  abstract = {{T}he tropical climate and human pressures (mining industry, forest fires) cause significant sediment inputs into the {N}ew {C}aledonia lagoon and are a major cause of degradation of the fringing reefs. {T}he erosion process is spatially characterized on the west coast of {N}ew {C}aledonia to assess potential sediment inputs in the marine area. {T}his paper describes the methodologies that are used to map soil sensitivity to erosion using remote sensing and a geographic information system tool. {A} cognitive approach, multi-criteria evaluation model and {U}niversal {S}oil {L}oss {E}quation are implemented. {T}his article compares the relevance of each model in order to spatialize and quantify potential erosion at catchment basin scale. {T}hese types of studies provide valuable results for focusing on areas subject to erosion and serve as a decision-making tool for the minimization of lagoon vulnerability to the natural and human dynamics on the level of the catchment basins.},
