The Amplification of Tsunamis by Mercury Bay, New Zealand
(University of Waikato, 2012)The east coast of New Zealand is exposed to tsunami hazards, which are generated by both distant and near tsunamigenic sources. The impact of tsunami varies along the coast depending on the source region and the amount of ... -
An Integrated Stratigraphy of Tauranga Harbour
(University of Waikato, 2016)Tauranga Basin is a Quaternary basin filled with successions of terrestrial and coastal sediments. The largest feature of Tauranga Basin is Tauranga Harbour, a 570km2 estuary. This is home to the Port of Tauranga, New ... -
Analysis of multibeam sonar data for benthic habitat characterization of the Port of Tauranga, New Zealand.
(University of Waikato, 2012)Tauranga Harbour is a mesotidal lagoon located within the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, and is subject to an ongoing maintenance dredging program to remove mud deposits coming from various sources in the catchment. At the ... -
Anthropogenic Influences on the Sedimentary Evolution of the Coromandel Harbour
(University of Waikato, 2016)The Coromandel Harbour is located on the eastern side of the Coromandel Peninsula, North Island, New Zealand. To date, sedimentological research conducted in the harbour has been confined to nearshore areas, with limited ... -
Assessment of the potential interactions of an oil spill with sediments on the west coast of New Zealand
(University of Waikato, 2016)There are limited data available on the interaction of spilt oil and sediment commonly found on New Zealand beaches and the data available have been obtained for intermediate state east coast beaches. The west coast of New ... -
Catastrophic Tsunamis In the Indonesian Archipelago
(University of Waikato, 2010)Tsunamis are not rare events for the Indonesian Archipelago as a consequence of four major plate boundaries that meet and collide, and producing highly active seismic zone that is mostly located under the sea. The ‘tsunami ... -
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 ... -
Coastal erosion and sedimentation of Pukehina Beach and Waihi Estuary
(The University of Waikato, 2002)The Pukehina coastal sector is subject to severe frontal dune erosion. This has led to concern from local residents who reside in frontal houses. Accordingly, this investigation was initiated to assess the sedimentary and ... -
Coastal Storm Activity along the Eastern North Island of New Zealand - East Cape to Wellington
(University of Waikato, 2010)Coastal storm activity for the eastern North Island, between East Cape and Wellington, has been quantified from a meteorological perspective through the use of cyclone tracks and extreme winds and from an oceanographic ... -
Determining potential for pollutant impacts in dynamic coastal waters: comparing morphological settings
(University of Waikato, 2012)The coastal focus and beach culture of Australia’s population in general, and the people of New South Wales in particular, mean that coastal systems are both highly prized and subjected to great pressures. The vast majority ... -
Distribution of mine waste along the Waihou River flood plains
(The University of Waikato, 2019)Solid waste production, in the form of mine tailings, is the result of mining of natural mineral resources. The Ohinemuri River tributary of the Waihou River was designated as an official sludge channel during the period ... -
Dredge spoil dispersion from an inner shelf dump-mound
(The University of Waikato, 1989)A study was undertaken on the dispersion of dredge spoil from a dump-mound on the inner shelf in 11-17 m water depth, 3 km offshore from Tauranga Harbour, New Zealand. Graphic and volumetric analysis of bathymetric changes ... -
Ecological effects of turbidity variations in and around dredging areas in the Port of Tauranga
(The University of Waikato, 2018)Turbidity is the scattering of light in water bodies and is an important measurement for assessing water quality in coastal systems. Suspended particles in the water column can greatly impact on light penetration and ... -
Estimating patterns and rates of coastal cliff retreat around Tauranga Harbour
(University of Waikato, 2015)Cliffs are common around the shores of Tauranga Harbour, including in the urban areas. The existence of cliffs indicates a potential hazard to people living close to the cliff edge, as they imply both a tendency for the ... -
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) ... -
Historical tsunami database for New Zealand
(University of Waikato, 1998)New Zealand has suffered relatively few tsunamis compared to many countries around or within the Pacific rim, but has experienced over 30 tsunamis during the last 177 years. The larger events occurred prior to the time ... -
Holocene Evolution of the Upper Western Channel within Tauranga Harbour
(University of Waikato, 2016)The Tauranga Harbour is a mesotidal lagoon that is actively infilling with sediment. The southern basin of the harbour is important from both ecological and socio-economic standpoints. An understanding of sediment dynamics ... -
Human,climatic and oceanographic influences on the marine environment of Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia
(The University of Waikato, 2010)Coral reefs and marine resources are culturally, as well as economically, vital to Pohnpei, situated in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). Farming and fishing are the main sources of livelihood for most Pohnpeian ... -
