An ashy septingentenarian: the Kaharoa tephra turns 700 (with notes on its volcanological, archaeological, and historical importance)
(2014)Most of us are aware of the basaltic Tarawera eruption on 10th June 1886: the high toll on life (~120 people), landscape devastation, and loss of the Pink and White Terraces. But this was not the first time that Mt Tarawera ... -
Book review: The Colli Albani volcano
(Springer-Verlag, 2012)This article reviews the book: “Adventure education: An introduction”, edited by M, Berry & C. Hodgson. -
Faulting within the Hamilton Basin: Recent Progress
(2017)This presentation is an overview of the results since 2015 of our research into active faulting within the Hamilton Basin. The presentation includes the results of: Ongoing reviews of existing data, particularly fromg ... -
Lake-floor sediment texture and composition of a hydrothermally-active, volcanic lake, Lake Rotomahana
(Elsevier, 2016)Young volcanic lakes undergo a transition from rapid, post-eruptive accumulation of volcaniclastic sediment to slower pelagic settling under stable lake conditions, and may also be influenced by sublacustrine hydrothermal ... -
Vegetation dieback as a proxy for temperature within a wet pyroclastic density current: A novel experiment and observations from the 6th of August 2012 Tongariro eruption
(Elsevier, 2014)The 6th of August 2012 eruption of Te Maari (Mt Tongariro, New Zealand) generated wet pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) which caused widespread dieback of vegetation (singed, brown foliage) in their path. An absence of ...

Initial sedimentation processes and the early geological evolution of three maar craters, Hindon Maar Complex, Otago
(The University of Waikato, 2018)The Hindon Maar Complex, located near Hindon, 25 km NW of Dunedin, consists of four volcanic craters infilled by lake sediments and mass flow deposits. The maars form part of the Waipiata volcanic group, which was active ... -
Volcanic Geology of Maungatautari: An Andesitic-Dacitic Composite Cone, Central Waikato, New Zealand
(The University of Waikato, 2017)Maungatautari is an extinct andesitic-dacitic composite cone volcano, situated 35 km southeast of Hamilton, that rises prominently in the Waikato region. A single radiometric age of 1.8 Ma, indicates volcanic activity here ... -
Volcanology of the basaltic lava succession within the Auckland pit of the Bombay Quarry, Bombay Volcanic Complex, South Auckland Volcanic Field
(University of Waikato, 2016)The South Auckland Volcanic Field (SAVF), which was active 1.59 – 0.51 million years ago and comprises around 82 volcanic centres, represents a complete history of a monogenetic field preserved in the geological record. ... -
Andesite volcanic facies and hydrothermal alteration in the subsurface peripheral to existing Waihi mine workings
(University of Waikato, 2015)The Waihi vein system is an andesite-hosted epithermal Au-Ag deposit comprising a series of veins located in the southern Hauraki Goldfield, New Zealand. It includes the Martha Mine which is the largest gold producer in ... -
Developing groundwater and surface water interaction methods for complex hydrological systems
(University of Waikato, 2016)Methods and models associated with the interaction of surface-subsurface water flow have been widely employed in many environmental studies over the last decade. However, in spite of considerable effort, understanding the ...
