MAN AND HIS WOEK An Introduction to Human GEOORArHY Second Edition. Illustrated. Small Crown &vo. Cloth. Price Is. Qd. PEEFACE The modern teaching of geography, like that of history, lays increasing stress on the value of original authorities. One of the first steps in this direction was the biblio- graphy appended to Sir Archibald Geikie's Teaching of Geography, followed in 1897 by Dr. H. R. Mill's Hints to Teachers and Students on the Choice of Geographical Books, compiled at the request of the Geographical Association. The present series goes a step farther, and attempts to depict the world in the language of men who have seen it. The task of preparing the present volume has not been an easy one. Our colonies at the other side of the world are too new to offer many attractions to travellers, and most of the available books of travel lay more stress on the material aspects of city life than on the natural geographical features ; the rate of progress is so rapid that authorities soon get out of date. Great use has been made of the official publications of the various Colonial Governments, and teachers are advised to apply for samples to the Agents- General of the various colonies, who will supply some of them at a nominal cost. The journals of the Australasian Geographical Society often contain useful articles, but are practically inaccessible in this country. For the Asiatic and Pacific Islands there are several standard books of travel. VI DESCRIPTIVE GEOGRAPHY OF AUSTRALASIA The editors desire to express their thanks to Lord Brassey, H. M.

Increasing loads of nitrogen from the surrounding catchment threaten lake water quality. A management proposal is presented that promotes a sustainable development pathway for the lake community thereby protecting the lake for all New Zealanders. A community change process to protect the environmental, economic, cultural and spiritual values of a lake is described Keywords: Community, economy, Lake Taupo, land use, management, nutrients, policy, water quality INTRODUCTION Lake Taupo is the largest lake in New Zealand (area 620 km2, mean depth 95m). It is highly valued for its crystal blue water and dramatic vistas. These features provide the basis of an international tourist mecca and a world-class trout fishery as well as an important local recreation area and preferred retirement location. The lake is also important spiritually and culturally to the local indigenous people, Ngati Tuwharetoa. Lake Taupo’s excellent water quality is derived from extremely low levels of plant nutrients and phytoplankton. Unlike many other lakes, nitrogen availability rather than phosphorus limits phytoplankton growth in Taupo. Increased nutrient flows, especially nitrogen, from intensifying rural land use and urban growth in the catchment promotes algal and phytoplankton growth and threatens water clarity and the excellent water quality of the lake.

New Zcaland 2. TAUPO VOLCANIC ZONE The Taupo Volcanic Zone Fig. 1) is the consequence of plate subduction beneath the North Island of New Zcaland. ABSTRACT The thin continental crust (-15 km, Stem and Davey, 1987) spreads at rates up to 18 (Darby and Williams, 1991) Silicic calderas and geothermal systems in Taupo Volcanic in active rifting and subsidence. Since c. 1.6 Ma, the Zone (TVZ) of New Zealand are spatially related. Eight calderas, central TVZ has been the most frequently active and productive active since 1.6 Ma, occupy 45% of the Boundaries of region of rhyolitic volcanism on earth (Houghton et al., 1994). calderas arc often speculative, but of 20 geothermal systems producing an estimated 10 - 15 of rhyolite, and considercd, 15 occur on or next to a caldera margin where there is subordinate dacite, andesite and basalt. Debate continues whether enhanced deep permeability: the best examples are at Haroharo TVZ is a migrating andesitic arc and zone of asymmetric crustal where systems occur at the intersection of volcanic lineations and spreading (eg. Stem, or an andesite-dacite arc with bimodal caldera embayments, and at Rotorua. Drillhole evidence supports rhyolite-basalt back arc (eg. Cole, 1990). Whichever is the case, a realignment of caldera margin through the Wairakei- it is a matter of observation that most geothermal fields are geothermal field. Four geothermal systems have no known contained within the area of rhyolite volcanism.

