation (probablement indirecte) des rongeurs sur les peuplements d’invertébrés, en particulier pour les Hémiptères Auchénorhynches (P<0,001). Sur l’île corallienne échantillonnée, en revanche, l’éradication entraîne une augmentation significative (p<0,05) de l’abondance en Araignées (P<0,01), en Coléoptères (P<0,05) et en Formicidés (P<0,05). Ces réactions contraires seraient liées à la structure de l’écosystème perturbé, notamment à la présence d’animaux insectivores pouvant être limités par les rats. Nous avons ensuite tenté l’introduction à fins de conservation d’un insecte endémique rare, la Phyllie des Seychelles Phyllium bioculatum (Phasmatodea, Phylliidae). Des difficultés sont survenues pendant l’élevage et certaines phyllies, réintroduites en semiliberté, ont été tuées par des prédateurs inconnus. Notre expérience pourra cependant servir de base à de futurs projets de réintroduction d’insectes dans l’Océan Indien, où elle fut une première. Enfin, nous avons découvert deux espèces du genre Cratopus (Curculionidés) nouvelles pour la science et ainsi contribué à l’inventaire de l’entomofaune locale
This work aims primarily at studying the impact of various factors, and particularly the eradication of rats, on Arthropod assemblages in a sample of islands. We monitored populations of invertebrates using mainly pitfall traps and leaf point counts. Island geographical location and type of substrate seem important, although no factor appears dominant, hence microfactors (at microhabitat level) might well have an unsuspected influence. On granitic islands, invertebrate abundance, richness and diversity decreased sharply after rat eradication, suggesting a likely indirect facilitation on the invertebrate populations by rodents, particularly for Auchenorrhyncha (Hemiptera) (P<0,001). On the coralline island studied, however, eradication resulted in a significant increase (p <0. 05) in the abundance of Spiders (P <0. 01), Coleoptera (P <0. 05) and Formicidae (P <0. 05). These opposite reactions are probably related to the structure of the disturbed ecosystems, particularly to the presence of insectivorous animals which may be limited by rats (birds, reptiles, large insects). Our second objective was to attempt a first conservation introduction of the rare endemic Seychelles leaf-insect Phyllium bioculatum (Phasmatodea: Phylliidae). There were difficulties during the captive breeding phase and the released leaf-insects, reintroduced with a semi-captive procedure, disappeared or were found killed by unknown predators. However, this experience, which was the first documented conservation introduction attempt in the Indian Ocean, can serve as a basis for future similar projects. Finally, we discovered two species of Cratopus (Curculionidae) new to science and thus contributed to the inventory of the local entomofauna

Abstract:
This thesis investigates evolutionary patterns of variation in endemic amphibians from the Seychelles archipelago. Focal groups include the treefrog (Tachycnemis seychellensis), and a radiation of caecilians in three genera (Grandisonia, Hypogeophis and Praslinia), and attempts to place these into a phylogenetic context. The introduction (Chapter 1) discusses the importance of islands in the study of evolution and examines patterns of intraspecific variation that have been reported in other Seychelles organisms. Chapter 2 provides the first intraspecific molecular study of the monotypic Seychelles treefrog Tachycnemis, implementing a species tree approach in order to investigate its relationship with its closest living relatives (Heterixalus) from Madagascar and test whether its ancestor colonised the Seychelles via overseas dispersal. Chapters 3 and 4 explore variation in the six species of Seychelles caecilian, all of which overlap in range on at least one island. To assess within- and among-island intraspecific variation in these subterranean amphibians, Chapter 3 uses genetic data from both mitochondrial and nuclear markers, while Chapter 4 uses morphometric and meristic data. Differing patterns of geographic structure was observed among the caecilian species. The final two data chapters analyse species-level relationships among the Seychelles caecilians. Chapter 5 utilises Next Generation Sequencing to obtain mitogenomic data, and multiple approaches to infer phylogeny, and the effectiveness of alternative methods are evaluated. Chapter 6 attempts to resolve relationships of the island caecilians using 11 nuclear loci and multiple methods of phylogenetic inference. Chapter 7 discusses how the thesis has increased knowledge of the study taxa and of the evolution of amphibians on islands, particularly the Seychelles.

