  • LITHIC INCLUSIONS in the TAUPO PUMICE FORMATION by Tadiwos
    LITHIC INCLUSIONS IN THE TAUPO PUMICE FORMATION by Tadiwos Chernet A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Science in Geology at the Research School of Earth Sciences Victoria University of Wellington January, 1987 FRONTISPIECE Subscene of Pel 18821 colour mosaic (courtesy of Physics and Engineering Labratory, D.SJ.R.) consists of photos taken by Landsat 1 on 22 Dec 1975 and 15 Feb 1976. The picture shows most part of the TVZ, with Lake Taupo Volcanic Centre in the middle. The greywacke ranges and ignimbrite plateau to the east and west of the TVZ are distinct from the active volcanic region which runs in the north-east direction. Products of the 1800a Taupo eruption have covered most part of the area shown. \/\CTORIA UN~' ,,--- -':Y CF WELLlNGTON' i i ABSTRACT The Taupo Pumice Formation is a product of the Taupo eruption of about 1800a, and consists of three pt'batomagmatic ash deposits, two plinian pumice deposits and a major low-aspect ratio and low grade (unwelded) ignimbrite which covered most part of the central North Island of New Zealand. The vent area for the eruption is located at Horomatangi Reefs in Lake Taupo. Lithics in the phreatoplinian ash deposits are negligible in quantity, but the plinian pumice deposits contain 5-]0% lithics by volume in most near-vent sections. Lithics in the plinian pumice deposits are dominantly banded and spherulitic rhyolite with minor welded tuff, dacite and andesite. The ground layer which forms the base of the ignimbrite unit consists of dominantly lithics and crystals and is formed by the gravitational sedimentation of the 'heavies' from the strongly fluidized head of the pyroclastic flow.

So I guess like others, this has been the year of testing our ability to do what we do in a global pandemic.

In this online Holiday Geology guide we describe a journey that takes in not just the obvious “must-see” volcanic sights but also visits places off the beaten track, interspersing the driving and sightseeing with opportunities for walking in the glorious Kiwi countryside. You will also learn about why the volcanoes are there and how they have evolved through time.

  • When I Think of Volcanoes, I Think Of…
    When I think of volcanoes, I think of… . Yellowstone Caldera Yellowstone is like a breath chest in that is always moving up and down, inflating and deflating. This is due to volcanic activity, but also due to underground water sources as well as gasses. Food for Thought: A core sample of the Great Salt Lake would show volcanic ash and lava deposits from both of Yellowstone’s previous major explosions, showing the massive reach of such a force of energy. The Yellowstone Caldera is the volcanic caldera located in Yellowstone National Park in the United States, sometimes referred to as the Yellowstone Supervolcano. The caldera is located in the northwest corner of Wyoming, in which the vast majority of the park is contained. The major features of the caldera measure about 34 by 45 miles (55 by 72 km). Yellowstone lies over a hotspot where light, hot, molten mantle rock rises toward the surface. While the Yellowstone hotspot is now under the Yellowstone Plateau, it previously helped create the eastern Snake River Plain (to the west of Yellowstone) through a series of huge volcanic eruptions. The hotspot appears to move across terrain in the east-northeast direction, but in fact the hotspot is much deeper than terrain and remains stationary while the North American Plate moves west-southwest over it. Over the past 18 million years or so, this hotspot has generated a succession of violent eruptions and less violent floods of basaltic lava. Together these eruptions have helped create the eastern part of the Snake River Plain from a once-mountainous region.

  • Natalie Robertson: Toxic Waters
    JACQUELINE CHARLES-RAULT Natalie Robertson: Toxic Waters Abstract Natalie Robertson is a Māori photographic and moving image artist who currently lives and works in Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand. Robertson, who is originally from Kawerau in the Bay of Plenty, belongs to the Ngāti Porou tribe. She has very strong ties to the land and to her iwi and as a tribe member shares responsibility for the life force of the Waiapu river. Her work explores Māori knowledge, practices and cultural landscapes, and also engages with conflicting settler and Indigenous relationships to land and place. Customary and contemporary mythologies of the land and space are the framework of Robertson’s work, which also draws on paradoxes of eco- nomic development and environmental destruction and the effects that these have had not only on the environment, but also on its inhabitants. This paper examines her art practice, in particu- lar, Uncle Tasman: The Trembling Current that Scars the Earth, a three-screen video installation recorded at geothermal sites in the Eastern Bay of Plenty, and her photographic work The Slow Catastrophe of the Waiapu River, which was exhibited for the first time in Le Havre, France, in 2015 for the exhibition Pacifique(S) Contemporain, curated by Caroline Vercoe and Jacqueline Charles-Rault. Keywords: Aotearoa New Zealand, Māori art, Natalie Robertson, photography, video art, environment Figure 1. Natalie Robertson, Auckland, 2008.

Drawing on Native Land Court minutes and other historical sources, the study broadens the focus of Ngāti Tūwharetoa history to include Te Poihipi‘s contribution to leadership during a period of considerable change in the rohe. The study shows Te Poihipi on his own terms and illustrates how he dealt with various challenges by taking the initiative, in seeking to acquire a mission in the district, in charting a path between Te Kīngitanga, conflict, and cooperation with the government, in choosing carefully who to support during armed conflicts, in encouraging Pākehā involvement in the district, and in selling land and supporting tourism.

  • WORLD HERITAGE LIST Tongariro No.421Rev Identification Nomination
    WORLD HERITAGE LIST Tongariro No.421rev Identification Nomination Tongariro National Park Location Tongariro and Wanganui Regions, North Island State Partv New Zealand (Aotearoa) Date 26 July 1993 Justification by State Party The following attributes of the Tongariro National Park demonstrate its required integrity as a universally outstanding example of a culturally associative landscape: The power of the unbroken associations of the Ngati Tuwharetoa && (Maori tribe) with the mountains since the landing of the Arawa canoe: the strong association is both a physical (Pacific "Ring of Fire") and a cultural (Ngato- roirangi) connection to their Pacific origins in the Hawaikis. The cultural links are clearly demonstrated in the oral history which is still a pervasive force for Ngati Tuwharetoa. The peaks are spoken of with the same reverence and feeling as tribal ancestors, ensuring that the connection is one of spirituality as well as culture. The linkage of cultural identity with the mountains: Tongariro, Ngati Tuwharetoa, and Te Heuheu are inextricab- ly linked with the tribal peDeha (statement of connection to a tribe and an area) recited at any occasion hosted by the Ngati Tuwharetoa u. The cultural significance of the gift: Horonuku's gift in 1887 formed the nucleus of the first national park in New Zealand, and only the fourth in the world. Significantly, this gift was the first from an indigenous people. The spirit of this gift fostered the formation of the national park network in New Zealand, and thus has safeguarded some of the most outstanding landscapes in the world from development. The high recognition, throughout New Zealand, of the rich cultural tapestry woven between Ngati Tuwharetoa and the Park.
