Visitor Perceptions of Natural Hazards at Whakapapa and Turoa Ski Areas, Mt Ruapehu A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Geography at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand. Celeste N. Milnes 2010 ii Abstract of a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of M.Phil. (Geography) Visitor Perceptions of Natural Hazards at Whakapapa and Turoa Ski Areas, Mt Ruapehu By C. N. Milnes Whakapapa and Turoa are ski areas located on the active volcano Mt Ruapehu, in the Central North Island of New Zealand. Mt Ruapehu is located within Tongariro National Park, one of the 14 National Parks administered by the Department of Conservation (DoC). Visitors to Whakapapa and Turoa ski areas encounter an array of hazards, including icy slopes, ragged cliffs and drop-offs, and thousands of other mountain users. Hazards unique to Whakapapa and Turoa include the threat to human safety from lahars, ash falls, pyroclastic flows, erosion, rock falls, crevassing and ballistic bombs due to the active volcanic nature of this mountain. Managing these hazards at Mt Ruapehu is complex due to the number of factors involved. This dynamic site hosts visitors who are moderately experienced and prepared, but may be complacent about the danger to personal safety within these areas.

  • Queenstown Lakes District Plan Review, Chapter 26: Historic Heritage
    DISTRICT PLAN REVIEW CHAPTER 26: HISTORIC HERITAGE SUBMISSION TO THE QUEENSTOWN LAKES DISTRICT COUNCIL 23 OCTOBER 2015 1. BACKGROUND TO IPENZ The Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand (IPENZ) is the lead national professional body representing the engineering profession in New Zealand. It has approximately 16,000 Members, and includes a cross-section of engineering students, practising engineers, and senior Members in positions of responsibility in business. IPENZ is non-aligned and seeks to contribute to the community in matters of national interest giving a learned view on important issues, independent of any commercial interest. As the lead engineering organisation in New Zealand, IPENZ has responsibility for advocating for the protection and conservation of New Zealand’s engineering heritage. IPENZ manages a Heritage Register and a Heritage Record for engineering items throughout New Zealand. The IPENZ Engineering Heritage Register has criteria and thresholds similar to Category 1 historic places on Heritage New Zealand’s New Zealand Heritage List/Rārangi Kōrero. Items on our Register have been assessed as being engineering achievements of outstanding or special heritage significance. IPENZ is still populating the Register. The IPENZ Engineering Heritage Record includes histories of industrial and engineering items around New Zealand, and is also subject to ongoing improvements and additions. 2. GENERAL COMMENTS 2.1 INTRODUCTION The scheduling of heritage places in the District Plans of local authorities is an important mechanism that IPENZ supports because of our objective of promoting the protection, preservation and conservation of New Zealand’s engineering heritage. The Queenstown Lakes District has a very rich heritage and in particular has a wealth of industrial and engineering heritages sites because of the area’s early mining, agricultural and pastoral history and its challenging topography.

  • As the Nzski CEO James Coddington Looked out Over the Spectacular Vista Afforded by the Remarkables
    NZSki “Life As It Ought To Be” As the NZSki CEO James Coddington looked out over the spectacular vista afforded by the Remarkables mountain range - taking in the New Zealand tourist hub of Queenstown - he contemplated the future for his company. “We’re at a tipping point,” he suggested, “things could go either way. We’ve been gradually building momentum over the last few years. But we have to keep moving forward. We certainly have room to cope with more skiers, but if all we do is get more skiers on the mountains we will actually reduce the customer experience from what it is now. That will mean less skiers in the future, a weakened brand, and the undoing of a lot of good work over the last few years.” Figure 1: New Zealand’s Ski Areas NZSki operated 3 skifields – Coronet Peak and the Remarkables in Queenstown and Mount Hutt in Canterbury. Recent growth since Coddington’s appointment in 2007 has been spectacular. The 2009 season was the most successful season on record. As a company, skier/rider numbers were up 29% over 2008 and revenue was up 22% - despite the economic recession. “When I began we were getting 180,000 – 200,000 people a year on Coronet Peak, but now we’re at 330,000. The biggest single day in 2007 saw around 4000 people, but this year we had 7777 people in one day. With our old infrastructure we simply couldn’t have coped – but the completely rebuilt base building, and completion of the snowmaking system and our investments in lift and pass technology have paid huge dividends in protecting the experience.

  • Interactive Effects of Climate Change and Species Composition on Alpine Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics
    Interactive effects of climate change and plant invasion on alpine biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics Justyna Giejsztowt M.Sc., 2013 University of Poitiers, France; Christian-Albrechts University, Germany B. Sc., 2010 University of Canterbury, New Zealand A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Biological Sciences Victoria University of Wellington Te Herenga Waka 2019 i ii This thesis was conducted under the supervision of Dr Julie R. Deslippe (primary supervisor) Victoria University of Wellington Wellington, New Zealand And Dr Aimée T. Classen (secondary supervisor) University of Vermont Burlington, United States of America iii iv “May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.” -Edward Abbey v vi Abstract Drivers of global change have direct impacts on the structure of communities and functioning of ecosystems, and interactions between drivers may buffer or exacerbate these direct effects. Interactions among drivers can lead to complex non-linear outcomes for ecosystems, communities and species, but are infrequently quantified. Through a combination of experimental, observational and modelling approaches, I address critical gaps in our understanding of the interactive effects of climate change and plant invasion, using Tongariro National Park (TNP; New Zealand) as a model. TNP is an alpine ecosystem of cultural significance which hosts a unique flora with high rates of endemism. TNP is invaded by the perennial shrub Calluna vulgaris (L.) Hull. My objectives were to: 1) determine whether species- specific phenological shifts have the potential to alter the reproductive capacity of native plants in landscapes affected by invasion; 2) determine whether the effect of invasion intensity on the Species Area Relationship (SAR) of native alpine plant species is influenced by environmental stress; 3) develop a novel modelling framework that would account for density-dependent competitive interactions between native species and C.
