Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

An Overview of Tsunami Hazards in the Southwest Pacific Ocean

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
The southwest Pacific region is geologically complex and exhibits all the principal causes of tsunami generation. While contemporary events and historical catalogs indicate that trans‐Pacific tsunamis have affected this area (∼18% of tsunamis reported globally), it is unique in that a large part of the tsunami effects over the ∼200‐year historical ...

Low Hazard–High Risk: A Case Study of the Active Mangatangi Fault

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Activity on low deformation rate faults are challenging to quantify and comparatively understudied. One such fault, the Mangatangi Fault, strikes NE‐SW along the southeastern flanks of the Hunua Ranges c. 52 km south of New Zealand's most populous city, Auckland.

Holocene Slip Behavior and Shallow Structure of the Milun Fault at the Collision–Subduction Transition, Eastern Taiwan

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
The Milun Fault forms the northernmost onshore segment of the Longitudinal Valley fault system, a plate‐boundary suture between the Eurasian and Philippine Sea plates in eastern Taiwan, and poses a significant seismic hazard to Hualien City. Despite destructive earthquakes in 1951 and 2018, the shallow structure, long‐term slip behavior, and ...

The contrasting effects of vegetation height and density on flow and turbulence in a patch of vegetation

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Coastal vegetation often grows in spatially distributed patches. However, the influence of individual vegetation patches on small‐scale hydrodynamics has not been well characterized under natural conditions with tidally varying water depths.
