The genomic footprint of coastal earthquake uplift
(Royal Society, 2020)Theory suggests that catastrophic earth-history events can drive rapid biological evolution, but empirical evidence for such processes is scarce. Destructive geological events such as earthquakes can represent large-scale ... -
Genotypic variation among Gammarus fasciatus (Crustacea: Amphipoda) from the Great Lakes - St. Lawrence River: implications for the conservation of widespread freshwater invertebrates
(NRC Canada, 2000)We examined the population genetic structure of the amphipod Gammarus fasciatus (Crustacea: Amphipoda) over two years from a total of 11 sites within the Great Lakes - St. Lawrence River system using allozyme electrophoresis. ... -
Genre, academic writing and e-learning: An integrated tertiary level Taiwan-based study
(The University of Waikato, 2010)The research reported here has two main focus points: online learning and the teaching of academic writing to learners of English as an additional language. At its core is a study involving an intensive genre-centered ... -
Geochemical zones and environmental gradients for soils from the central Transantarctic Mountains, Antarctica
(European Geosciences Union, 2021)Previous studies have established links between biodiversity and soil geochemistry in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, where environmental gradients are important determinants of soil biodiversity. However, these ... -
Geochemical, Spatial, and Temporal Drivers of Microbial Community Heterogeneity in the Meltwater Ponds of Antarctica
(University of Waikato, 2015)Antarctic meltwater ponds are an abundant, dynamic and sensitive yet poorly understood ecosystem. In this thesis, bacterial communities from surface waters, the water column and benthic zone in geochemically variable ... -
Geochemically defined space-for-time transects successfully capture microbial dynamics along lacustrine chronosequences in a polar desert
(Frontiers Media SA, 2022)The space-for-time substitution approach provides a valuable empirical assessment to infer temporal effects of disturbance from spatial gradients. Applied to predict the response of different ecosystems under current climate ... -
Geodesic Geometry of Black Holes
(The University of Waikato, 2006)The study of geodesics is of intrinsic significance in the study of the geometry of space-time. In this thesis null, space-like and time-like geodesics are studied in the case of the space-times of Schwarzschild, ... -
Geodesic geometry of some static axisymmetric vacuum spacetimes
(The University of Waikato, 2003)Solutions of Laplace's equation in terms of bispherical and toroidal coordinates are used to derive new exact exterior (vacuum), general relativistic fields, of static axially symmetric spacetimes. For each new metric ... -
A Geografia Mais Íntima: O Corpo
(Todapalavre Editora, 2023)El cuerpo como lugar, se centra en la geografía del cuerpo como un lugar colonizado, moldeado por el poder pero, que a su vez, ofrece resistencia. Es un espacio socialmente construido donde se toma al cuer-po como lugar, ... -
Geographical and ethnic differences of osteoarthritis-associated hip and knee replacement surgeries in New Zealand: a population-based cross-sectional study
(BMJ, 2019)Objectives To (1) explore the regional and ethnic differences in rates of publicly funded osteoarthritis-associated hip and knee replacement surgeries and (2) investigate the mortality after surgery. Design Population-based, ... -
Geographical education in New Zealand during the last decade
(Taylor & Francis, 2003)The restructuring of the national economy of New Zealand in the last decade of the 20th century left its mark on education generally, with some quite specific consequences for geographical education in the secondary sector. ... -
Geographies that matter: Pregnant bodies in public places
(University of Waikato, 1996)This thesis has two objectives. First, I argue that there exists a dichotomy between mind and body and that the mind (rationality and masculinity) is privileged over the body (irrationality and femininity). This dichotomy ... -
Geography and gender: feminist geography - a 'critical' time?
(Arnold, 2002-08-01)The recent growth in critical geography suggests this may be a ‘critical’ time for raising issues about the intersections between feminist and critical geography. This is not the first time these issues have been aired. ... -
Geography in New Zealand 2008-2012
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)Every four years the International Geographical Union (IGU) requests a National Report from Member Countries. The text below is a version of the submission made on behalf of New Zealand Geography in August 2012. The issues ... -
A Geography of Marine Farming Rights in New Zealand: Some Rubbings of Patterns on the Face of the Sea
(The University of Waikato, 2002)Sustainable development of global marine resources has been the focus of various United Nations' agencies and coastal nations since World War II. As capture fisheries resources have come under pressure and perhaps reached ... -
Geological imprint of methane seepage on the seabed and biota of the convergent Hikurangi Margin, New Zealand: Box core and grab carbonate results
(Elsevier, 2010)Short box cores (to 30 cm bsf) and seafloor carbonate grab samples were acquired at mapped hydrocarbon seep sites (600–1200 m water depths) during the 2007 RV SONNE SO191 cruise on the Hikurangi Margin offshore eastern ... -

Geological structure of the forearc basin in central Hawke’s Bay, eastern North Island
(Ministry of Economic Development, 2006)Central Hawke’s Bay lies within an extensive forearc basin in eastern North Island that developed during the Late Miocene to Pleistocene. The onshore structural elements of Hawke’s Bay can be classified into four structural ... -
Geological subsidence and sinking islands: the case of Manono (Samoa)
(Wiley, 2016)W.R. Dickinson, as part of his wide study of the geological history of the Pacific islands, has linked the unique case of the deeply submerged Lapita site of Mulifanua in western Upolu (Samoa) to the slow subsidence of ... -
Geological, hydrodynamic and biogeochemical variability of a New Zealand deep-water methane cold seep during an integrated three-year time-series study
(Elsevier, 2010)Cold seeps are widely distributed on active and passive margins and display considerable temporal variability in terms of gas and fluid expulsion rates and volume, over scales of hours to days. To constrain this variability, ...
