    10/19/2018 New Zealand earthquake: first relief trucks sent to Kaikoura as road opens | World news | The Guardian New Zealand earthquake: first relief trucks sent to Kaikoura as road opens Army convoy brings supplies for stricken South Island town, while navy ship berths in Christchurch carrying hundreds of evacuees Eleanor Ainge Roy in Dunedin Wed 16 Nov 2016 22.38 EST A road has been cleared to the seaside town of Kaikoura on New Zealand’s east coast four days after it was cut off by a magnitude 7.8 quake that devastated the North Canterbury region of the South Island. The inland road to Kaikoura was opened on Thursday morning, but only for trucks and four- wheel drive vehicles as it remained unstable and badly damaged. A convoy of 27 army vehicles loaded with relief supplies was immediately sent to the town. Gale-force winds and heavy downpours in quake-stricken areas continued to slow the pace of relief efforts, although the majority of the 1,200 tourists stranded in Kaikoura had been evacuated by sea and air. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/nov/17/new-zealand-earthquake-first-relief-trucks-sent-to-kaikoura-as-road-opens 1/3 10/19/2018 New Zealand earthquake: first relief trucks sent to Kaikoura as road opens | World news | The Guardian Nearly 500 evacuees came into Christchurch early on Wednesday morning on the HMNZS Canterbury and were put up in empty student dormitories, where they were offered cooked breakfasts and hot showers after arriving at 5am. Police in Marlborough were using a military Iroquois helicopter to begin checking on isolated high-country farms from the Clarence river to the upper Awatere valley, delivering emergency food and medical supplies to farmers who had gone without assistance since the quake early on Monday.

  • Circulation and Mixing in Greater Cook Strait, New Zealand
    OCEANOLOGICA ACTA 1983- VOL. 6- N" 4 ~ -----!~- Cook Strait Circulation and mixing Upwelling Tidal mixing Circulation in greater Cook S.trait, Plume Détroit de Cook Upwelling .New Zealand Mélange Circulation Panache Malcolm J. Bowrnan a, Alick C. Kibblewhite b, Richard A. Murtagh a, Stephen M. Chiswell a, Brian G. Sanderson c a Marine Sciences Research Center, State University of New York, Stony Brook, NY 11794, USA. b Physics Department, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand. c Department of Oceanography, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Received 9/8/82, in revised form 2/5/83, accepted 6/5/83. ABSTRACT The shelf seas of Central New Zealand are strongly influenced by both wind and tidally driven circulation and mixing. The region is characterized by sudden and large variations in bathymetry; winds are highly variable and often intense. Cook Strait canyon is a mixing basin for waters of both subtropical and subantarctic origins. During weak winds, patterns of summer stratification and the loci of tidal mixing fronts correlate weil with the h/u3 stratification index. Under increasing wind stress, these prevailing patterns are easily upset, particularly for winds b1owing to the southeasterly quarter. Under such conditions, slope currents develop along the North Island west coast which eject warm, nutrient depleted subtropical water into the surface layers of the Strait. Coastal upwelling occurs on the flanks of Cook Strait canyon in the southeastern approaches. Under storm force winds to the south and southeast, intensifying transport through the Strait leads to increased upwelling of subsurface water occupying Cook Strait canyon at depth.

  • The Spatial Distribution of Pā in Tōtaranui/Queen Charlotte Sound, New Zealand
    The spatial distribution of pā in Tōtaranui/Queen Charlotte Sound, New Zealand A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand Tristan Wadsworth i Abstract The distribution of pā sites in the central New Zealand region of Tōtaranui/Queen Charlotte Sound is investigated to determine the relationship between pā and other Māori archaeological sites, and the influence of maritime and introduced terrestrial resources. Particular aims of research are to investigate the role of visibility as a measure of defensibility in the distribution of Tōtaranui pā, and whether this distribution is influenced by the distribution of garden sites and karaka stands, two important introduced resources often considered to influence pā distribution at national levels. Additionally, evidence for gardening activity is ambiguous in Tōtaranui, for which there is a number of archaeologically recorded garden sites but a noted absence of gardening activity in the earliest historical records. Investigation into the distribution of pā is done by comparing proximity and intervisibility of pā sites to a range of Māori archaeological site types (garden sites, karaka stands, midden sites, oven sites, other pā sites, pit sites, and terrace sites). Proximity of pā to other archaeological sites is quantitatively measured by way of cost distance analysis, and intervisibility of sites measured by way of viewshed analysis within Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Cost distances and frequency of intervisibility of pā to other archaeological sites is recorded and compared against a dataset of random points. Based on the methodology used in the analysis, neither maritime nor introduced terrestrial resources had a significant influence on the distribution of Tōtaranui pā.
