  • Blue-Sky Eruptions, Do They Exist? Implications for Monitoring New
    Blue‐sky eruptions, do they exist? Implications for monitoring New Zealand’s volcanoes. A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Disaster and Hazard Management at the University of Canterbury by Angela Louise Doherty University of Canterbury 2009 Frontispiece “What are the odds, right?” “Before it happened it would have said slim, but since it did happen I would say 100%...” Dr Ray Langston replying to Catherine Willows (played by Lawrence Fishburne and Marg Helgenberger – CSI: Crime Scene Investigation). Lahar following the September 2007 eruption of Ruapehu (photo: GNS Science). Abstract The term “blue‐sky eruption” (BSE) can be used to describe eruptions which are unexpected or have no detected precursory activity. Case study analyses indicate that they have a diverse range of characteristics and magnitudes, providing both direct and indirect hazards and occur in both under‐developed and developed countries. BSEs can be a result of physical triggers (e.g. the lack of physically detectable precursors or a lack of understanding of the eruption model of the volcano), social triggers (such as an inadequate monitoring network), or a combination of the two. As the science of eruption forecasting is still relatively young, and the variations between individual volcanoes and individual eruptions are so great, there is no effective general model and none should be applied in the absence of a site‐specific model. Similarly, as methods vary between monitoring agencies, there are no monitoring benchmarks for effective BSE forecasting. However a combination of seismic and gas emission monitoring may be the most effective.

Camm.r.r, Director UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE • 1938 OPEN ALL YEAR MONO THE SUPERB AREAS included in the national park system of the United States is a series of connected caverns of unusual magnificence and extent known as the Carlsbad Caverns. They are Alocated in southeaster n New Mexico, in the rugged foot­ hills of the Guadalupe Mountains. The region is pic­ turesque semidesert country, and its cactus vegetation is as strange and interesting to many visitors as are the caverns themselves. The Federal Government, by proclamation of Presi­ dent Coolidge, on October 25, 1923, established the Carlsbad Cave National Monument. Later, by act of Congress approved May 14, 1930, the area became the Carlsbad Caverns National Park. FORMATION OF THE CAVERNS Carlsbad Caverns are openings made by water in a massive rock known as the Carlsbad limestone. This limestone was formed originally in a shallow inland extension of the ocean some 200 million years ago—in the Permian period, which followed the time of greatest coal forming throughout the world.

  • The Wilderness Knot
    The Wilderness Knot THESIS SUBMITTED FOR DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY, UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN SYDNEY ‘ Haydn Grinling Washington 2006 DEDICATION For Angorawa, for Baiame Cave, and for Nullo – those genii loci who have guided me. And for Dyagula (the Lyrebird), my totem and teacher, whose voice I still hear. May you remain forever wild! ‘I hearing get, who had but ears, And sight, who had but eyes before; I moments live, who lived but years, And truth discern, who knew but learning’s lore. Now chiefly is my natal hour, And only now my prime of life; I will not doubt the love untold Which not my worth or want hath bought, Which wooed me young, and wooes me old, And to this evening hath me brought.’ Thoreau, as quoted by Emerson (1862) ‘If we turn our regard for nature more and more into clever philosophical word games, if we begin to think that we are intellectually creating nature rather than physically participating in it, we are in danger of losing sight of the real wolves being shot by real bullets from real aeroplanes, of real trees being clearcut, of real streams being polluted by real factories.’ Bryant (1995) ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without many places and people. First is the wilderness itself, especially Wollemi, and the many years of teaching and sharing it has graced me with. In particular I acknowledge the Colo River, which has shaped my life, and Nullo Mountain, which has been my home now for many years – a wonderful place from which to create this thesis.
