New Caledonia lies astride the Tropic of Capricorn, between 19° and 23° south latitude, 1,200 km east of Australia and 1,500 km northeast of New Zealand. The climate of the islands is tropical , and rainfall is highly seasonal, brought by trade winds that usually come from the east.
The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (2021) included projections that by 2100 global warming is very likely to reach 1.0–1.8 °C under a scenario with very low emissions of greenhouse gases, 2.1–3.5 °C under an intermediate emissions scenario, or 3.3–5.7 °C under a very high emissions scenario. [89]
Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) are climate change scenarios of projected socioeconomic global changes up to 2100 as defined in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report on climate change in 2021. [2] They are used to derive greenhouse gas emissions scenarios with different climate policies.
Fig.1 A simplified geological map of New Caledonia with a cross-section, modified by Xu and Liu (2019) [1] The geology of New Caledonia includes all major rock types (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic), which here range in age from ~290 million years old (Ma) to recent. [2] Their formation is driven by alternate plate collisions and rifting ...
