Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand
New 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.

Magnitude and frequency relations: are there geological constraints to the rockfall size? [PDF]
, 2018 The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007%2Fs10346-017-0910-zThere exists a transition between rockfalls, large rock mass failures, and rock avalanches.

An Overview of Tsunami Hazards in the Southwest Pacific Ocean
New 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 ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.Abstract The processes of ice incorporation into rock glaciers have been difficult to quantify in both permafrost and non‐permafrost conditions. Here, we develop a numerical model that regardless of the presence of permafrost, reveals how debris eroded from hillslopes and deposited on snow can add ice mass to rock glaciers in pulses.

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 4, April 2026.Mineral and organic landslides from the BGS landslide database were each clustered into three distinct groups using landslide‐slope angle, rainfall on the day of the landslide, cumulative rainfall and soil texture. Differences between organic and mineral landslides as well as between landslide clusters were interpreted from a mechanistic viewpoint ...

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 284-304, April/June 2026.ABSTRACT Across circumpolar permafrost regions, climate change is destabilizing ice‐rich hillslopes, increasing the frequency and magnitude of thaw‐driven mass wasting. This paper reviews recent studies (2013–2024) on thaw‐driven mass wasting, focusing on the processes, morphology and trajectories of geomorphic change and their implications for ...

Debris Accumulation Patterns on Talus Slopes in Surprise Valley, Alberta [PDF]
, 1988 This paper presents the results of the measurement of debris accumulation processes, patterns and volumes at seven sites over a 13-year period in Surprise Valley, Alberta, Canada. Mean accumulation rates range up to ca 5 mm/yr and are strongly influenced
