Volcanic glass from the 1.8 ka Taupō eruption (New Zealand) detected in Antarctic ice at ~ 230 CE [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Chemical anomalies in polar ice core records are frequently linked to volcanism; however, without the presence of (crypto)tephra particles, links to specific eruptions remain speculative.

Growth at the limits: comparing trace metal limitation of a freshwater cyanobacterium (Dolichospermum lemmermannii) and a freshwater diatom (Fragilaria crotonensis) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Freshwater phytoplankton blooms are increasing in prevalence and there are conflicting views on whether trace metals limit growth of key species and thus bloom formation.

Thermophilic methane oxidation is widespread in Aotearoa-New Zealand geothermal fields [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Geothermal areas represent substantial point sources for greenhouse gas emissions such as methane. While it is known that methanotrophic microorganisms act as a biofilter, decreasing the efflux of methane in most soils to the atmosphere, the diversity ...

Factors Influencing Emergence Timing Patterns of Long‐Tailed Bats in Exotic and Native Forest in New Zealand [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionUnderstanding temporal behavioural patterns in animals can be crucial to their conservation management. Emergence timing in bats, that is, the decision on when to depart day‐roosts for foraging, is one such example and is well studied in Northern ...

A genus in the bacterial phylum Aquificota appears to be endemic to Aotearoa-New Zealand [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsAllopatric speciation has been difficult to examine among microorganisms, with prior reports of endemism restricted to sub-genus level taxa. Previous microbial community analysis via 16S rRNA gene sequencing of 925 geothermal springs from the Taupō ...

Stretching, Shaking, Inflating: Volcanic-Tectonic Interactions at a Rifting Silicic Caldera
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Silicic caldera volcanoes are frequently situated in regions of tectonic extension, such as continental rifts, and are subject to periods of unrest and/or eruption that can be triggered by the interplay between magmatic and tectonic processes.

Model structure and ensemble size: Implications for predictions of groundwater age
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 This paper examines the influence of simplified vertical discretization using 50- to four- layer models and ensemble size on history matching and predictions of groundwater age for a national scale model of New Zealand (approximately 265,000 km2).