Abstract:
La leptospirose est une maladie négligée émergente touchant plus particulièrement les régions tropicales, et plus encore les îles tropicales telles que les Seychelles, qui enregistrent des incidences humaines parmi les plus élevées au monde. Cette thèse a pour objectifs d’explorer l’éco épidémiologie de la leptospirose aux Seychelles (i) en utilisant les rats comme marqueurs d’exposition environnementale, (ii) en décrivant l’épidémiologie moléculaire de la maladie chez l’homme et l’animal à travers une approche “One Health”, et enfin (iii) en identifiant les comportements et professions à risque tout en en comparant la situation actuelle à celle décrite il y a 25 ans. La combinaison d’approches géographique, moléculaire et clinique vise à dresser un tableau complet de la situation épidémiologique de cette maladie aux Seychelles en intégrant les réservoirs animaux, l’homme et l’environnement qu’ils occupent.La fragmentation de l’habitat et la proximité de ressources alimentaires apparaissent comme de bons prédicteurs d’infection chez les rats. Les analyses géo-spatiales permettent de mettre en évidence d’autres variables corrélées négativement (altitude ou distance à un point d’eau douce) ou positivement (niveau d’urbanisation, pluviométrie) au statut d’infection chez les rats. Ces résultats pourraient être pris en compte dans les politiques d’aménagement du territoire mises en place dans des buts de conservation des habitats ou de contrôle des rongeurs, afin de réduire l’exposition de l’homme à des pathogènes maintenus dans l’environnement par les rats. Si le niveau d’urbanisation est positivement corrélé avec le statut d’infection, ce patron pourrait au moins en partie résulter de la distribution des deux espèces Rattus norvegicus et Rattus rattus. En effet la première espèce, retrouvée essentiellement en milieu urbain, est nettement plus infectée que la deuxième que l’on retrouve partout sur l’île. Néanmoins, la comparaison des leptospires retrouvés chez les rats et chez les cas humains graves indique que les rats ne sont impliqués que dans un tiers des transmissions à l’homme, la majorité des cas humains étant causée par des leptospires dont le(s) réservoir(s) reste(nt) à identifier. Une incidence annuelle de 54,6 (95% IC 40,7-71,8) pour 100 000 habitants confirme l’importance médicale majeure de cette maladie dans le pays. La maladie touche très majoritairement les hommes (96%) et présente un taux de mortalité élevé (11,2%), essentiellement associé à des formes sévères (dysfonctions rénales et hépatiques, hémorragie pulmonaire). Les activités agricoles et le jardinage, la proximité d’élevages et de chats, une thrombocytopénie, une leucocytose, un taux de bilirubine élevé et des valeurs élevées aux tests de fonction rénale sont de bons prédicteurs de leptospirose. La distribution géographique des cas humains ne correspond pas à celle des districts hébergeant des populations de rats aux prévalences d’infection élevées, en cohérence avec un rôle restreint des rats dans la leptospirose humaine.La comparaison des données présentées ici avec celles publiées il y a 25 ans révèle un changement dans les comportements et les expositions, et montre qu’une meilleure prise en charge hospitalière a vraisemblablement contribué à faire diminuer la mortalité liée à la leptospirose, même si celle-ci reste élevée. Un faible niveau de connaissance de la maladie en population générale souligne l’importance de mettre en place des campagnes de sensibilisation. Les données produites dans le cadre de cette thèse stimulent la mise en place d’études complémentaires visant à mettre en évidence le(s) réservoir(s) complémentaire(s) et adapter les mesures de prévention pour limiter le fardeau que représente cette maladie aux Seychelles, aujourd’hui encore reconnue comme la maladie infectieuse causant le plus de décès dans le pays
Leptospirosis is an emerging neglected disease representing a heavy burden in the tropics, especially in tropical islands such as Seychelles, which record among the highest human incidence worldwide. This thesis aims at exploring the eco-epidemiology of leptospirosis in Seychelles by (i) using rats as markers of environmental exposure to Leptospira infection, (ii) describing the molecular epidemiology of the disease in humans and animals in a One Health framework, and (iii) identifying occupational and behavioural risk factors while comparing the current situation to that described 25 years ago. The combination of fine spatial distribution, molecular and clinical epidemiology complement each other in providing a comprehensive picture of the continuum involving reservoirs and human hosts within a shared environment.Habitat fragmentation and proximity to nutritional sources are found good predictors of Leptospira-laden Rattus spp. Geospatial analyses determined a selection of other important variable factors that are strongly correlated with Leptospira infection in Rattus spp., including