Modelling Time Dependent Transient Deformation in New Zealand
Most organisations who maintain regional terrestrial reference frames base their realisations on the global International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRS) that uses space based positioning techniques (e.g. GNSS, ITRF, ... -
Consequence of 2012 Mw 8.6 Northern Sumatra Earthquakes towards Sundaland Plate
The impact of postseismic decay has been concerned mostly with the edge of plate boundaries. But great earthquakes (larger than M8.0) can cause widespread postseismic decay in areas well beyond any recognised plate boundaries. ... -
Towards a Modernized Geodetic Datum for Nepal: Options for Developing an Accurate Terrestrial Reference Frame Following the April 25, 2015 Mw7.8 Gorkha Earthquake
Along with the damage to buildings and infrastructure, the April 25, 2015 Mw7.8 Gorkha earthquake caused significant deformation over a large area of eastern Nepal with displacements of over 2 m recorded in the vicinity ... -
Positioning in Active Deformation Zones Implications for NetworkRTK and GNSS Processing Engines
New Zealand’s actively deforming landscape results in both gradual and imperceptible deformation to instantaneous block shifts. The geophysical processes that cause the deformation include the tectonic plate motion (slow, ... -
Cooking with Gas: Māori and the coming energy transition
This paper presents an Indigenous and Māori perspective about the need for urgent energy transitions by examining three areas: • Climate change transition, which I define as an energy transition to a largely non-fossil-fuel ... -

Gait stability during shod and barefoot walking and running on a treadmill assessed by correlation entropy
This study tests correlation entropy, 𝐾2, as a measure of stability for gait analysis. An average of 13 strides from 10 participants in each combination of one footwear (barefoot vs shod) condition and one gait mode ... -
Legal and Jurisprudential Aspects of Mandatory 'Environmental Literacy' Programmes in Tertiary Education
There is a significant and growing body of literature that considers how Universities might act as a catalyst in fostering sustainability from the perspectives of management and administration, promoting research into ... -
