organisation profile
- The Center of Noumea created in August 1946 with the name of French Institute of Oceania (IFO) to become Centre ORSTOM in 1964 and Centre IRD at the end of 1998.
In2000, two poles of research constitute the strong points of research in New Caledonia: environment and living resources. The work concerns climatic variability associated with the phenomenon El Niño in the tropical Pacific. Marine and littoral ecosystems are studied on several levels: role of biology and effect of the environment on deep-sea and littoral exploitable resources. The activities in geosciences relate to the mineral resources, the natural risks and the paleoclimatology. In the field of the terrestrial
environments, New Caledonia presents an exceptional character by the variety of its grounds, the water resources and the biodiversity (very strong endemicity of fauna and flora). The studies of botany (ecology of the New Caledonian flora), of agropedology (evolution of the
cultivated grounds), of phytopathology and entomology (diseases of the plants and biological invasions), microbiology (symbiosis plants micro-organisms) continue. The program "Natural Substances with Biological Interest" aims to discover the active substances of organisms resulting from local and regional biodiversity of marine and terrestrial fields. The valorization of this work is ensured by the intermediary of a scientific grouping.
