The Late Quaternary Geomorphology of the Lower Manawatu

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. THE LATE QUATERNARY GEOMORPHOLOGY OF THE LOWER MANAWATU A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Geography at Massey University by PATRICK ALAN HESP 1975 ABSTRACT The geomorphology of the present Lower Manawa tu floodplain and the valleys that exit at the margin of the floodplain, is presented. An introduction to the geology and geomorphology of the study area is given, and previous studies are reported where relevant. Two types of tributary valleys have been recognised in the study area. These valleys have been cut into the Tokomaru Marine Terrace. The first type recognised are predominantly gravel-floored, box-shaped valleys with headwaters in the Tararua Ranges. The second and major type recognised are box-shaped valleys without gravel floors. The first type have been formed by normal fluvial processes, while the second type were originally V-shaped, and have been infilled by estuarine sedimentation processes. The latter occurred as a direct result of the Flandrian Transgression. The morphology of the Tokoma ru Marine Terrace margin is examined, and it is concluded that the margin is predominantly river-cut. The Manawatu floodplain was originally an estuary. As the Flandrian Transgression began the lower reaches of the Manawatu and eventually the Oroua Rivers were drowned. As the Transgression progressed, the Lower Manawatu became an estuary. -