altitude or distance to surface water (negative correlation), urbanization and heavy rainfall (positive correlation). Results of these analyses can guide policy makers and especially urban planners to best implement landscape structures for conservation or pest control goals leading to reduced exposure of humans to rat-borne diseases.Rattus norvegicus is found significantly more infected than Rattus rattus. Therefore, increased infection in urbanized/fragmented habitats may result at least in part from Rattus spp distribution, as R. norvegicus is mostly found in urban areas. Most importantly, genotyping of Leptospira in human acute cases and rats suggests that these rodents are involved in only a third of human acute infections, while most human cases originate from yet to be identified reservoir(s).An annual incidence of 54.6 (95% CI 40.7-71.8) per 100,000 confirms the major medical and public health importance of the disease in the country. The disease affects mainly men (96%) and displays a case fatality rate of 11.2%, mostly associated with severe forms (acute renal failure, hepatic failure and pulmonary haemorrhage). Farming and gardening related activities, proximity to cattle and cats, thrombocytopaenia, leukocytosis, elevated bilirubin and high values for renal function tests are predictors of leptospirosis. The geographical distribution of human cases poorly overlaps districts of high prevalence in rats in keeping with a restricted role of rats in human disease.The comparison of figures reported herein and in previous studies published 25 years ago reveals changes in behaviour and exposure, and shows that the development of health care has lowered the case fatality despite still high disease incidence in the country. A low level of knowledge on leptospirosis is reported, urging the need for implementing health education campaigns. Altogether, the data presented in this thesis strongly supports the implementation of a research program aiming at discovering alternative reservoir(s) to provide a full understanding of the epidemiological situation, which will allow fine tuning preventive measures for an efficient control of a disease that is still recognised as the infectious disease causing the highest mortality in the country

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to investigate stakeholder participation and learning in the Seychelles Eco-School programme within a primary school context and a secondary school context. Findings from each Eco-School have been presented in two case studies with the goal to explore and describe how teachers, students, parents and organizations are participating and learning in the Eco-School programme. Six elements of school community were used to deepen understanding of the participatory and learning processes in each Eco-School, namely, leadership, management and administration, curriculum planning, teaching and learning, resource use and management, management of physical surrounds of the school and networks and partnerships. Some of the contextual variables in each Eco-School that were constraining and enabling stakeholder participation and learning in the programme have also been explored within this study. Data in this study was generated from historical documents analysed, semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions and field notes. Data was also generated from questionnaires completed by organizations involved in the programme at each Eco- School. Data was analysed in two phases, the first phase involved reading across data generated from the methods mentioned above to organize the data under broad themes in relation to the elements of school community. The second phase of analysis involved the use of the conceptual framework of situating learning in a community of practice to interpret and discuss the participatory and learning processes across the two cases. The study showed that in each Eco-School there is a community of practice with the active involvement of teachers and students and the occasional involvement of parents and organizations. Students and adults are learning as they engage together in classroom and field-work interactions, environmental projects, environmental activities to commemorate environmental theme days, environmental campaigns and co-curricular activities through the practices of each Eco-School community. It was also discovered that students and adults are making different contributions in the Eco-School community based on their level of participation in the programme. It is hoped that the findings in this research contribute information regarding community participation in environmental education programmes like the Seychelles Eco-School programme. In addition, findings will inform the Seychelles Government and its partners to consider the possibility of enhancing school and community partnerships to respond to some of the challenges of participation and learning in the Eco-School programme.

