  • A Geochemical Perspective
    ABSTRACT THOMPSON, CATHERINE E. Tracking Organic Matter from Source to Sink in the Waiapu River Watershed, New Zealand: A Geochemical Perspective. (Under the direction of Neal E. Blair and Elana L. Leithold). The significant contribution of small mountainous river systems, including the Waiapu River on New Zealand’s East Cape, to the global fluvial sediment supply motivates investigation into the processes that influence the character and composition of the organic carbon that they carry. Organic matter preserved in continental margin sediments originates from terrestrial sources such as kerogen, fresh and aged soil carbon, as well as marine sources. Due to the reactivity of marine carbon in the seabed, terrestrial sources of carbon are preferentially preserved unaltered. Therefore, identification of specific terrestrial sources of sediment from the watershed preserved on the continental margin can facilitate interpretation of the organic geochemical record and enable reconstruction of the watershed history. Carbon and nitrogen isotopic analyses and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons have been used to apportion terrestrial carbon sources preserved on the shelf, specifically to resolve aged soil contributions. Spatial geochemical patterns on the margin appear to be complicated by structural deformation of the shelf and its influence on marine sediment dynamics. Resolution of riverine sources suggests that gullying, bank failure, and sheetwash are the chronic geomorphic processes delivering most of the organic carbon to the Waiapu sedimentary system. The middle and outer Waiapu continental shelf buries an average of 59 Gg C/y. Relative to the 200 Gg C/y delivered by the Waiapu River to the ocean, approximately 23% of the riverine carbon is retained on the mid- to outer shelf, matching the sediment inventory.

At a deeper level, it inherently recognises the interconnectedness of our land, our biodiversity and our people. The Department of Conservation is committed to supporting its Treaty Partners in their ongoing journey to connect iwi, hapu and whanau to species, places and traditions that are important to them. The relationship protocols outlined in the Conservation redress component of each Treaty Settlement binds us in this endeavour. There are now 64 Treaty Settlements in effect across New Zealand, 11 deeds of settlements in the last stage of being legislated, 8 iwi are negotiating their deeds and 12 other iwi are in the process of negotiating their agreement in principle. The ongoing partnerships we are building with iwi across the country, post-settlement, has greatly improved conservation outcomes for all New Zealanders.
