Holocene Lake Sediments Reveal Alluvial Fan History With Links to Climate, Wildfire, and Earthquakes
Abstract Flood hazards along alluvial rivers vary over time due to changes in both flow regime and channel morphology; however, their millennial‐scale histories are difficult to study from incomplete and poorly dated alluvial stratigraphies. Thus, the role of external forcings (e.g., climate) in the magnitude of alluvial channel dynamics remains poorly

Comparing vegetative effects of domestic stock and feral goats as ungulate herbivores in Waingaro: Year 1 results [PDF]
Fencing remnant native vegetation has become a widespread activity throughout New Zealand to increase native biodiversity. However, there have not been many studies to show if this is an effective approach when feral goats (Capra hircus) are present. The
