(Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013)The NZGeoid2009 is currently the official quasigeoid model of New Zealand. It was computed to unify 13 separate local vertical datums (LVDs) in New Zealand. This study intends primarily to compute an improved gravimetric ... -
(Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012)Introduced predator mammals have caused significant impact on New Zealand’s native species, typical of the global phenomenon of biodiversity loss caused by biological invasions. Introduced predators need to find the required ...

(Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012)This study aims to alert people to the possible loss of their photographic heritage through changes arising from the shift to digital technologies for capture, storage and production of images. Although the emphasis is on ... -
(Thesis, Master of Science, 2012)In civil engineering the precise definition of the subsurface is crucial to ensure the safety and durability of structures that are built on the surface or even underground. This region is highly uncertain and engineering ...

(Thesis, Master of Science, 2011)Since the later part of the 19th Century, tide gauge records indicate that global sea levels have risen with an average rate of 1.7 ± 0.3 mm/yr. Satellite altimetry records indicate that the rate of sea level rise between ... -
(Thesis, Master of Surveying, 2011)The concept of shared spaces is gaining popularity around the world as an innovative approach to streetscape design. Shared spaces are streets which have very little separation between road users; meaning pedestrians, ... -
(Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010)Because New Zealand relies heavily on water for electricity generation, it requires strong and reliable information about its water supplies as well as better knowledge about the processes that affect them. Situated in the ... -
Rebel rivers : an investigation into the river rights of indigenous people of Canada and New Zealand (Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008)In Canada and New Zealand there are increasing calls for recognition of aboriginal rights which previously were ignored or denied because of the application of English law to concepts of property rights and ownership. ...

(Conference or Workshop Item (Keynote/plenary), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)The first comprehensive analysis of long-term sea level change in New Zealand was completed in 1990. That analysis revealed an average rise in sea levels around the New Zealand coastline of 1.7 mm/yr since 1900. A more ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)The paper discusses a recent test of using High Definition (HD) video camera to obtain aerial mapping images for coastal zone study. Real-Time GPS was used to capture the ground control. It was revealed that the vibration ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)The assessment of the performance of multi-resolution image fusion, or image sharpening methods, is difficult. In the context of binary classification of snow targets in mountainous terrain, fusion methods were applied to ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 18th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2006: Interactions and Spatial Processes), 2006)This presentation discusses and demonstrates ways in which modern technology, specifically Web-based GIS (augmented by low-tech data gathering strategies), and a web page based on local meetings of fishermen and other ... -
(Dissertation, Bachelor of Surveying with Honours, 2006)Pitcairn Island is a unique case study where the traditional method of land administration is about to be radically changed by the implementation of a new tenure system. The 2000 Land Tenure Reform Ordinance intends to ...

(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 17th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2005: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2005)Dengue fever, and especially the life-threatening form - DHF is an infectious mosquitoborne disease that places a heavy burden on public health systems in Malaysia as well as on most of the tropical countries around the ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 17th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2005: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2005)The complexity of land transportation systems nowadays requires an appropriate way of modelling and representing its related transportation features for ease of storage, retrieval, analysis and decision making. Transportation ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 17th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2005: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2005)Science has provided marvellous descriptions of the Foveaux Strait and of the creatures and ecosystems that it contains, but this has not been enough to prevent a tragedy in Bluff. The tragedy is the loss of the Bluff ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 17th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2005: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2005)The paper discusses the evaluation of a video image-splitting device for human motion research. NuView, a commonly available device and a digital video camera (DV) were used to capture stereo-video footage of athletes in ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 17th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2005: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2005)The management of vegetated areas by urban planners relies on detailed and updated knowledge of their nature and distribution. Manual photo-interpretation of aerial photographs is efficient, but is time consuming. Image ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 16th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2004: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2004)Low-cost, medium-resolution and hand-held digital cameras with near-infrared (NIR) capability are now readily available. The NIR spectrum (700 to 925 nanometers) is a tiny part of the overall electro-magnetic spectrum. ...
