New Zealand’s Southern Alps superficially appear especially suited for the investigation of predisposing debris flow controls. The steep topography, extensive regolith reservoirs, and relatively frequent high intensity rainfall events create an ideal environment for debris flow development. Debris flow tracks are common features throughout the Southern

The main controlling factor is temtimberline has been reconstructed in the perature of the growing season.

Active tectonics of the eastern Southern Alps
2023Current tectonic activity in the eastern Southern Alps is driven by the ongoing collision of Adria with Europe at a rate of ca. 2-3 mm/yr. While the South Alpine Front is well-studied, the deformation in the hinterland of the orogenic front is still not well-understood.

Thermal modeling of the Southern Alps, New Zealand
pure and applied geophysics, 1996Finite-element modeling of the thermal regime across the Southern Alps of New Zealand has been carried out along two profiles situated near the Franz Josef and Haast valleys. The modeling involves viscous deformation beneath the Southern Alps, including both uplift and erosion, and crustal/lithospheric thickening, as a result of crustal shortening ...

The New Zealand Southern Alps Experiment
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1996The Southern Alps Experiment is being mounted to study the influence of New Zealand's Southern Alps on local weather and climate. This paper describes these alpine influences and outlines proposed field and modeling experiments. Experiment goals include understanding and quantifying factors that govern the intensity and spatial distribution of heavy ...

Southern Alps in Italy: Venetian Pre-Alps
2008The Palaeogene of the Southern Alpine area of NW Italy encompasses parts of the Trentino-Alto Adige and Veneto Regions. At the beginning of the Cenozoic, this area was subdivided into two basins which are roughly separated by the present-day north–south alignment of the Brenta River.

Tectonics of the Dolomites (southern alps, northern Italy)
Journal of Structural Geology, 1987Abstract In post-Variscan times the Dolomites underwent a number of tectonic events, which may be summarized as follows: Permian and Triassic rifting phases broke the area into NS trending basins with different degrees of subsidence. A Middle Triassic transpressive event then deformed the region along a N70°E axis, generating flower structures ...

Biota of a subalpine springbrook in the Southern Alps
New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, 1979The flora and fauna of a subalpine springbrook at Cass in the Southern Alps of New Zealand was studied from April 1975 to January 1976. Spring water was moderately hard (30.0 g.m. ‐3 ), with high concentrations of dissolved oxygen (> 90% saturation) and carbon dioxide (5–14 g.m

Geomorphology of the Central and Southern Alps
1997The geomorphology of the centraI sector of the Italian Alps has many interesting aspects. Some of these are: the relationship between the morphology of the territory and the geological structure; the morphology modelled by glaciers; the morphological evidences of neo-tectonics and the great landslides, which are typical of an alpine environment.

Vegetalisation of badlands in southern Alps
1986Les actions de restauration des terrains en montagne (RTM) conduites dans la seconde moitié du 19ème siècle et au début du 20ème avaient permis de mettre au point, de façon souvent empirique et progressive, des méthodes et techniques efficaces d'intervention dans les domaines du reboisement, de la correction torrentielle, et de la revégétalisation d ...