Full text
Abstract:
Pratique musicale issue du contexte esclavagiste des îles Seychelles à partir de la fin du XVIIIe siècle, le moutya est à la fois un chant, une musique tambourinée et une danse. Cette pratique, presque absente sur le terrain, est nommée moutya otantik par les Seychellois. Les entretiens menés avec des travailleurs culturels et des musiciens ont permis de comprendre le concept de moutya otantik, né en parallèle avec celui de l’identité culturelle « créole seychelloise », s’avère une construction politique à la base de la Nation, suite au coup d’État qui a mené à la Révolution seychelloise, en 1977. Cette thèse examine d’abord une représentation d’un moutya otantik présentée par des travailleurs du ministère de la Culture. Elle s’oriente ensuite vers des pratiques qui se sont adaptées et renouvelées, principalement sur scène, lors d’événements officiels ou dans le milieu touristique, ou encore au sein de l’industrie musicale locale. Cette démarche permet d’aborder les processus de créolisation des musiques dites créoles, avec lesquelles le moutya partage des affinités évidentes, et de mettre ainsi le moutya en relation avec d’autres phénomènes culturels locaux et régionaux.Les nouveaux espaces de production et de diffusion sont ici observés par le biais d’études de cas basées sur des expériences individuelles et collectives, ainsi que sur des parcours d’artistes. Des analyses du matériau sonore et des performances musicales visent enfin l’élaboration d’une caractérisation du moutya et démontrent que ce dernier s’exprime aujourd’hui sous diverses formes, dans une interrelation dynamique avec différentes musiques. Dans cette optique, il doit nécessairement être abordé selon une conception élargie et complexe
Moutya is a musical practice born out of slavery in the Seychelles islands (Indian Ocean) from the end of the 18th century. It is made of singing, drumming and dancing. During our fieldwork, this practice, known as moutya otantik (authentic moutya) by the Seychellois, was hard to find, not to say absent. Interviews with cultural workers and musicians contributed to our understanding of the concept of moutya otantik born in parallel with the “creole Seychellois” cultural identity, as a political construction that served national purposes following the coup that led to the Seychelles Revolution in 1977. This dissertation first examines the representation of a moutya otantik as organized and presented by workers of the Ministry of Culture. It then looks at how moutya has been adapted and renewed when staged and recorded mainly during official events, at touristic venues or within the local music industry. This approach makes it possible to talk about the historical and dynamic processes of creolization that are inherent to creole music, with which moutya shares obvious affinities, and also to connect moutya with other local, regional and, more generally, Creole cultural phenomena. New production and presentation spaces are observed through case studies based on musicians’ individual and collective experiences. Analyses of sound material and musical performances attempt to better define moutya and show that it is now expressed in a diversity of forms and in a dynamic interrelation with different music. In this context, it must necessarily be approached in a broad and complex way

Abstract:
This thesis reports on an investigation into teacher commitment in secondary schools in Seychelles. The overarching aim was to gain an insight into the experiences and perceptions of teacher commitment in order to get a better understanding of teachers’ career trajectories and issues relating to teacher retention. Another aim was to explore the experiences and perceptions of the participating teachers, headteachers and policymakers on the factors that influence commitment and trajectories of secondary teachers at the different stages of their teaching careers. In order to achieve these aims a qualitative methodology was chosen with a combination of three different approaches: phenomenography, phenomenology and multiple case studies. The use of multiple-approaches was considered appropriate in order to enhance the results of the investigation of such a complex phenomenon like teacher commitment. The case studies focused on four teacher groups representing newly qualified teachers, mid-career teachers, experienced teachers and teachers who had left the profession. Data were sought from different participant groups in relation to teacher commitment, experiences and career trajectories. The exploration involved semi-structured interviews with secondary teachers, headteachers and policymakers. The findings show that participants describe teacher commitment in relation to altruism, personal qualities, pedagogical content knowledge and connectedness. The ideas of what constitutes a committed teacher for these participants reveal complexity in the phenomenon of teacher commitment. Personal, organisational and contextual factors are found to influence these participants’ understandings. The findings identify a complex interplay of personal and contextual spheres of influence on teacher commitment. Another level of complexity that the findings revealed relate to the interconnection between teacher commitment, teachers’ career stages and retention. The commitment of beginning teachers is found to be more at risk than that of mid-career and experienced teachers. Education stakeholders hold different views to those of teachers on the factors that impact on teacher commitment and retention. The study concludes by proposing a conceptual model for teacher commitment that illustrates its complex nature. Teacher commitment is multifaceted and the nature and level of commitment held by teachers involves the constant negotiation between these different factors. The findings of the study contribute to a nuanced understanding of teacher commitment and have the potential to generate more in-depth and extensive studies of this phenomenon. These findings may inform policymakers both in Seychelles and in other national and international contexts about issues relating to teacher recruitment, development and retention, which are worldwide concerns.

