Reception at very large distances of monochromatic Rayleigh wave of the 2018–2019 Mayotte crisis: attenuation factor of Ms magnitude by Talandier, Jacques

“…Similar perfectly monochromatic signals but with much lower intensities were previously observed in 2011, 2013 and 2017 from the Rocard submarine volcano (Society hot spot, French Polynesia). The VLPs of Mayotte and Rocard are the only signals of this type observed so far. …”

Compaction and pore-collapse of chalky limestones from Mururoa atoll by Aubry, Jérôme, Bollinger, Laurent, Schubnel, Alexandre, Deldicque, Damien, Fortin, Jérôme

“…Between 1975 and 1996, the Centre d’Expérimentation du Pacifique (CEP) carried out French underground nuclear tests under the atoll of Mururoa (French Polynesia). The deformation of its coral rim was extensively monitored in order to assess the stability of the outer slopes, in particular since a flank collapsed in 1979, triggering a landslide-generated tsunami. …”

Molecular study of the status of Angiostrongylus cantonensis in rats in Haiti by Fedna Jimmy, Borne Romain, Rieffel Dominique, Bornette Gudrun, Henrys Jean-Hugues, Grenouillet Frédéric, Raoul Francis

“…Only one COX1 haplotype was identified, belonging to genotype II-G, widely distributed in Brazil, the French Antilles (Guadeloupe), French Polynesia, Hawaii, and Japan. These results confirm that A. cantonensis is an endemic parasite in Haiti not only in the capital Port-au-Prince, but also in several rural areas. …”
