  • 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.

  • (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.

  • Cultural and Socioeconomic Determinants of Energy
    Natural Resources Forum 38 (2014) 27–46 DOI: 10.1111/1477-8947.12030 Cultural and socio-economic determinants of energy consumption on small remote islands Manfred Lenzen, Murukesan Krishnapillai, Deveraux Talagi, Jodie Quintal, Denise Quintal, Ron Grant, Simpson Abraham, Cindy Ehmes and Joy Murray Abstract In this cross-country analysis of four small and remote islands, we integrate multiple dimensions of socio-economic demographic data, such as population, land area, remoteness, tourist arrivals and earnings, export earnings, financial support, average incomes, fuel and electricity prices, penetration of renewable energy sources, and motor vehicle usage; we compare these characteristics with per capita use of energy carriers such as electricity, petrol and diesel. From these characteristics, we identify key determinants of energy consumption in the islands. Whereas we focus on energy, our analysis also applies to emissions of carbon and energy-related pollutants. Our results indicate that cultural and social contexts are at least as relevant for policymaking as economic and technological aspects. We suggest that in small island developing States there is scope for policymaking to at the same time: reduce economic vulnerability due to dependence on imported fossil fuels; reduce environmental impact; and progress sustainable development. Such progress can be implemented through peer-to-peer learning programmes facilitated by targeted international cooperation and partnerships. Keywords: Energy determinants; energy consumption; small remote