LOWE and Adrian PITTARI ［Received 9 June, 2020; Accepted 13 August, 2020］ Abstract The Taupō eruption, also known as eruption Y, occurred in late summer to early autumn （typically late March to early April） in AD 232 10 yr at Taupō volcano, an ‘inverse’ caldera volcano underlying Lake Taupō in the central Taupō Volcanic Zone, North Island, Aotearoa New Zealand. The complex rhyolitic eruption, the most powerful eruption globally in the last 5000 years, lasted between several days and several weeks and generated five markedly contrasting pyroclastic fall deposits（ units Y1 to Y5） followed by the extremely violent emplacement of a low-aspect-ratio ignimbrite（ unit Y6）. The fall deposits include three phreatomagmatic units, Y1, Y3, and Y4, the latter two being the products of archetypal phreatoplinian events; and two magmatic units, Y2 and Y5, the latter being the product of an exceptionally powerful plinian （previously described as ‘ultraplinian’） event with an extreme magma discharge rate around 108 to 1010 kg s-1. The pyroclastic fall-generating eruptions were followed by the climactic emplace- ment of the entirely non-welded Taupō ignimbrite（ Y6）. It was generated by the catastrophic collapse of the 35 to 40-km-high plinian eruption column（ Y5） that produced a very-fast-moving （600 to 900 km h-1）, hot（ up to 500°C） pyroclastic flow（ density current） that covered about 20,000 km2 of central North Island over a near-circular area ~160 km in diameter, centred on Lake Taupō, in fewer than about ten to 15 minutes.

    EDUCATORS GUIDE 02 | Supervolcanoes Volcanism is one of the most creative and destructive processes on our planet. It can build huge mountain ranges, create islands rising from the ocean, and produce some of the most fertile soil on the planet. It can also destroy forests, obliterate buildings, and cause mass extinctions on a global scale. To understand volcanoes one must first understand the theory of plate tectonics. Plate tectonics, while generally accepted by the geologic community, is a relatively new theory devised in the late 1960’s. Plate tectonics and seafloor spreading are what geologists use to interpret the features and movements of Earth’s surface. According to plate tectonics, Earth’s surface, or crust, is made up of a patchwork of about a dozen large plates and many smaller plates that move relative to one another at speeds ranging from less than one to ten centimeters per year. These plates can move away from each other, collide into each other, slide past each other, or even be forced beneath each other. These “subduction zones” are generally where the most earthquakes and volcanoes occur.

    A Directory of Wetlands in New Zealand TONGARIRO/TAUPO CONSERVANCY Lake Taupo (24) Location: 175°55'E, 38°47'S. In the centre of North Island. Area: c.61,500 ha. Altitude: 357 m. Overview: Lake Taupo is a deep, windswept, volcanic lake, the largest in the southern hemisphere. Its waters support abundant life, particularly aquatic plants and fish, while the lake and its associated environs support a host of waterfowl. The lake is noted for the clarity of its waters, and provides scenic vistas and fishing opportunities for local people and visitors alike. It is at the centre of the region's economy, as it supports an internationally renown recreational fishery, and its protection dictates land use throughout the catchment. A large wetland on the southern shore of the lake, South Taupo Wetland, is described separately as Site 25. Physical features: The lake is a large volcanic caldera, the result of a depression formed with the uplifting and down faulting of the central North Island mountain ranges, which have undergone frequent and often violent volcanic activity. It is surrounded by pumice terraces. Today, water levels are manipulated for hydro-electric power generation. Control gates at the lake's outflow regulate discharge which ranges from nil to 330 cubic metres per second. The lake has a catchment area of some 328,930 ha, and is the source of New Zealand's longest river, the Waikato. The Waikato River is important for hydro-electric power generation as well as a variety of domestic, recreational, industrial and agricultural users along its entire length of 450 km.

Nativity once in the main of light Crawls to maturity, wherewith being crowned, Crooked eclipses 'gainst his glory fight, And time that gave, doth now his gift confound. Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth, delves the And parallels in beauties brow ; Feeds on the rarities of nature's truth, And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow. And yet to times in hope, my verse shall stand. Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand." Shakespear, 872900 CONTENTS. BOOK I. CANTO I.—The Introduction. CANTO II.—The History of Southampton.
