Visitor Perceptions of Natural Hazards at Whakapapa and Turoa Ski Areas, Mt Ruapehu A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Geography at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand. Celeste N. Milnes 2010 ii Abstract of a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of M.Phil. (Geography) Visitor Perceptions of Natural Hazards at Whakapapa and Turoa Ski Areas, Mt Ruapehu By C. N. Milnes Whakapapa and Turoa are ski areas located on the active volcano Mt Ruapehu, in the Central North Island of New Zealand. Mt Ruapehu is located within Tongariro National Park, one of the 14 National Parks administered by the Department of Conservation (DoC). Visitors to Whakapapa and Turoa ski areas encounter an array of hazards, including icy slopes, ragged cliffs and drop-offs, and thousands of other mountain users. Hazards unique to Whakapapa and Turoa include the threat to human safety from lahars, ash falls, pyroclastic flows, erosion, rock falls, crevassing and ballistic bombs due to the active volcanic nature of this mountain. Managing these hazards at Mt Ruapehu is complex due to the number of factors involved. This dynamic site hosts visitors who are moderately experienced and prepared, but may be complacent about the danger to personal safety within these areas.

  • Interactive Effects of Climate Change and Species Composition on Alpine Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics
    Interactive effects of climate change and plant invasion on alpine biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics Justyna Giejsztowt M.Sc., 2013 University of Poitiers, France; Christian-Albrechts University, Germany B. Sc., 2010 University of Canterbury, New Zealand A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Biological Sciences Victoria University of Wellington Te Herenga Waka 2019 i ii This thesis was conducted under the supervision of Dr Julie R. Deslippe (primary supervisor) Victoria University of Wellington Wellington, New Zealand And Dr Aimée T. Classen (secondary supervisor) University of Vermont Burlington, United States of America iii iv “May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.” -Edward Abbey v vi Abstract Drivers of global change have direct impacts on the structure of communities and functioning of ecosystems, and interactions between drivers may buffer or exacerbate these direct effects. Interactions among drivers can lead to complex non-linear outcomes for ecosystems, communities and species, but are infrequently quantified. Through a combination of experimental, observational and modelling approaches, I address critical gaps in our understanding of the interactive effects of climate change and plant invasion, using Tongariro National Park (TNP; New Zealand) as a model. TNP is an alpine ecosystem of cultural significance which hosts a unique flora with high rates of endemism. TNP is invaded by the perennial shrub Calluna vulgaris (L.) Hull. My objectives were to: 1) determine whether species- specific phenological shifts have the potential to alter the reproductive capacity of native plants in landscapes affected by invasion; 2) determine whether the effect of invasion intensity on the Species Area Relationship (SAR) of native alpine plant species is influenced by environmental stress; 3) develop a novel modelling framework that would account for density-dependent competitive interactions between native species and C.

  • Protected Areas Zone – Policy PA2
    Protected Areas Zone – Policy PA2 PROTECTED AREAS ZONE - POLICY PA2.1 Introduction The Protected Areas Zone applies to the land depicted on the Ruapehu District Plan Maps as: (a) Amenity Policy Area. (b) Protected Areas - Conservation. (c) Protected Areas -Reserve. These areas form subsets of the Protected Areas Zone and cumulatively make up the entire Protected Areas Zone in this Plan. Amenity Policy Areas are areas set aside by DOC to provide for the development and operation of recreation and public amenities and related services at a scale and intensity which is not generally appropriate elsewhere in the National Parks. These include part of the Turoa and Whakapapa ski areas. The Protected Areas Zone includes: (a) National Parks managed in accordance with the National Parks Act 1980. (b) Conservation Areas and other land managed in accordance with the Conservation Act 1987. (c) Reserves managed in accordance with the Reserves Act 1977 (but excludes land within the Active Reserve Zone). (d) Land subject to the Wildlife Act 1953. (e) Land zoned as Protected Areas in accordance with the Resource Management Act 1991 (open space either owned or leased by an individual, Trust, Company, Council, Crown or the like). (f) Reserves: being a Reserve solely because they are identified under the powers vested in Ruapehu District Council in accordance with the Resource Management Act 1991. However, the Protected Areas Zone does not include Reserves that are specifically identified as ‘Active Reserve’ on the Planning Maps (see Active Reserve – Policy Chapter). The Issues, Objectives, Policies apply to all areas within the Protected Areas Zone.

  • Tongariro National Park New Zealand
    TONGARIRO NATIONAL PARK NEW ZEALAND In 1993 Tongariro became the first property to be inscribed on the World Heritage List as a Cultural Landscape. The mountains at the heart of the Park have cultural and religious significance for the Maori people and symbolize the spiritual links between this community and its environment. The Park has active and extinct volcanoes, a wide range of ecosystems from the once nationwide Podocarp- broadleaf rainforest to subalpine meadows and some spectacular landscapes. COUNTRY New Zealand NAME Tongariro National Park MIXED NATURAL & CULTURAL WORLD HERITAGE SERIAL SITE 1988: Inscribed on the World Heritage List under Natural Criteria vii and viii (UNESCO, 1998) 1993: Extended as a Cultural Landscape under Cultural Criterion vi. STATEMENT OF OUTSTANDING UNIVERSAL VALUE [pending] IUCN MANAGEMENT CATEGORY II National Park BIOGEOGRAPHICAL PROVINCE Neozealandia (7.01.02) GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION A mountain massif in the south centre of North Island almost midway between Auckland and Wellington. A small outlier, 3 km north of the main park, separated from it by Lake Rotoaira lies just south-southwest of the town of Turangi and Lake Taupo. The Park is bounded on the west by a main railway and on the north by a main road, lying between 38° 58' to 39° 35' S and 175° 22’ to 175° 48' E.
