35,000 years of hydrological variability in northern New Zealand from speleothem magnetism
(2018)Speleothem magnetism is the study of the origin and geo-enviromagnetic significance of magnetic minerals in speleothems. Allogenic magnetic particles are transported to speleothem sites from soils and sediments by hydrological ... -
Aqueous copper bioavailability linked to shipwreck-contaminated reef sediments
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)Pollution from the grounding or sinking of ships can have long lasting effects on the recovery and dynamics of coastal ecosystems. Research on the impact of copper (Cu) pollution from the 2011 MV Rena shipwreck at the ... -
Assessing acid rain and climate effects on the temporal variation of dissolved organic matter in the unsaturated zone of a karstic system from southern China
(Elsevier, 2018)Acid rain has the potential to significantly impact the quantity and quality of dissolved organic matter (DOM) leached from soil to groundwater. Yet, to date, the effects of acid rain have not been investigated in karstic ... -
Cadmium accumulation in three contrasting New Zealand soils with the same phosphate fertilizer history
(Elsevier, 2016)Cadmium (Cd) concentration in New Zealand (NZ) agricultural soils has increased due to phosphate fertilizer application, but it is not clear whether soils with different properties accumulate Cd at similar rates for given ... -
Cadmium mobilisation by dissolved organic matter in contaminated soils amended with compost and peat
(2019)Some organic matter (OM) soil amendments derived from biowaste have been shown to reduce plant uptake of Cd, which presents them as an attractive option for mitigating potential health risks on some contaminated soils. ...

Response and resilience of estuarine benthic ecosystems to anthropogenic pressures
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Human activities are altering coastal environments at local and global scales with largely unknown consequences. Catchment land-use changes increase the rates of delivery of fine sediments and nutrients to estuaries, ... -
Novel approaches for modelling changes in phytoplankton diversity and lake ecosystem function
(The University of Waikato, 2019)Ecosystem function represents the collective outcome of many different processes. Function may be interrupted by events that originate from outside a system, influencing biological diversity dynamics. Difficulties in ... -
Passive in-situ estrogenic potency sampling with DGT-YES
(The University of Waikato, 2019)The purpose of this research was to investigate the presence of bisphenolic plastics and synthetic estrogens in municipal water systems, as well as along the Waikato River. The concentration of these compounds was assessed ... -
In situ measurement of metal-ligand complex dissociation rates in cave dripwaters
(The University of Waikato, 2019)The purpose of this study was to develop a new method for determining the trace metal binding properties of natural organic matter (NOM) in cave dripwaters. The methodology is based on the diffusive gradients in the ... -
Biogeochemical Characterisation of an Alum Dosed Stream: Implications for Phosphate Cycling in Lake Rotoehu
(The University of Waikato, 2017)Lakes are highly valued freshwater ecosystems which provide many goods and services upon which humans are reliant. Eutrophication of waterways, driven by the over-enrichment of nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen, ...
