Sediment Dispersion at the New Auckland Marine Disposal Ground, Northeast New Zealand
(University of Waikato, 2012)A controversial history of near shore dredged material disposal east of Auckland, New Zealand, starting in the mid-1980s, resulted in the use of a temporary deep water site that did not satisfy the requirements of the ... -
The Sediment Dynamics of Ahuriri Estuary, Napier, New Zealand
(The University of Waikato, 2009)Ahuriri Estuary is a shallow, microtidal estuary located in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. Sediment transport pathways and areas of potential erosion and accretion of Ahuriri Estuary are identified to enhance the understanding ... -
Shoreline Variation and Beach Rotation of Pauanui Beach
(University of Waikato, 2012)Shoreline variation over short, medium and long term time scales is well studied and documented. Rotation studies however have only focused on the phenomenon occurring on embayed beaches. This type morphological change is ... -
Small-scale turbulence and its influence on forest-scale morphodynamics within a coastal mangrove forest
(The University of Waikato, 2019)Mangroves are coastal wetland ecosystems consisting of salt-tolerant trees and shrubs that inhabit the upper intertidal zone of estuaries, river banks and barrier islands. These trees grow in the intersection between the ... -
Storm Surges in Tauranga Harbour
(The University of Waikato, 2018)Understanding the potential elevation of extreme sea-levels at the coast is important for management of hazards, and adaptation to climate change. This poses challenges for coastlines around the globe, with current pressure ... -
The change in the horizontal position of the dune toe and vegetation line on beaches within the Waikato Region
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Beaches are highly variable landscapes that are constantly changing in response to a range of climatic variables. For example, local wind can cause the movement of sand across the beach and accretion, whilst storms that ... -
The control of wind and waves on sediment transport asymmetry and the long-term morphological development of estuaries
(University of Waikato, 2016)Most theories on the equilibrium shape of estuarine basins highlight the dominance of tidal asymmetry in controlling the hydrodynamic and morphodynamic feedbacks that ultimately lead to a stable morphological state. This ... -
The ecological implications of reconstructed historic hydrodynamic conditions in Tauranga Harbour (1852-2006).
(The University of Waikato, 2021)In order to manage, restore and mitigate the increasing anthropogenic impacts on estuarine systems in the future, it is useful to understand the magnitude and distribution of historic changes in environmental conditions ... -
The Impact of Dredging on the Stability of Matakana Banks Ebb-Tidal Delta
(University of Waikato, 2016)The Matakana Banks ebb-tidal delta is located offshore from the Tauranga Entrance to Tauranga Harbour, Bay of Plenty New Zealand. In order to access the Port of Tauranga, Matakana Banks has been dredged to provide a shipping ... -
The interaction of buoyant river plumes with vegetation and consequences for sediment transport and deposition in coastal regions
(The University of Waikato, 2023)Mangrove forests are one of the most prominent vegetated coastal habits in tropical and subtropical areas. These wetland ecosystems typically inhabit estuaries and tidally influenced river banks. The presence of trees helps ... -
The morphology and surf conditions of Aramoana Beach, Otago: A surf break of national significance
(The University of Waikato, 2018)Aramoana Beach is a recognised surf break of regional and national significance and is protected under the New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement (2010). Until recently, little baseline data on the break had been collected. ... -
The role of the deposit feeding bivalve Macomona liliana in a simple biophysical model for predicting estuarine ecosystem tipping points
(The University of Waikato, 2022)Estuaries are highly productive, coastal marine environments that provide vital ecosystem functions supporting human health. Throughout history, many major settlements have been established adjacent to estuaries, so to ... -
Transport and retention of benthic marine invertebrates in the Southern Tauranga Basin
(The University of Waikato, 2018)Dispersal is the process in which individuals are transferred between populations, and is essential for population sustainability and longevity. In estuarine soft sediment communities, dispersal often occurs as the interaction ... -
Understanding the potential exposure of coastal marae and urupā in Aotearoa New Zealand to sea level rise
(The University of Waikato, 2021)In Aotearoa New Zealand, Māori are Indigenous and have inhabited these islands for the past 700 years. They have an intricate physical and spiritual connection to places and the environment. This is reflected in the Māori ...
