  • The Archaeology of Lapita Dispersal in Oceania
    The archaeology of Lapita dispersal in Oceania pers from the Fourth Lapita Conference, June 2000, Canberra, Australia / Terra Australis reports the results of archaeological and related research within the south and east of Asia, though mainly Australia, New Guinea and Island Melanesia — lands that remained terra australis incognita to generations of prehistorians. Its subject is the settlement of the diverse environments in this isolated quarter of the globe by peoples who have maintained their discrete and traditional ways of life into the recent recorded or remembered past and at times into the observable present. Since the beginning of the series, the basic colour on the spine and cover has distinguished the regional distribution of topics, as follows: ochre for Australia, green for New Guinea, red for Southeast Asia and blue for the Pacific islands. From 2001, issues with a gold spine will include conference proceedings, edited papers, and monographs which in topic or desired format do not fit easily within the original arrangements. All volumes are numbered within the same series. List of volumes in Terra Australis Volume 1: Burrill Lake and Currarong: coastal sites in southern New South Wales. R.J. Lampert (1971) Volume 2: Ol Tumbuna: archaeological excavations in the eastern central Highlands, Papua New Guinea. J.P. White (1972) Volume 3: New Guinea Stone Age Trade: the geography and ecology of traffic in the interior. I. Hughes (1977) Volume 4: Recent Prehistory in Southeast Papua. B.

  • (Wallis), Futuna and Alofi Islands (South-West Pacific): an Update
    30 Notornis, 2015, Vol. 62: 30-37 0029-4470 © The Ornithological Society of New Zealand Inc. Birds of Uvea (Wallis), Futuna and Alofi islands (South-West Pacific): an update Jean-Claude ThIbaulT* Muséum National d’histoire Naturelle, département Systématique et evolution, 55 rue buffon, 75005 Paris, France Alice CIbois department of Mammalogy and Ornithology, Natural history Museum of Geneva, CP 6434, 1211 Geneva 6, Switzerland Jean-YveS MeYer délégation à la recherche, Gouvernement de la Polynésie française, b.P. 20981 Tahiti, Polynésie Française Abstract Alofi, Futuna and Uvea (also called Wallis), 3 islands situated north of Fiji and Tonga archipelagos, are rarely visited by ornithologists. We present new data on the avifauna obtained during surveys in 2014 and we compare them with previous surveys made in the 1920s, 1980s and 1990s. We recorded the extirpation of 1 species (friendly ground- dove, Alopecoenas stairi) probably related to predation, and the decline of another (lesser shrikebill, Clytorhynchus vitiensis) linked to deforestation. Although the recent arrival of the black rat (Rattus rattus) in Futuna is a potential threat for the blue-crowned lorikeet (Vini australis), no decline is apparent at the present time. In general, most landbirds seemed common despite loss of native habitats and hunting pressure; similarly, the seabird populations and number of species appeared stable, a situation probably linked with the general decrease of harvesting. Finally, 2 breeding species (spotless crake, Zapornia tabuensis, and tropical shearwater, Puffinus bailloni) and 3 vagrants (white-faced heron, Egretta novaehollandiae, masked lapwing, Vanellus miles, and pectoral sandpiper, Calidris melanotos) are added to the list.

  • GCCA: PSIS) Project Final Record of Second Planning and Steering Committee Meeting 3-5 December 2012
    Global Climate Change Alliance: Pacific Small Island States (GCCA: PSIS) project Final Record of Second Planning and Steering Committee Meeting 3-5 December 2012 3rd December 2012 Introductions and Background Participants were welcomed to the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) and the Second Planning and Steering Committee Meeting of the Global Climate Change Alliance: Pacific Small Island States (GCCA: PSIS) project by Ms. Patricia Sachs-Cornish, Acting Director, Strategic Engagement and Policy Planning Facility, SPC. Since the first Steering Committee Meeting in May, significant progress has been made with the project. Some highlights include: Five countries have determined their focus for a climate change adaptation project and have had project Concept Notes approved, and two of those countries, Cook Islands and Tonga, are already advancing detailed project design. Seven of the nine countries have signed a letter of agreement with SPC endorsing project arrangements and financial procedures. 14 country missions have been undertaken to advance project planning. Arrangements are underway with several countries to recruit national coordinators. Five requests for mainstreaming climate change into specific sectors have been received. In collaboration with other SPC Divisions and SPREP, three regional/sub-regional training activities have been conducted and three national training activities, in areas covering climate change finance, media training, Climate Change Portal training and JNAP planning (Joint National Action Plan for Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Management). In October an external evaluation of the project using Results Oriented Monitoring (ROM) was conducted by the European Union (EU). Specific recommendations included revision of the project’s log frame and the preparation of a risk management strategy and an exit strategy.

  • Annual Report 2014
    UNIVERSITY OF GUAM UNIBETSEDÅT GUAHAN Society of Emeritus Professors & Retired Scholars The Society’s Eighteenth Annual Report (2014) Compiled by Cynthia B. Sajnovsky, Professor Emerita of Music, Secretary, SEPRS UOG SEPRS An Overview of the Society’s Eighteenth Annual Report (2014) I want to highlight the vitality that members of the Society of Emeritus Professors and Retired Scholars (SEPRS) have shown in numerous academic, research, and service activities. For many of the UOG community – but not all – their awareness of professors emeriti and retired scholars is “out of sight, out of mind.” Yet this report demonstrates how retired faculty continue to help the University achieve its mission for our community and the region. You can locate specific faculty which are listed alphabetically, and in- time we plan to insert a “search-link” function so you can easily click on a name. SEPRS has 53 current members, of whom half live on Guam (26) and half live off-island across the nation (27). Some of us show the affects of our age, yet3/4ths (38) are active members who participate in the Society’s quarterly meetings, donate to the University, or at least report their activities. In 2014, using IT teleconferencing video technology, we have had five (5) off-island members regularly join and participate in the Society’s quarterly meetings held in Emeritus Hall on-island. So what do these retirees do? Well nearly one-third of the members listed in this report are teaching and mentoring university students. For example at UOG that includes Filomena Contoria, George Kallingal, Lourdes Klitzke, and Milagros Moguel, and off-island take a look at Joyce McCauley.
