Greenland group deformation and the structural controls of mineralisation within the Reefton Goldfield
Deposits of the Reefton Goldfield, West Coast, New Zealand, are hosted on N-NE striking, upright folds of the Greenland Group. High-grade quartz lodes are hosted on axial planar shears, typically have short strike lengths, ...
Foraging strategies and breeding success in the Little Penguin, Eudyptula minor : a comparative study between different habitats
Little Penguins breeding at different locations in New Zealand exhibit great differences in breeding success which is likely to be related to different foraging strategies. During the 2000/2001 breeding season, foraging ...
Transition metal complexes of pyrazine-based bis-terdentate diamide ligands
The four symmetrical, closely related pyrazine-based bis-terdentate diamide ligands N,N'-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxamide (H2 LM1), N,N'-bis[2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxamide (H2 LM2), ...
Marine ecology of offshore and inshore foraging penguins : the Snares penguin Eudyptes robustus and Yellow-eyed penguin Megadyptes antipodes

Social organisation, behaviour and population parameters of Bottlenose Dolphins in Doubtful Sound, Fiordland
Bottlenose dolphins in Doubtful Sound represent a unique opportunity for a relatively longterm study of wild, known individuals near the southern extent of their worldwide range, and unaffected by incidental mortality. In ...
Development of an odour mixture model for cheese flavour
This research set out to examine the feasibility of developing a mathematical model that would allow the prediction of the sensory characteristics of mixtures of odour compounds.
Initially, a trained sensory panel used ...

The geochemical environment during rehabilitation of the Wangaloa opencast coal mine, Southeast Otago, New Zealand
This study investigates the geochemistry of the Wangaloa opencast mine during the early stages of its rehabilitation. New Zealand's coal industry is currently growing, and with increasing pressure from an environmentally ...
Able as anything : integrated dance in New Zealand
This thesis investigates integrated dance with a specific focus on New Zealand. The first chapter gives a review of the different models of disability. In chapter two I will discuss various theoretical perspectives on ...
Patterns of aggression in New Zealand children
