The Paringa River valley runs perpendicular to the Alpine Fault, the dominant structural feature of the South Island, New Zealand. Previous geological mapping has contributed much to the understanding of South Westland ...

This thesis examines the geochemistry of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in urban stormwater. The manner in which PAHs partition between the particulate, colloidal and truly dissolved phases is likely to affect ...

Advancement in understanding paleosecular variation and its driving mechanisms is hindered by the current paucity of paleomagnetic records from the Southern Hemisphere. To date, the record from New Zealand is limited, and ...

At the Wangaloa Coal Mine, South-East Otago, ArcGIS is being used to manage, integrate, analyse and visualise the diverse range of datasets being generated from an interdisciplinary research team. GIS will assist with ...

This talk will address the problem of determining the semi-rigid motion of an ice floe from a series of grayscale images of the floe. The analysis will start with the global properties of the images. The next step is to ...

Dengue fever, and especially the life-threatening form - DHF is an infectious mosquitoborne disease that places a heavy burden on public health systems in Malaysia as well as on most of the tropical countries around the ...

Rakiura Māori continue a centuries old harvest of titi chicks (sooty shearwater, Puffinus griseus) which is governed primarily by Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK). The sustainability of titi harvesting is of high ...

Prevailing theory suggests that many parasite species have evolved in tight congruence with their hosts, with the parasite phylogeny mirroring that of the host. This theory is based largely on studies of host-parasite ...

The bottlenose dolphins of Fiordland, New Zealand, live at the southern limit of the species’ worldwide range. They are exposed to impacts from tourism and habitat modification, particularly in Doubtful Sound, and their ...

New Zealand's lignicolous pyrenomycete flora has been little studied. The cosmopolitan Lasiosphaeriaceae, largest and least studied family in the Sordariales, has long been noted for its morphological diversity and the ...
