Slow slip events (SSEs) accommodate a significant proportion of tectonic plate motion at subduction zones, yet little is known about the faults that actually host them. The shallow depth (<2 km) well-documented SSEs Hikurangi zone offshore New Zealand offers unique opportunity to link geophysical imaging with direct access incoming material represents megathrust fault rocks hosting slow slip. Two recent International Ocean Discovery Program Expeditions sampled this before it entrained...
We report on the design and implementation of ecological monitoring for an Australian biodiversity conservation incentive scheme – Environmental Stewardship Program. The Program uses competitive auctions to contract individual land managers up 15 years conserve matters National Significance (with initial priority nationally threatened communities). was explicitly aligned with Program's policy objective desired outcomes applied Project which targeted critically endangered White Box-Yellow...
A fossil flora from the basal Chatton Formation at Cosy Dell farm near Waimumu, Southland, New Zealand comprises wood, seeds, pollen and spores. Late Oligocene age (25.4–24.4 Ma) determined macro- nannofossils constrains beginning of marine transgression in this area. The palynoflora more than 100 taxa, addition to a few spores recycled underlying Jurassic Murihiku basement. At least 16 ferns are present. Conifers include Araucariaceae Podocarpaceae (Dacrydium, Dacrycarpus, Lagarostrobos,...
Abstract Lakes are becoming degraded at an accelerating rate owing to human activity, and understanding their past ecology is necessary for lake management rehabilitation. Palaeolimnology provides numerous methods that enable the historical state of lakes be determined. New Zealand ideal setting in which do this as modification landscape occurred later here than most regions world (approx. 1300 CE). Lake Oporoa a shallow highly significant local indigenous Māori community. This study used...
ABSTRACT: We have integrated southern mid- and high-latitude (Austral) radiolarian biozonations with the well-established low-latitude (Tropical) biozonation using new biostratigraphic magnetostratigraphic constraints on bioevents in Southwest (SW) Pacific, Southeast (SE) Indian Northwest (NW) Atlantic Oceans. Our primary study sites include Mead Stream, New Zealand, DSDP Sites 277 207 (SW Pacific; 45-54 degrees South at 50 Ma), ODP Site 752 IODP U1514 (SE Indian; U1403 (NW Atlantic; 30...
AbstractPressures on lakes in Aotearoa New Zealand are increasing due to elevated catchment nutrient loads, establishment of non-native species, and climate change. Current government legislation requires that pressures managed avoid eutrophication degradation lake health. This approach information the state at regional national scales, which is challenging as less than 5% currently monitored. In this study, we (1) modelled trophic status a scale using highly representative dataset...
Dicyclopsodites leei gen. et sp. nov. is described from New Zealand sediments close to the Oligocene–Miocene boundary. Its botanical affinity deemed be within family Apocynaceae with links southeast Asia where taxa pollen of similar morphology exist today.
