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 ...

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 ... -
Causes of diurnal ground movements at Omokoroa, New Zealand
(University of Waikato, 2017)This study investigated processes acting on the Bramley Drive Landslide, located on the Omokoroa Peninsula. The landslide, first failed in 1979, and has become an important field site for assessing the processes affecting ... -
Failure mechanisms in sensitive volcanic soils in the Tauranga Region, New Zealand
(University of Waikato, 2016)Sensitive soils derived from weathered pyroclastic materials have contributed to major landslides in the Bay of Plenty. Sensitive soils have a high ratio of peak to remoulded undrained strength. While it is known that (a) ... -
The Effects of Benthic Organisms on Intertidal Sediment Erodibility
(University of Waikato, 2015)On intertidal sandflats, the dispersal of juvenile organisms can rely on bedload transport, a critical process during small-scale disturbance recovery. The erosion of surface sediments is also vital to benthic-pelagic ...
