Paleomagnetic records of the last two million years of climate and oceanographic change in the New Zealand sector of the South Pacific

Nelson, Faye Elizabeth (Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2011)

A high standing oceanic island in the mid-latitudes of the South Pacific, New Zealand is well situated to record far-field effects of global climate change. A 1.8 Ma paleomagnetic and environmental magnetic record from the ...
Magma injection dynamics in the shallow Ferrar LIP (South Victoria Land, Antarctica)

Airoldi, Giulia Maria (Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2011)

Solidified remnants of major magma pathways, and localized clusters of smaller intrusive sheets, are exposed in the mountains of South Victoria Land, Antarctica. Together the intrusions represent the shallowest 2 km of the ...
The Alpine Fault Zone Along the Waitangi-taona River, West Coast, New Zealand

Easterbrook-Clarke, Luke Hayhoe (Thesis, Master of Science, 2011)

The Alpine Fault, the main onshore structure in the Pacfic-Australian plate boundary, runs along the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand, where it accommodates ~70% of the relative plate motion. The fault ...
The evolutionary relationships and disparity of baleen whales (Mysticeti)

Marx, Felix Georg (Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013)

Baleen whales (mysticetes) form an essential part of modern ocean ecosystems, and show some of the most extreme adaptations evolved by any mammal. The evolutionary history of these animals has attracted much attention in ...
The development and evolution of supergene gold and sulphide mineralisation in quartz pebble conglomerate deposits.

Falconer, Donna Marie (Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2011)

The development and evolution of supergene gold and sulphide mineralisation that occurs in quartz pebble conglomerates (QPCs) from two contrasting environments is investigated. The contrasting sites in this study represent ...
Titanium-in-quartz geothermometry: tracing siliciclastic sediment across the South Island

McKercher, Kate Brydie (Thesis, Master of Science, 2012)

Provenance of ancient and Cenozoic East Otago and Canterbury Basin sedimentary rocks, modern Haast River and Wairau River bedload river sediment have been investigated using titanium-in-quartz geothermometry grain size ...
Pounamu : characterisation and resource assessment; Scott Basin, Wakatipu, New Zealand

Popham, Timothy B (Thesis, Master of Science, 2006)

Pounamu/greenstone is Aotearoa/New Zealand's icon mineral, a taonga (treasure) of which Ngai Tahu are kaitiaki (guardians). Pounamu in the form of nephrite and semi-nephrite occurs in Scott Basin, Lake Wakatipu, West Otago, ...
Latest Cretaceous to earliest Paleogene molluscan faunas of New Zealand : changes in composition as a consequence of the break-up of Gondwana and extinction

Stilwell, Jeffrey D (Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 1994)

Uppermost Cretaceous (Campanian?-Maastrichtian) to lowermost Paleogene (Paleocene) rocks of New Zealand contain an exceptional record of Bivalvia, Gastropodia and Scaphopodia. The composition of these faunas is closely ...
Magmatic evolution of a convergent margin : a study of Ross Orogeny magmatism in the Carlyon Glacier Region, Southern Victoria Land, Antarctica

Cottle, John M (Thesis, Master of Science, 2002)

The Fontaine Pluton outcrops over an area of 0.5km2 at Fontaine Bluff in the Carlyon Glacier area of southern Victoria Land, Antarctica. The pluton comprises subalkaline gabbro with a distinctive calc-alkaline chemical ...
A geophysical investigation of the Marshall Paraconformity in South Canterbury, New Zealand

Tinto, Kirsty (Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010)

The Marshall Paraconformity is a widely recognised surface in the mid-Oligocene sedimentary record of New Zealand and the south Pacific. Its type section has been defined at Squire's Farm in South Canterbury, South Island, ...
