Notocene stratigraphy of the Fletcher Creek and Inangahua Junction areas, North Westland
In the Inangahua and Fletcher Creek areas, North Westland, Greenland Group greywackes and argillites, into which the Tuhua Group granitic rocks have intruded, are unconformably overlain by lower Tertiary to lower Pleistocene ...
Geophysical survey of the Paringa River valley, South Westland
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 ...
Global relative paleointensity and regional paleosecular variation: High resolution signals in New Zealand marine sediments
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 ...
Linking Shallow and Deep Features on the Shelf East and West of Stewart Island
The sedimentary basins that have developed to the east and west of Stewart Island are linked through similar tectonic and depositional processes during their formation. The sediment supply and tectonic rifting phases are ...
GIS as a mine rehabilitation tool: examples from Wangaloa Coal Mine
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 ...
Greensand at the Marshall Paraconformity
The Oligocene was a time of major tectonic development in the Southern Ocean. The final break-up of Gondwana was underway leading to the opening of the Drake Passage and Tasman Gateway allowing the development of the ...
The Alpine Fault Zone Along the Waitangi-taona River, West Coast, New Zealand
The Alpine Fault, the main onshore structure in the Pacfic-Australian plate boundary, runs along the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand, where it accommodates ~70% of the relative plate motion. The fault ...
Investigation of Fluid Migration Pathways in the Shallow Subsurface of the Great South Basin, through the use of High-Resolution Seismic Imaging of Fault and Fracture Systems
The Great South Basin is one of New Zealand's largest undeveloped offshore basins and is known to have significant oil and gas prospects. The Great South Basin lies offshore from the coast of Southland and South Otago, and ...
Structural setting and paragenesis of the mineralised veins in the Waipori goldfield, southeast Otago, New Zealand
The Waipori goldfield was discovered in 1861 on the southeast side of the Otago Schist belt in the area surrounding Lake Mahinerangi. Accurate historical records are not available but it is estimated the goldfield produced ...
