  • The 1934 Pahiatua Earthquake Sequence: Analysis of Observational and Instrumental Data
    221 THE 1934 PAHIATUA EARTHQUAKE SEQUENCE: ANALYSIS OF OBSERVATIONAL AND INSTRUMENTAL DATA Gaye Downes1' 2, David Dowrick1' 4, Euan Smith3' 4 and Kelvin Berryman1' 2 ABSTRACT Descriptive accounts and analysis of local seismograms establish that the epicentre of the 1934 March 5 M,7.6 earthquake, known as the Pahiatua earthquake, was nearer to Pongaroa than to Pahiatua. Conspicuous and severe damage (MM8) in the business centre of Pahiatua in the northern Wairarapa led early seismologists to name the earthquake after the town, but it has now been found that the highest intensities (MM9) occurred about 40 km to the east and southeast of Pahiatua, between Pongaroa and Bideford. Uncertainties in the location of the epicentre that have existed for sixty years are now resolved with the epicentre determined in this study lying midway between those calculated in the 1930' s by Hayes and Bullen. Damage and intensity summaries and a new isoseismal map, derived from extensive newspaper reports and from 1934 Dominion Observatory "felt reports", replace previous descriptions and isoseismal maps. A stable solution for the epicentre of the mainshock has been obtained by analysing phase arrivals read from surviving seismograms of the rather small and poorly equipped 1934 New Zealand network of twelve stations (two privately owned). The addition of some teleseismic P arrivals to this solution shifts the location of the epicentre by less than 10 km. It lies within, and to the northern end of, the MM9 isoseismal zone. Using local instrumental data larger aftershocks and other moderate magnitude earthquakes that occurred within 10 days and 50 km of the mainshock have also been located.

About Whanganui River Dories Whanganui River Dories is a part of River Valley Ventures Ltd. Since 1982, family owned and Taihape based adventure company, River Valley, has been offering trips on the rivers of the central North Island of New Zealand. Based from River Valley Lodge, the company offers raft and inflatable kayak adventures on the Rangitikei and Ngaru- roro Rivers, and through Whanganui River Dories, dory trips on the Whanganui River through the Whanganui National Park. We offer river trips that vary in duration from 1/2 day to 6 days. Part of the experiences River Valley also offers are horse treks with River Valley Stables. These treks, from a half day out to 7 days, explore central North Island high country. A point of difference for River Valley Stables is the emphasis on a learning experience using Natural Horse Training as well as the ride itself. River Valley is a company that is also heavily involved in “giving back.” We do this through our Stoat trapping program that is centred around the Rangitikei River at Pukeokahu near Taihape. The aim of this program is to protect and grow the threat- ened native bird population. Thanks for choosing River Valley for your trip. We look forward to being on the river with you.

PALEOENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS OF QUATERNARY STRATA IN THE LEVIN AREA A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Quaternary Science at Massey University ALAN HENRY SEWELL 1991 ·-~-. - - ,.-.··,_·.:·.-· Frontispiece: Pencil sketch looking north from the Tararua foothills, south-east of Potts Hill, across the Tokomaru Marine Terrace and Manawatu River flood plain beyond. ABSTRACT Marine transgression during the Last Interglacial resulted in widespread inundation of the southern Manawa tu area. The Otaki Formation constitutes the relatively thick blanket of predominantly marine sand deposited at the height of the transgression and is now exposed in a partially dissected marine terrace abutting the Tararua Range. Sedimentation was controlled by basement block faulting related to a regional strike-slip tectonic regime on the south­ eastern margin of the South Wanganui Basin. Wave-induced longshore currents from the north-west supplied abundant sediment to the coast. North-east of Levin the Kairanga Trough, occupying a north-east-trending structural depression between uplifted basement blocks, formed the centre of an embayment during the transgression. Tide-dominated depositional processes predominated around the margins of the embayment. In the Forest Lakes area, the absence of seaward barriers resulted in an open wave-dominated coastline. Between Ohau and Shannon mixed wave/tide processes predominated. Stabilisation of sea level resulted in shoreline progradation which was especially marked south of Levin where a dune belt formed, mantling the coastal cliff and later migrating inland.

Ruapehu harbours a population of the endangered blue duck (Hymenolaimus malacorhynchos). • Blue duck feed almost exclusively on benthic macroinvertebrates. There is concern that if the invasive alga, Didymosphenia geminata was introduced to the Manganui o te Ao River, the food supply for blue ducks may be impacted. • This report is a biosurvey of algae and macroinvertebrates at three sites along the Manganui o te Ao River. The aim was to provide a snapshot of the algal and macroinvertebrate communities in case D.

DETECTING SIGNALS OF CLIMATIC SHIFTS AND LAND USE CHANGE FROM PRECIPITATION AND RIVER DISCHARGE VARIATIONS: THE WHANGANUI AND WAIKATO CATCHMENTS A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Earth Sciences at The University of Waikato by Ying Qiao The University of Waikato 2012 III IV Abstract The Whanganui and Waikato river catchments have somewhat different degrees of exposure to the westerly wind systems. It is of interest to determine whether the two regions have similar times of occurrence of any concurrent shifts in river discharge and rainfall, with particular reference to mean value changes. Concurrent rainfall and runoff shifts are indicative of climatic variation but catchment land use changes (which will influence only discharge change) have also been occurring in both catchments, particularly with respect to forest planting or forest clearance.
