Abstract
Gillot at al. (2004) question the conclusions of Clément et al. (2002) about the occurrence of a recent debris avalanche event in Tahiti Nui volcano, together with their interpretation of the central depression of the island as the scar of a huge landslide. We show in this reply that this latter process is the only one capable of forming such a “horseshoe-shaped” depression. In addition, the brecciated deposits which cover the flat floor of this structure cannot be generated through another mechanism, such as fluviatile erosion.
