Burial and degradation of Rena oil within coastal sediments of the Bay of Plenty
(Royal Society of New Zealand, 2016)During the Rena oil spill, no data existed for New Zealand conditions on the likely depth of burial and the expected degradation of oil deposited on sandy beaches. Sediment cores were taken from 12 locations along the Bay ... -
Comparison of bivariate and multivariate statistical approaches in landslide susceptibility mapping at a regional scale
(Elsevier, 2012)Landslide susceptibility assessment was undertaken for the Waikato Region, New Zealand. Landslide inventory data were extracted from a pre-existing database that included few landslides in the region (1.4% of area), and ... -
Discovery of halloysite books in a ~270,000 year-old buried tephra deposit in northern New Zealand
(ACMS, 2010-08-07)As part of a wider study examining the geomechanical properties, especially sensitivity, of sequences of Quaternary pyroclastic and associated deposits and buried soils in the landslide-prone western Bay of Plenty area ... -
Discovery of halloysite books in altered silicic Quaternary tephras, northern New Zealand
(Mineralogical Society of Great Britain and Ireland, 2016-10-11)Hydrated halloysite was discovered in books, a morphology previously associated exclusively with kaolinite. From ~1.5 μm to ~1500 μm in length, the books showed significantly greater mean Fe contents (Fe2O3 = 5.2 wt%) than ... -
Distribution of silty sediments in the shallow subsurface of the shipping channels of Tauranga Harbour
(Environmental Research Institute, Faculty of Science and Engineering, The University of Waikato, 2014-12-10)Capital dredging in 1992 encountered some areas of siltier sediments that resulted in the formation of a highly visible plume. Subsequently multibeam and diver observations indicated that there are further areas of sediments ...

A preliminary evaluation of tectonic geomorphological signals within the Hamilton Basin
(The University of Waikato, 2017)Over the past year several fault traces have been discovered within the Hamilton Basin, prompting a need for further investigation for tectonic evidence in the basin in order to re asses seismic hazards of the basin. ... -
Is there a salty solution to sensitive soil sliding in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand?
(The University of Waikato, 2017)Found globally, sensitive soils are widely regarded as a key cause of slope instability. These sensitive soils often contribute to the production of large retrogressive landslides that pose significant danger to a people ... -

Hamilton's Hidden Hazard: Characterisation of Two Fault Zones in Northern Hamilton
(The University of Waikato, 2017)The Hamilton Basin has long been thought of as an area of simple geologic structure with two major faults recognised to the west and east of the Basin; the Waipa and Kerepehi Faults. However, recent identification of ... -
Evaluating soil and landscape models to predict liquefaction susceptibility in the Hinuera Formation, Hamilton Basin
(The University of Waikato, 2017)The Hinuera Formation, being an extensive alluvial deposit throughout the Hamilton Basin plains, has been identified by Kleyburg (2015) as being susceptible to liquefaction. As much of the infrastructure of the Hamilton ...
