Abstract:
Aquatic eutrophication is a serious global problem, associated with phytoplankton blooms, hypoxia, and loss of species. The objective of this thesis was to advance understanding of stream and lake eutrophication within Canterbury (South Island, New Zealand). I investigated three key questions: 1) How do riparian characteristics control stream trophic state, 2) how does stream trophic state in the Canterbury region compare to stream trophic state nationally and internationally, and 3) what factors control trophic state in Te Wairewa/Lake Forsyth. I measured rates of stream community metabolism

The first chapter looks at the issue of class definition and identity, and perceptions of the social topography of the mid-Victorian period.

The basic goal of this thesis is to contribute to the knowledge of aspects of the waterfowl resource in North Canterbury, New Zealand for the purpose of improving its management. Every year in North Canterbury, seven species of waterfowl are subjected to a recreational and cultural hunt. In order to actively manage their populations to achieve a balance between differing user groups (e.g. hunters, birdwatchers, farmers), two things must be known: 1. The hunter's preferences and impacts. 2. Ecology of the target species. To address the first issue, a questionnaire was sent to area hunters (S

During the Holocene, the position of the Ashley River mouth has varied between 8km south and 6.5km north of Waikuku. Northward migration of the river mouth is a recurring process indicated by two major phases of migration since European settlement: 1900-1923 (when the river mouth reached its northern limit); and 1979-1991. The pre-1923 migration phase was terminated by a major flood event of the Ashley River. Historical mouth migration rates exceed 200m per year. Survey results for the past 12 months indicate that the mouth migrated 150.6m. It is apparent that the rate of migration is lower th

Invertebrate community composition appeared to be influenced by two overriding factors; the physical condition of the stream, and the amount of anthropogenic development within the catchment.

Abstract:
The mixed sand and gravel barrier beaches located on the South Island's East Coast are formed predominantly of Greywacke, eroded from the mountains, and transported via the major river systems. These barriers act as the interface between the South Pacific Ocean and the surrounding hinterland. In times of high energy coastal events, breaching is common. This thesis examines the form and function of the Waihao-Wainono barrier, a section of the coastline situated north of the Waitaki River. Breaches along this part of the barrier are frequent and several have rendered the surrounding farmland unu

Abstract:
This thesis explores how the University of Canterbury has responded to the Tertiary Education Strategy's (2002-2007) concerns vis-à-vis declining Maori participation and unsatisfactory rates of retention and completion in mainstream universities. This research is based on the qualitative method of in-depth taped interviews with twenty-five participants enrolled as 'Maori' at Canterbury in 2004. Notwithstanding increased recognition of biculturalism at Canterbury, issues relating to entrenched monoculturalism identified by Grennell (1990), Clothier (2000) and Phillips (2003) appear to be largel

Abstract:
For the people of Christchurch and its wider environs of Canterbury in New Zealand, the 4th of September 2010 earthquake and the subsequent aftershocks were daunting. To then experience a more deadly earthquake five months later on the 22nd of February 2011 was, for the majority, overwhelming. A total of 185 people were killed and the earthquake and continuing aftershocks caused widespread damage to properties, especially in the central city and eastern suburbs. A growing body of literature consistently documents the negative impact of experiencing natural disasters on existing psychological d

Abstract:
Cashmere Forest is currently a production forest comprised of mostly radiata pine (c.85%), Douglas fir (c.5%) and some non plantation areas. The Port Hills Park Trust Board (PHPTB) is interested in purchasing Cashmere Forest for the purpose of creating a public forest park environment where forestry, indigenous biodiversity, recreation and the environment are goals of sustainable management. For this purpose this draft forest management (DFM) plan has been prepared. The preparation of the Cashmere DFM plan comprised three main components: 1.

Abstract:
This study contains an evaluation of the seismic hazard associated with the Springbank Fault, a blind structure discovered in 1998 close to Christchurch. The assessment of the seismic hazard is approached as a deterministic process in which it is necessary to establish: 1) fault characteristics; 2) the maximum earthquake that the fault is capable of producing and 3) ground motions estimations. Due to the blind nature of the fault, conventional techniques used to establish the basic fault characteristics for seismic hazard assessments could not be applied. Alternative methods are used includin
