Abstract:

The study area comprises an area of about 40 km2 and includes the township of Diamond Harbour located on the sourthern side of Lyttelton Harbour. The area is broken up into two valley systems (Orton Bradley and Purau Valleys) separated by a gently northward dipping slope known as the Diamond Harbour ‘Dip-slope’. Pressure on a water reticulation pipeline due for repair or replacement, combined with an increasing population) formed the basis for this investigation. It was hoped that local groundwater resources could at least supplement the domestic supply coming from Lyttelton. Drill hole and g

Abstract:

Akaroa County, which is situated on the eroded remnant of the basaltic Akaroa Volcano, is developing as a tourist and recreational area, with consequent increasing demands on water supplies. Improved utilisation of the springwater resource of the area is a possible solution to these demands and this thesis develops hydrogeological models for the springs to assist in their future management. Methods used in this study include detailed hydrogeological mapping of two specific areas, isotope and chemical analyses of springwater, and spring discharge monitoring over a one year period.

Abstract:

This thesis project has examined the moisture dependency of shear strength in the loess soils of Banks Peninsula. These dominant silt materials are generally regarded as having an angle of internal friction between 25 and 30°, and cohesion of zero, when the soil is saturated. However, soil behaviour in terms of slope stability would appear to support a cohesion value higher than zero as vertical cliffs of loess can be seen to stand indefinitely. It is agreed that loess soils upon saturation do show very low shear strengths, but these soils rarely become saturated due to their low permeability

Abstract:

New Zealand's first Marine Mammal Sanctuary was established around Banks Peninsula in 1988, to protect Hector's dolphins from entanglement in gillnets. Understanding distribution and movements of Hector's dolphins inhabiting Banks Peninsula has important implications for their effective management. The need to assess the effectiveness of restricting gillnetting also underscores the need for ongoing estimates of the size of the Banks Peninsula Hector's dolphin population. I analysed spatial and temporal movements of distinctive Hector's dolphins identified around Banks Peninsula. A substantial

Abstract:

Clematis vitalba, introduced to New Zealand from Europe in the early 1900s, is an invasive weed which poses a high risk to native forest remnants, particularly in the central North Island and upper and central South Island. Its dispersal techniques and rate of spread make it a particular challenge for managers attempting to control its range expansion. Is the population abundance and distribution of C. vitalba on Banks Peninsula seed or microsite limited? I tested the presence of seed limitation in three populations of C. vitalba at two sites by measuring seed dispersal and checking for the pr

Abstract:

Cinder cones are common on Banks Peninsula and this study concentrates on eleven sites situated on the Lyttelton Volcano. The study focuses on the structure, petrology and geochemistry of cinder cones and discusses their eruptive history. Lyttelton volcanism began in the Miocene (10.8 Ma) with early (L1) activity centred near "Head of the Bay". Constant replenishment of the main chamber caused L1 lavas to be dominantly basaltic with limited differentiation. The development of a large cone resulted in distension which caused the development of horizontally fed radial dikes. Initial dike activi

Laboratory and in situ strength testing shows that both C and P layer loess in a partially saturated state displays a significant reduction in undrained shear strength with increasing degree of saturation. Strength reduction can be attributed to reduced pore water tension due to capillary suction which results from an increased degree of saturation.

Abstract:

Sense of place is an important dimension in many people's lives. Through long residence in a region a person tends to become attached to that place, expressing both territoriality and affection for it. Bonding to a place is largely subconscious, however. If a person gains perspective by being distant from his or her place, a greater awareness of place bonds can build upon his or her sense of place, making it even stronger. Cultural influences can also build a sense of place, especially among indigenous people. Previous sense of place research has seldom been empirically based, and has tended

Field mapping has shown that the lavas and pyroclastics of which Akaroa Volcano is constructed can be grouped into an Early Phase and a Main Phase.

The removal of indigenous forest and associated fragmentation of habitats has probably had significant impacts on the diversity of stream communities in New Zealand. In this study I investigated the effects of forest fragmentation on stream invertebrate communities on Banks Peninsula. Six catchments were investigated, three with continuous indigenous forest in the riparian zone and three with fragmented indigenous riparian forest.

Abstract:

The Lyttelton Volcanic Complex, north-western Banks Peninsula, New Zealand, is comprised of five overlapping volcanic cones. Two magma systems are postulated to have fed Banks Peninsula’s basaltic intraplate volcanism, with simultaneous volcanism occurring in both the north-western and south-eastern regions of Banks Peninsula, to form Lyttelton and Akaroa Volcanic Complexes respectively. The elongate form of Banks Peninsula is postulated to relate to the upward constraining of magmatism in a north-west / south-east fault bounded zone. The Lyttelton Volcanic Complex resulted from the developmen

Abstract:

Although species maintenance in small forest fragments relies on successful regeneration and recruitment, few studies have examined the effects of fragmentation on regeneration processes. New Zealand's podocarp species rely on large disturbance openings operating across a vegetated landscape to stimulate regeneration. Clearance of vegetation that results in small fragments of forest removes regeneration opportunities for podocarps by destroying the intact vegetation mosaic, and as a result may exclude disturbances of the scale necessary for podocarp regeneration. Fragmentation alters the distu

Abstract:

In the Kaituna Vally an intensive change in land use has produced an increased demand for water, particularly groundwater. The present study was undertaken in order to provide an adequate data base to develop appropriate water management strategies for the Kaituna Valley and other similar catchments in the area. Shrinkage fractures within lava flows control the vertical movement of water whilst horizontal water flow occurs mainly within brecciated lava. Chemical and environmental water analysis indicate that local precipitation through volcanic fractures is the main mechanism for groundwater

We have built on previous research to produce detailed maps and stratigraphic logs of key extrusive and intrusive sequences.

Abstract:

Based on field-mapping and geochemistry of lavas outcropping between the two stratovolcanic centres of Lyttelton and Akaroa, a new Miocene volcanic stratigraphy for central Banks Peninsula has been established. Five lithologically and geochemically distinct phases of volcanism are recognised. These are the Lyttelton Volcanics (11 – 10 Ma), Mt Herbert Volcanics (9. 7 - 8.0 Ma), Akaroa Volcanic s (9.0 - 8.0 Ma). Church Volcanics (8.1 - 7.3 Ma) and Stoddart Volcanics (7.0 - 5.8 Ma).

Results indicate that changes in synoptic flow pattern have a very significant impact on rainfall and temperature trends.

Abstract:

The efficacy of a Marine Protected Area (MPA) is contingent on it having a design appropriate for the species it is intended to protect. Hector�s dolphin (Cephalorhynchus hectori), a coastal delphinid endemic to New Zealand, is endangered due to bycatch in gillnets. Analyses of survival rate and population viability suggest that the Banks Peninsula population is most likely still declining despite the presence of the Banks Peninsula Marine Mammal Sanctuary (BPMMS), where gillnetting is regulated.

The origin of compositional gaps in volcanic deposits remains controversial. In Akaroa Volcano (9.6 to 8.6 Ma), New Zealand, a dramatic compositional gap exists between basaltic and trachytic magmas. Previously, the formation of more evolved magmas has been ascribed to crustal melting. However, the interpretation of new major and trace element analysis from minerals and bulk-rocks coupled with the mechanics of crystal-liquid separation offers an alternative explanation that alleviates the thermal restrictions required for crustal melting models.
