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 ...