Abstract:
The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami which exported death and destruction to far distant shores, once more emphasized the tsunami hazards associated with transoceanic tsunamis. Historical records of tsunamis in the Makran subduction zone (MSZ) reveal that Makran tsunamis are capable of producing large waves in the far-field. The Makran tsunami of 1945 produced by an Mw8.1 earthquake was reported to cause far-field effects in the Indian Ocean and reached a height of about 30 cm in the Seychelles, at the distance of about 3500 km from the MSZ. Here, we assess historical observations of this event and perform numerical modeling of this tsunami with emphasis on its far-field effects. Our numerical modeling successfully reproduces most feathers of the historical observations including its far-field effects. Southward propagation of Makran large tsunamis is investigated and their possible effects on Maldives and Seychelles islands are discussed. This study will help to better understand tsunami hazard associated with the MSZ, especially its far-field hazard.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT We have reprocessed, re-imaged, and interpreted 10000+ km of legacy 2D seismic data in the Seychelles, particularly in the western part of the Plateau. Seychelles data have been difficult to image, particularly for the Mesozoic section: volcanics are a major attenuator of low frequency signal, and a hard water bottom contributes to signal problems. Enhanced low frequency techniques were applied to improve the signal fidelity in the 4 to 20 Hz range, and to remove spectral notches of shallow geologic origin. These efforts have allowed a reasonable view of the structure of the Plateau to a depth equivalent to about 3.5 sec TWT, and permit a comparison of areas atop the Plateau to the south coast where the three 1980's Amoco wells were drilled. It is clear that the main Plateau area of the Seychelles (excluding the outlying territories) is comprised of several separate basins, each with similar Karoo, Cretaceous, and Cenozoic sections that relate to the East African and West Indian conjugate margins, but the basins each have nuanced tectono-stratigraphic histories. The previously recognized Correira Basin in the SE and the East and West South Coast Basins face the African conjugate margin; other unimaged ones complete the periphery of the Plateau. The interior of the Plateau is dominated by the Silhouette Basin to the west of the main islands and the Mahé Basin to the east. The co astal basins have harsh tectono-thermal histories comparable to other continental margins around the world; they are typically characterized by stretching, subsidence and breakaway from their respective conjugate margins. In contrast the interior basins are comparable to ‘failed’ rift systems such as the North Sea or the Gulf of Suez. The South Coastal Basins, for example, tend to be more extended which complicated interpretation of the Amoco wells, but they have significant upside, as exemplified by the Beau Vallon structure. The interior basins, on the other hand, have typically simpler structure: the Silhouette Basin contains a system of NW-trending linked normal faults that could easily harbor North Sea-sized hydrocarbon traps with a variety of rift-related reservoir possibilities. Bright, reflective, hard volcanic horizons are less common than usually presumed, but most of the basins may contain considerable pyroclastic material in parts of the section. All of the basins appear to be predominantly oil prone, with considerable upside prospectivity.
