  • West Coast Visitor Waste Management Strategy
    WEST COAST VISITOR WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY AS AMENDED BY 2ND STAKEHOLDER MEETING IN GREYMOUTH ON 4TH OCTOBER 2006 PREPARED FOR : W EST COAST WASTE MANAGEMENT GROUP PREPARED BY : T OURISM RESOURCE CONSULTANTS , IN ASSOCIATION WITH LINCOLN UNIVERSITY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This strategy has been developed to manage waste generated by visitors to the West Coast. It has been prepared for several parties: the West Coast Waste Management Working Group, an inter-agency working group consisting of: West Coast Regional Council; Buller District Council; Grey District Council; Westland District Council; Transit New Zealand; Department of Conservation; and the Ministry for Environment. Other parties also have an interest in the project, including Tourism West Coast and the Ministry of Tourism. The strategy has been prepared by Tourism Resource Consultants in association with Lincoln University. It has been prepared following meetings with council staff, Transit New Zealand, Opus and various community, waste management and visitor industry representatives on and off the West Coast. Relevant information on visitor sites and facilities were integrated into a database and ‘Hot-Spots’ (areas under substantial pressure from visitors) were identified. Our goal with this strategy is to: Minimise effects of waste generated by visitors to the West Coast. Our objectives to achieve this, are to: Provide a level of infrastructure and service that is cost-effective, integrated and of the right capacity to cope with present and future growth in the visitor industry; Provide effective information and education so that visitors use waste management facilities; Discourage non-complying activities and enforce financial consequences for visitors who are not using waste management facilities.

  • NEW ZEALAND NOTES·, 1954-5 by DAVID HALL
    • NEW ZEALAND NOTES, 1954-5 39 1 . NEW ZEALAND NOTES·, 1954-5 By DAVID HALL HE last climbing season was notable for two things : first, the early disappearance of snow providing in early January conditions which might have been expected six weeks later ; second, the high death roll in accidents. A consequence of the lack of snow was that much rock was exposed which would have been concealed at a normal Christmas season and many slopes were uncompromisingly hard ice which would normally · have been steep, firm snow; everyone in fact had to work fairly hard for the climbs they did. But some very good climbs were done. The existence (or should one say the ' invention ') of new ten­ thousanders must be a perpetual menace to the peace of mind of those few choice spirits who have achieved what they hoped was an unfading garland with the ascent of all the peaks in New Zealand over 1o,ooo ft. However, Mount ' Magellan ' is not positively claimed as definitely 1o,ooo ft., although it must closely approximate to it. (Throughout these notes names cited in inverted commas have yet to receive the approval of the Geographic Board.) ' Magellan ' lies on the Balfour Range spur of Mount Teichelmann, and its first ascent was made in February by Guide Harry Ayres with B. S. Gillies and Sir Edmund Hillary and D. G. Herron; the two parties climbed some of the day on one rope. They ieft the Haast Hut at 2 A.M., were· at the summit of Teichelmann by way of Clarke Saddle by 10.45 A.M., reached their objective, after traversing a long teetery crest of snow interrupted by a formidable rock tower, at 4 P.M., and returned to the Haast Hut by the route of ascent twenty-four hours after setting forth.

  • Chemical Weathering in Highsedimentyielding Watersheds

Nezat1 Byrd Polar Research Center, Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA Received 3 September 2003; revised 14 September 2004; accepted 30 November 2004; published 15 February 2005. [1] We have determined the chemical erosion yields for fifteen watersheds in New Zealand, ranging in size from 12.2 to 2928 km2. These rates, coupled with previously measured physical erosion yields, allow us to compare these two modes of landscape denudation. The physical erosion yields are some of the highest measured in the world. Although in most instances the chemical erosion yields are only a small fraction of the total erosion yields, the absolute values are very high. Our data strongly support the notion that chemical erosion rates are greatly influenced by the yield of physical erosion and that the rapid production of fresh surfaces as a result of high physical erosion rates and subsequent denudation is critical to the high chemical erosion yields observed.

Ryan ([email protected]) Abstract: This paper presents the current state-of-knowledge of the Aotearoa New Zealand (Aotearoa) last interglacial (MIS 5 sensu lato) sea-level record compiled within the framework of the World Atlas of Last Interglacial Shorelines (WALIS) 15 database. Seventy-seven total relative sea-level (RSL) indicators (direct, marine-, and terrestrial-limiting points), commonly in association with marine terraces, were identified from over 120 studies reviewed. Extensive coastal deformation around New Zealand has prompted research focused on active tectonics, which requires less precision than sea-level reconstruction. The range of last interglacial paleo-shoreline elevations are resulted in a significant range of elevation measurements on both the North Island (276.8 ± 10.0 to -94.2 ± 10.6 m amsl) and South Island (173.1165.8 ± 2.0 to -70.0 ± 10.3 m amsl) and 20 prompted the use of RSL indicators tohave been used to estimate rates of vertical land movement; however, indicators in many instances lackk adequate description and age constraint for high-quality RSL indicators.

  • Regional Relief Characteristics and Denudation Pattern of the Western Southern Alps, New Zealand
    Geomorphology 71 (2005) 402–423 www.elsevier.com/locate/geomorph Regional relief characteristics and denudation pattern of the western Southern Alps, New Zealand Oliver Korupa,*, Jochen Schmidtb, Mauri J. McSaveneyc aWSL Swiss Federal Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF, CH-7260 Davos, Switzerland bNational Institute for Water and Atmospheric Research, Christchurch, New Zealand cInstitute for Geological and Nuclear Sciences, Lower Hutt, New Zealand Received 7 June 2004; received in revised form 1 April 2005; accepted 27 April 2005 Available online 5 July 2005 Abstract The Southern Alps of New Zealand are the topographic expression of active oblique continental convergence of the Australian and Pacific plates. Despite inferred high rates of tectonic and climatic forcing, the pattern of differential uplift and erosion remains uncertain. We use a 25-m DEM to conduct a regional-scale relief analysis of a 250-km long strip of the western Southern Alps (WSA). We present a preliminary map of regional erosion and denudation by overlaying mean basin relief, a modelled stream-power erosion index, river incision rates, historic landslide denudation rates, and landslide density. The interplay between strong tectonic and climatic forcing has led to relief production that locally attains ~2 km in major catchments, with mean values of 0.65–0.68 km. Interpolation between elevations of major catchment divides indicates potential removal of l01–103 km3, or a mean basin relief of 0.51–0.85 km in the larger catchments. Local relief and inferred river incision rates into bedrock are highest about 50–67% of the distance between the Alpine fault and the main divide.
