This dissertation investigates the stratigraphic development of Poverty Shelf, including event layer preservation, over the last ∼14ka using geochemical proxies and physical properties analyses of the sedimentary record. The work herein was conducted under the auspices of the MARGINS Source-to-Sink ...

This thesis contributes to the knowledge of the mobilisation and transport pathways of landslide debris on a shore platform. Two experiments were undertaken at Waiake Bay on Auckland's North Shore to collect measurements of current flow characteristics and of tracer ...

This thesis discusses the construction and application of a suite of numerical models that describe tectonic and geothermal processes occurring within the Taupo Volcanic Zone (TVZ) of New Zealand’s Central North Island. The TVZ is an active rift characterised by ...

Adjacent to Lake Roe on the western flanks of the Merrie Range, South Central Fiordland, are two suites of glacial moraines that reflect the history of deglaciation during the Late Glacial and Holocene.

Geochemical analyses of melts erupted in small basaltic volcanic fields have the power to reveal particulars of their magmatic system from the inception of melting, to the processes that affect magmas on their ascent. The Auckland Volcanic Field (AVF) of ...

In 2005 the stream sections to the south west of Matata, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, were affected by large debris flows after a significant storm. These debris flows caused the exposure of excellent cliff outcrops of marine and non-marine ...

The Mangatete sinter, located ~20 km south of Rotorua, is centred on two quarries cut into the footwall of the Whirinaki Fault. The studied quarries, and surrounding 2km x 1.5km region, exhibit evidence of widespread, vigorous, geothermal activity from ~18ka ...
