  abstract = {{W}e investigated surface carbonate sediments at 33 sites on the outer shelf and slope around {N}ew {C}aledonia (163°-167°{E}, 20°-23°{S}), at water depths of 75-720m. {F}our carbonate sedimentary facies are recognized on the basis of sediment size fractions and predominant constituents: {F}acies 1, encrusted grains (rhodoliths and macroids), bryozoa, and benthic foraminifera; {F}acies 2, bryozoa, benthic foraminifera, and mud; {F}acies 3, plankton and mud; and {F}acies 4, ahermatypic corals. {F}acies distributions were constrained primarily by water depth, and secondarily by local seafloor geomorphology that, in some areas, allows transport of sediments to deeper water. {B}ecause the dominant facies ({F}acies 1 and 3), as well as lagoon and basin facies, are distributed worldwide at similar latitudes, facies around {N}ew {C}aledonia can be considered as representative of carbonate sedimentary facies distributed in tropical-subtropical regions.},
