Full textThe aerial evolution of Tahiti-Nui tropical Island begins with the construction of a primitive shield-volcano (mean eruptive rate about 2km3̂/ka). Since the early stages of edification, magmas have been concentrated through a main E-W to N110 rift zone. About 870 ka ago, a change in the nature of the lavas through under-saturated viscous terms is responsible for the destabilization of the northern and southern shield flanks by landslide processes. The deposits generated by the northern collapse extend up to 50 km to the North of Tahiti. Their volume is estimated around 800 km3̂. The post-collapse activity has been suddenly concentrated within the northern depression, burying it in less than 100 kyr (minimum eruptive rate of 3 km3̂/ka). However, the later activity has been less and less productive (0. 5 km3̂/ka on the period 750 ka -450 ka) and more and more alkaline, indicating a continuous decrease through time in the rate of partial melting. The end of the shield-building stage is marked by a differentiated ignimbritic event, triggered by a basic re-injection of magma in a shallow reservoir, 502±7 ka ago. The intense erosion of the volcanic structure has been clearly influenced by the existence of the geological discontinuities, whereas the effect of the differential pluviometry is not so sensitive. The intrusions of the rift-zone and the contact between the two nested volcanic structures have conditioned the dissection, yielding polyphased development of the major valleys, which are characterized by the presence of torrential brecciated units and valley-filling flows presently topographically inverted. The chemical and isotopic study of rainfall, springs and river water from the northern half of Tahiti-Nui indicates a main infiltration at great altitudes, at the level of the late columnar volcanic flows. The dykes from the western rim of the northern depression then connect the underground circulations, as evidenced by the homogeneous character of the springs

Full textA soil engineering mapping is drawn from the correlation of the mechanical property of soils with hydrogeological, topographical and climatic factors. Three hazard areas and three instability degrees are defined according to the ground motions. The volcanic activity of Tahiti has done in two stages: ante and post-caldeira. Three tephrostratigraphic phases between 3,0 MA and 1,5 MA are distinguish in ante-caldeira cycle. The geological study reveals the first outcrops of tahitites on Tahiti-Nui Island, associated with the activity of a parasitic cone. Petrographic and geochemical studies define two magmatic suites: - an ante caldeira suite evolves from picritics rocks (association olivine + pyroxene) to tahitites (plagioclase + hauyne). The under-saturation rise according to the differentiation, with crystallization of feldspathoides (hauyne) in tahitites. The presence and role of mantellic xenocrysts of olivine and spinel are also proved. – A post-caldeira suite, here restricted to picritics rocks (costal area) is distinguished by its strong under-saturation. These sodic alkalines rocks are evolved by fractional crystallization. Based on the mineralogic data, an interpretation of the ante-caldeira suite as evolving by fractional crystallization of olivine, pyroxene (titaniferous), titanomagnetite then plagioclase is proposed. Amphibole resorption controls the magmatic differentiation to tahitites. Thermobarometric conditions of crystallization are estimated from mineralogical equilibria. Ante-caldeira suite has evolved under low oxygen fugacities (.

Full textTahiti between Land, Sea and Power’ details how power is wielded on a speck of land amidst a mastered ocean. Comparative and transdisciplinary, the dissertation focuses on the period going from English arrival to French Protectorate, when the main aspects of contemporary Polynesian society took shape. The civilisational upheaval involved forces us to redefine how religion and sacredness faced the challenge of alterity and universality, space and time, unicity and diversity. The quest for central power is the driving force imposing its dynamics to the whole system. Texts and images serve a ‘third eye involved ‘ approach

Full textThe main objective of this PhD thesis is to obtain a better understanding of the erosion processes acting on the Tahiti Island. Firstly, we model the formation and evolution of the Tahiti valley knickpoints with a new set of parameters for their stream power law. Our numerical results are in total agreement with the observations: parallel retreat type, increase of the knickpoint height with the retreat distance from the outlet, initiation after a sea level fall just after the end of active volcanism. Secondly, we compare on five watersheds the results from an empirical modeling (USLE) and from a physical modeling (APERO) of the erosion processes to the experimental data coming from radionuclides datation (cosmogenic 3He) and from suspended sediment measurements in river streams. We demonstrate that landslides and bed erosion are the main sources of sediments and that bed load is the dominant transport mode for short and steep rivers. Finally, we demonstrate that the areas susceptible to be eroded on Tahiti are located on steep and bare slopes as well as on knickpoint locations and that vegetation is essential to protect land against sheet and rill erosion

Full textLinguistic and ethnologic analyses of the 404 names of lands recorded in the land register of the distric of Faa'a in 1852, and then in 1888 and 1889, allow us to grasp land representations in ancient Tahitian society. Their classification shows an equal presence of natural and cultural elements in the making of these land names. On the other hand, those lands are mostly located on the littoral, wich is, the affluent area above all else. Although some mountains are linked with chieftainship, the inner land of a district remains a land for times of food shortage, a place of safety and of war strongholds. As well as for the dry lands, lagoons, passes and reefs are also private property. Some toponyms refer to old spatial Polynesian concepts or show the importance of family lineages ('äti), of the 'arioi brotherhood and of such activities as tapa making or the waging of wars

Full textThe great tourism development of small tropical islands has threatened their sustainability. For developed countries, Tahiti is a myth and Tahitian tourism doesn't use island patrimony (natural, social or cultural) except artificial beaches and lagoon beauty. A major problem is inadequate understanding of tourism dynamics and the absence of simple integrated measures of tourism's pervasive economic, social and environmental impacts. This work presents the framework in which Tahitian tourism develops, its characteristics and it porposes a space analysis method to evaluate its impacts. This method is applicable superficially with only one indicator to each element in the system (environmental, economical and social) or to go deeper into study with a lot of indicators to each element. This methodology must allow an integrated tourism management with others island activities and an sustainable tourism destination
