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 ...

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 ... -
Weathering of basalt: geotechnical & geochemical aspects
(The University of Waikato, 2002)Geochemical influences on the geotechnical parameters of weathered Karamu Basalt are determined and the likely processes involved in basalt weathering are investigated. Geochemical and geotechnical parameters of basalt at ... -
Determination of optimum moisture content and degradation of shear strength over time for Hamilton ash materials
(The University of Waikato, 2019)Hamilton Ash is one of the widely used materials in earthwork projects throughout the Waikato region. Regardless of its frequent and widespread usage, limited research has been undertaken regarding its geotechnical properties. ... -
Seismic hazard in the Taupo - Reporoa Region
(The University of Waikato, 1995)New Zealand lies astride a convergent plate margin, as a result it experiences hundreds of earthquakes a year. This study was commissioned in response to Environment Waikato's contingency planning for such natural ... -
Stream sediment sources: A comparison between a native forest catchment and a mixed-use pine and pasture catchment in the Waikato Region of New Zealand
(The University of Waikato, 2019)Sediment entering streams and rivers is a global concern for water quality. Suspended sediment can reduce visual clarity, light penetration, and amenity values of water. Transported sediment can also smother benthic fauna ...
