  • Late Pleistocene Geology of the Kowai River Valley, Mid-Canterbury
    LATE PLEISTOCENE GEOLOGY OF THE KOWAl RIVER VALLEY MID-CANTERBURY A thesis submitted. in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Geology iD; the University of Canterbury by Michael Marden 5 University of Canterbury 1976 THl:SlS WcJt, 5 ABSTRACT ; The Kowai River Valley, a formerly glaciated -tributary of the Waimakariri River, drains the eastern side of the Torlesse Range in the vicinity of Porter's Pass. -. A study of the glacial deposits and stratigraphy was made, investigating three specific but complimentary aspects:· - · ( 1) Mapping of the glacial stratigraphic succession for the purpose of correlation.with that established for the Waimakariri River System (Gage, 1958) ; (2) a detailed comparative textural analysis of outwash gravels from :two glacial advances to determine whether an·y significant differences exist, that can be directly related to environmental processes operating during transportation and deposition of these materials~ - (3) a clay mineral study of weathering products as a potential tool for age determination-and correlation. From logitudinal terrace profiles, a _distinct ·surface and moraine system was found for each of the Woodstock, Otarama, Blackwater I and II and Poulter Glacial Advances, from which their magnitude and maximum extension were interpreted. The stratigraphy and glacial history of the Kawai . River reflects that of the Waimakariri River very closely, but, several. anomalous topographical features indicate that-the Kawai Valley traverses a zone of active tectonism. The principal sites of movement were identified and something of the tectonic history was deduced. Parameters measured for the gravel analysis included size distribution, composition, ·sphericity and shape factor.

  • Canterbury Railways: Full Steam Ahead the Provincial Railways of Canterbury, 1863-76
    Canterbury Railways: Full Steam Ahead The Provincial Railways of Canterbury, 1863-76 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History in the University of Canterbury by Alastair Adrian Cross University of Canterbury 2017 Abstract The broad-gauge Canterbury Railways are considered unanimously by New Zealand historians as the origins of the modern-day railway network in New Zealand. Built by the Canterbury Provincial Government in 1863 to relieve transport issues between Christchurch and Lyttelton, the broad-gauge railway later expanded to reach Amberley in the north and Rakaia in the south, opening up the Canterbury Plains and stimulating trade and immigration. Brought under the control of the Public Works Department in 1876 along with several narrow-gauge lines built by the Provincial Government, the broad-gauge was converted to the New Zealand standard narrow-gauge in 1878 and the locomotives and rolling-stock were sold to the South Australian Railways. Unfortunately, there has been little engagement with the history of the Canterbury Railways in the last fifty years and in particular with the primary sources from the period since the publication in 1964 of W. A. Pierre’s book Canterbury Provincial Railways: Genesis of the NZR. The majority of what has been written in this timeframe has been for the railway enthusiast market, and therefore has contributed to the marginalisation of the part played by the Canterbury Railways in the context of the wider New Zealand history. By engaging with period primary sources held by Archives New Zealand and suitably supported with selected secondary sources, this thesis aims to recover this history within an academic framework considering, among other themes, the prehistory of the railway before 1863, the operation of the CR network and comparisons with other Provincial-era railway operations within this period.

  • Paleoseismic Analysis of the Springfield Fault, Central Canterbury
    PALEOSEISMIC ANALYSIS OF THE SPRINGFIELD FAULT, CENTRAL CANTERBURY A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science with Honors at the University of Canterbury by STEWART THOMAS EVANS University of Canterbury, JULY2000 ABSTRACT The Springfield Fault is a northeast striking thrust fault bisecting the Russell Range at the northern end of the Malvern Hills near Springfield. The trace of the fault is best expressed by offset river terraces, as it cuts across the flood plane of the Hawkins River in the Upper Hawkins Basin. The Russell Range is composed chiefly of the basement Triassic rocks of the Torlesse tenane with Cretaceous to Cenozoic rocks occurring in a fault bounded slice and around the hinge of the hanging wall anticline of the fault. Quaternary glacial sediments occur on the plains adjacent to the Russell Range with Holocene deposits occurring in the Upper Hawkins Basin. Folding in the highly sheared basement is along NW-SE trending fold axes. The current direction of principal shortening was determined from slickenside data to be NW-SE to NE-SW. Geomorphology of the area in the Upper Hawkins Basin provided a chronology of the activity on the Springfield Fault. Offset of terrace surfaces provide evidence for the number of fault ruptures, which is at least two. An attempt to date the age of fault and river tenace scarps was made using their morphology and a diffusion model of scarp degradation. Analysis requires the diffusivity rate operating on a scarp to be known to produce an absolute age for the scarp.
