Mineralogy and Formation of a Platinum Placer Deposit, Southern South Island, New Zealand
Placer platinum group minerals (PGM), with subordinate detrital gold, have been concentrated in Pleistocene coastal sands near the present Foveaux Strait shoreline. This study characterises the PGM in what is New Zealand's only identified PGM deposit.

We compared temporal variability in dust and loess accretion in New Zealand's South Island with glacial activity in the central Southern Alps, considered the main mechanism of silt production, in (i) a proximal loess deposit at Barrhill, Rakaia River and (ii) a distal dust record from a peat mire in Central Otago.

The Rangitīkei Valley in the lower North Island of New Zealand contains flights of river terraces that are influenced by changes in sediment supply, stream power and base level associated with Quaternary climate events over the last ∼350 thousand years.

Hyperspectral optical signatures of iron‐limitation in a coastal upwelling system
Abstract Iron‐limitation within the California Current System drives changes in phytoplankton taxonomic composition and photo‐physiology over a range of spatial scales. Here we demonstrate how these iron‐dependent signatures can be resolved, with high spatial resolution, using continuous ship‐board optical measurements.

ABSTRACT Building an understanding of river ecosystems often involves integrating information from different locations, spatial scales and points in time. Geomorphologists and ecologists have long considered ways to explore river ecosystems at different, hierarchical, spatial scales so that features observed locally can be linked to the character of ...

Long‐Term Effects of Low‐Drop Grade Control Structures on Channel Evolution in the Yazoo River Basin
ABSTRACT Channel incision is a widespread problem, especially in river basins that have an extensive history of channel alterations. Because channel incision causes large ecological and economic consequences, the prevention of continued migration of headcuts, defined as a steep change in stream gradient over a short reach, has been the focus of many ...

Successful valley bottom restoration requires an understanding of current and historical conditions determining whether a reach can currently support a multi‐thread or meandering channel, an understanding of reference conditions to assist with design, clear objectives to evaluate design alternatives, and post‐project monitoring of success using a ...

Chronological Study of Fluvial Terraces along the Jusu River, Eastern Korea
A series of fluvial terraces is well developed along the Jusu River flowing into the eastern side of the Taebaek Mts., Korea. Among these terraces, the development of the most well-preserved lower terraces were examined in connection with the climatic and sea-level changes since Last Interglacial by an investigation into the deposits and longitudinal ...

The ability to perform a number of ecosystem functions is degraded by the inappropriate damming of agricultural floodplains (by levee construction) or by the continuous urban expansion, where flood protection is justified but at the cost of affecting the environmental stability of the wider landscape.
