Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Tsunami deposits serve as geological records of past events and are essential for understanding the occurrence and dynamics of tsunamis. However, conventional research has largely focused on sandy and boulder deposits, leaving gravel‐dominated tsunami deposits comparatively underexplored; furthermore, their characteristics and formation ...

Seismic Site Effects in Owhiro Bay Quarry, Wellington: Field Observations and Numerical Modelling
New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.Local topography and geology are well known factors affecting the intensity of seismic shaking. We have investigated the seismic site effects at a site of the Owhiro Bay Quarry in Wellington, New Zealand, using instrumental records and numerical models.

Quantifying the effect of forests on frequency and intensity of rockfalls [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2017 Forests serve as a natural means of protection against small rockfalls. Due to their barrier effect, they reduce the intensity and the propagation probability of falling rocks and thus reduce the occurrence frequency of a rockfall event for a given ...

Detecting Snow Avalanche Activity Using Infrasound: Hooker Valley, New Zealand
New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.Snow avalanches pose considerable hazards to people and infrastructure in alpine environments. Traditional avalanche monitoring relies on meteorological data and visual observations, which can be limited in scope and timeliness. Infrasound offers a promising complementary monitoring tool by detecting the low‐frequency sound waves generated by ...

Loss of life risk due to impacts of boulders on vehicles traveling along a very busy road. [PDF]
, 2017 The paper is aimed to describe the used approach for calculating the risk along a road stretch belonging to a very busy coastal road in Southern Italy. During the time span 1969-2013, 22 rockfalls affecting this road were inventoried.

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.Three‐dimensional landscape changes were investigated in the Kitchener Avalanche Path, Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park, New Zealand, after an extreme storm in July 2022. The Path features an earthen diversion berm constructed in 2018 to mitigate the risk of avalanches to the adjacent Aoraki/Mount Cook Village.
