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 ...

Sensitive soils of the Puketoka Formation, Hamilton, New Zealand
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Sensitive soils are known to cause significant issues in the infrastructure and civil engineering industry, and are prone to sudden, oftentimes catastrophic failures following long periods of stability. The Walton Subgroup ... -
Effect of exposure on the erodibility of intertidal mudflats
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Sediments on intertidal flats are exposed during low tides. Under the effect of exposure, the water content of sediments decreases because of the evaporation process, which alters the erosive behaviour of cohesive sediments, ... -
Scratching the Hinuera Surface: Cryptic faulting in the late Quaternary alluvial plain, Te Tātua o Wairere Fault Zone
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Between c. 20,000 and 15,000 years BP, precursors to the modern Waikato River deposited alluvium of the Hinuera Formation throughout the Hamilton Basin – a c. 1,600 km2 terrestrial sedimentary basin in the centre-north of ... -
Site characterisation of the Hamilton Basin using surface wave methods
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Observed amplification and reverberation of ground motions in the Heathcote Valley during the 2010-2011 Canterbury Earthquake Sequence highlighted the lack of data on the subsurface velocity structure of sedimentary basins ... -
The Fault in our Hill: Characterisation of the Rangitawa Tephra, and insight into tectonic influences at Hillcrest Road
(The University of Waikato, 2020)This study aimed to identify deformation and characterise the Rangitawa Tephra in terms of geomechanical and geochemical properties, and relate these properties to the deformation potential/activity. It was hypothesised ...
