Abstract Monowai is a submarine volcanic center in the Kermadec Arc, Southwest Pacific Ocean. In the past, activity at the volcano had been intermittently observed in the form of fallout at the sea surface, discolored water, changes in seafloor topography, and T phase seismicity, but there is no continuous record for more recent years.

  • Annotated Checklist of the Marine Flora and Fauna of the Kermadec Islands Marine Reserve and Northern Kermadec Ridge, New Zealand
    www.aucklandmuseum.com Annotated checklist of the marine flora and fauna of the Kermadec Islands Marine Reserve and northern Kermadec Ridge, New Zealand Clinton A.J. Duffy Department of Conservation & Auckland War Memorial Museum Shane T. Ahyong Australian Museum & University of New South Wales Abstract At least 2086 species from 729 families are reported from the insular shelf and upper slope of the Kermadec Islands Marine Reserve and north Kermadec Ridge. The best known groups are benthic Foraminifera, benthic macroalgae, Cnidaria, Mollusca, Crustacea, Bryozoa, Echinodermata, fishes and sea birds. However knowledge of the region’s biota remains superficial and even amongst these groups new species records are commonplace. Bacteria, most planktonic groups, sessile invertebrates (particularly Porifera and Ascidiacea), infaunal and interstitial invertebrates, and parasites are largely unstudied. INTRODUCTION is a relatively large, shallow area (50–500 m depth) of complex topography located c. 105 km southwest of The Kermadec Islands are located between 636 km L’Esperance Rock in the northern part of the Central (L’Esperance and Havre Rocks) and 800 km (Raoul domain. Volcanism in this and the Southern domain is Island) NNE of New Zealand. They are large, active located west of the ridge (Smith & Price 2006). South volcanoes that rise more than 1000 m above the Kermadec of 33.3° S the ridge crest is largely located below 1000 Ridge (Ewart et al. 1977; Smith & Price 2006). The oldest m depth, eventually dipping below the sediments of the known shallow water marine sedimentary sequences Raukumara Basin at more than 2400 m depth (Smith & reported from the Kermadec Islands date from the early Price 2006).

Extension is minor, as rifting jumped north of Correspondence to: J. R. Cochran, Thurston Island early in the rifting process. The Amundsen Sea Embayment continental shelf west of the [email protected] rifted terrain is underlain by a deeper, more extensive sedimentary basin also formed during rifting between Antarctica and Zealandia. A well-defined boundary zone separates the mildly extended Abbot extensional Citation: terrain from the deeper Amundsen Embayment shelf basin. The shelf basin has an extension factor, b,of Cochran, J. R., K. J. Tinto, and R. E. Bell 1.5–1.7 with 80–100 km of extension occurring across an area now 250 km wide. Following this extension, (2015), Abbot Ice Shelf, structure of the Amundsen Sea continental margin and rifting centered north of the present shelf edge and proceeded to continental rupture.
