  • Integrated Micropaleontology of Waikato Coal Measures and Associated Sediments in Central North Island, New Zealand

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. NEW ZEALAND OLIGOCENE LAND CRISIS: INTEGRATED MICROPALEONTOLOGY OF WAIKATO COAL MEASURES AND ASSOCIATED SEDIMENTS IN CENTRAL NORTH ISLAND, NEW ZEALAND A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Earth Science at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand. Claire Louise Shepherd 2012 ABSTRACT The topic of complete inundation of the New Zealand landmass during the Oligocene is a contentious one, with some proponents arguing the possibility that Zealandia became completely submerged during this time, and others contesting the persistence of small islands. The outcome of this debate has significant implications for the way in which modern New Zealand flora and fauna have evolved. This research project addresses the topic from a geological point of view by analysing late Oligocene–early Miocene sediments in the Benneydale region, in order to establish the timing of marine transgression in this area. Samples from two cores drilled in the Mangapehi Coalfield were analysed for palynological and calcareous nannofossil content, and these data were used to determine the age and paleoenvironment of Waikato Coal Measures, Aotea Formation and Mahoenui Group. Additionally, data from 28 boreholes in the coalfield were utilized to construct a series of isopach maps to elucidate changes in the paleostructure through time. All data were combined to develop a series of paleogeographic maps illustrating the development of coal measures and associated sediments across the Benneydale region.

  • Understanding Water Quality in Raglan Harbour
    Australasian Coasts & Ports Conference 2015 Greer, S. D. et al. 15 - 18 September 2015, Auckland, New Zealand Understanding Water Quality in Raglan Harbour Understanding Water Quality in Raglan Harbour S. D Greer1, R McIntosh2, S. Harrison2, D Phillips3 and S. Mead1 1 eCoast, Raglan, New Zealand; [email protected] 2 School of Science, University of Waikato, New Zealand 3 Unitec, Auckland, New Zealand Abstract Raglan (Whaingaroa) Harbour is located on the west coast of New Zealand’s North Island and is bordered by the Raglan township on the southern side close to the entrance. Land use in the watershed is dominated by dairy farming and forestry, which impact harbour water quality. A consented wastewater outfall is located at the harbour mouth close to the densely developed and populated area of the catchment. Over the years, there have been a number of reported spills and unlicensed releases from the treatment facility into the harbour. However, there is little context of the scale of the operation, and of the spills, against contaminant levels from inflowing rivers which are affected by land use practices. We address these uncertainties using a numerical modelling approach. Here we present a calibrated hydrodynamic model linked to a 13-river catchment model. Both of these models are used to drive a subsequent water quality model which simulates the transport and decay of Faecal Coliforms (FC) in the harbour. Model runs include a yearlong simulation of 2012 in its entirety, as well as a wastewater spill event that occurred in June of 2013. Results illustrate the seasonality of the water quality in the harbour with the largest concentrations of FC occurring in winter.

By the 1920’s these small coalmining settlements were established in the hills to the west, located approximately 17 kilometres from Huntly. A branch line was built westward from Huntly to Pukemiro Junction to convey coal from the large coalfields. Pukemiro Junction was the end of the line until 1923, when the line was extended to Glen Afton. On September the 24th 1939 there was a fire in the Glen Afton Mine, and 11 men lost their lives to carbon monoxide poisoning. Pukemiro Mine closed in September 1967 followed by Glen Afton in March 1969 and the MacDonald Mine (originally Glen Afton No 2 Mine) in November 1971. As there was no other traffic the line from Rotowaro to Glen Afton was closed in March 1973. Originally the whole district was known as Pukemiro Township.
