Tectonic evolution of Taranaki Basin, offshore New Zealand, The
The sedimentary architecture of the Taranaki Basin, located primarily offshore of northwestern New Zealand, reveals the structural and stratigraphic response to the region’s polyphase tectonic history. Using Schlumberger’s Petrel software, 2D and 3D seismic data are structurally and …

The Archaeology of a military frontier: Taranaki, New Zealand, 1860-1881
… European military frontier in the province of Taranaki, New Zealand, in the years 1860-1881. In this period a series of four campaigns resulted in the expansion of European settlement at the expense of the indigenous Maori people. The First Taranaki War (1860-61) did not resolve the fundamental …

3D seismic attribute analysis and machine learning for reservoir characterization in Taranaki Basin, New Zealand
<p>"The Kapuni group within the Taranaki Basin in New Zealand is a potential petroleum reservoir. The objective of the study includes building a sequential approach to identify different geological features and facies sequences within the strata, through visualizing the targeted formations by …

Submarine channelforms and fans in the Miocene Moki and Mount Messenger formations, Taranaki Basin, New Zealand
Taranaki Basin (New Zealand) contains a Late Cretaceous – Cenozoic sedimentary succession up to 9 kilometres thick. Neogene strata are volumetrically a significant part of the basin fill. During the late-Middle Miocene a new sediment source, arising from the onset of uplift and erosion of the …

Sequence stratigraphic framework of the Miocene Mt. Messenger formation deep-water clastics, north Taranaki Basin, New Zealand
Includes bibliographical references (pages 126-131).

Seismic Facies Mapping for Source Rock Distribution of the Rakopi Formation in Deep-water Taranaki Basin, New Zealand
<p>The Taranaki Basin is located off the coast of the north island of New Zealand and is currently the only producing basin in New Zealand. Hydrocarbon accumulation in the Tui, Maari, and Maui fields is sourced to the Late Cretaceous and Paleogene units. Exploration of these units has extended from …

Subsurface stratigraphy and petrology of a cool-water carbonate fracture reservoir - the mid-tertiary Tikorangi Formation, Taranaki Basin, New Zealand
… Oligocene-Early Miocene Tikorangi Formation in Taranaki Basin is New Zealand’s only commercially-producing fractured-carbonate reservoir, but is poorly understood in a stratigraphic-sedimentological-diagenetic context. Based on correlation between laboratory and geophysical well log data a …

Characteristics and evolution of a dynamic prograding continental margin: the late Neogene Giant Foresets Formation, northern Taranaki Basin, New Zealand
… of the modem continental margin in northern Taranaki Basin. The dynamic evolution of this formation is fundamentally linked to a Pliocene-Pleistocene increase in sediment flux sourced from South Island, to extensional graben formation in northern Taranaki Basin, to flexural subsidence in …

Gut content analysis of trapped mustelids and trend analysis for ship rats and stoats over six trapping seasons at Mount Taranaki : A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Natural Resource Management and Ecological Engineering at Lincoln University
… weasels and five ferrets were examined from Mt Taranaki and 82 stoats, 25 weasels and 28 ferrets from the surrounding farmland (ring-plain). There was a significant difference in the gut contents of the mustelids caught on Mt Taranaki and the ring-plain. It was found that 94% of stoats sampled …

The biogeography and trophic roles of coastal marine sponges (Porifera) from the west coast of the North Island, New Zealand: Influences of catchments.
… and identification for inshore sponge fauna. The Taranaki region is arguably foremost for consideration, as the coast would likely reflect any shifts in trans-Tasman current systems, and this region has a highly exposed geomorphology making it logistically difficult to conduct dive surveys. …

Clay petrology of Mesozoic to recent sediments of central western North Island, New Zealand
… used. Mesozoic to Recent sediments in Hamilton, Taranaki and Wanganui Districts contain varying amounts of kaolinite, illite, montmorillonite, chlorite and mixed-layer clay minerals. Clay mineral assemblages of mudstones, limestones or concretions, represent best those assemblages existing at the …

Protection of private land under the Reserves Act 1977 : with case studies and examples of protected private land in the Taranaki Land District : [dissertation, Diploma in Parks and Recreation, Lincoln College]
New Zealand has an infinite variety of scenery within a small area : the countryside draws its unique qualities from both natural features and cultural influences. A number of agencies our heritage from destruction. The New Zealand Forest Service follows a policy of conservation and has set up …

The potential effectiveness of eco-n nitrification inhibitor in reducing nitrification rates in a range of key New Zealand dairy pasture soils: A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Agricultural Science with Honours
… New Zealand (Northland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Taranaki, West Coast of the South Island and Southland) when incubated at 10°C. Incubation vessels (10 cm diameter by 15 cm height) were packed with 4 mm sieved soil from the different regions and treated with plus or minus eco-n nitrification …

Coastal and sediment dynamics in a high-energy, rocky environment
… The breakwaters of an artificial harbour (Port Taranaki) interrupt the longshore littoral transport, and dredging and offshore dumping causes “downstream” erosion along the city foreshore. The key study objectives were to investigate the local coastal dynamics, and to examine ways to mitigate …

Temporal and spatial distributions of baleen whales in central New Zealand, based on passive acoustic monitoring
… whales (ABWs). PBWs were detected in the South Taranaki Bight (STB) throughout recording periods, and detection area modelling demonstrated that an aggregation of PBWs likely occurs in the STB; an industrial area. ABWs and humpback whales migrated through central New Zealand seasonally, with …

Whānau Pakari: a multi-disciplinary intervention for children and adolescents with weight issues
… for children and adolescents with obesity in Taranaki, Aotearoa/New Zealand, using a mixed methods approach, incorporating a randomised clinical trial. Whānau Pakari means “healthy, self-assured families that are fully active”. The programme specifically targeted those over-represented in …
