title: Preliminary evaluation of tectonic geomorphological signals within the Hamilton Basin

authors: Spinardi, Francesca

subjects: tectonic geomorphology

abstract: Over the past year several fault traces have been discovered within the Hamilton Basin, prompting a need for further investigation for tectonic evidence in the basin in order to re asses seismic hazards of the basin. Examination of the most recently discovered fault revealed the trace cross cuts the 20,000 ka Hinuera Formation, indicating that the faults within the Basin are active and could potentially experience another seismic event. However, more information is needed to determine the rate of occurrence and potential magnitude of an event. LiDAR and geomorphic data indicates there are potentially up to ten more traces within the Hamilton Basin, but they have yet to be confirmed through geomorphical ground-truth mapping. Both the known fault traces and the potential traces are dominantly NE oriented and appear to be influenced by the surrounding fault systems, such as the Waipa Fault. A large basement depression located in the far northern area of the Hamilton Basin as revealed by seismic line and gravitational data indicates that extensional movement may be related to the faults. To better understand the risk and hazard potential of a seismic event, extensive study and information about the basement terrane and surrounding faults, such as the Waipa Fault, needs to be gathered. It is possible that the fault traces within Hamilton are transtensional splays that have formed to accommodate movement and space between the major fault systems. My project will be examining the inferred fault traces within the Hamilton Basin, as indicated by the geomorphology, seismic line data, existing borehole data, and geological and geomorphical ground-truth mapping. For this the history of the surrounding fault lines, such as their total offset and rate of occurrence, will be investigated in order to understand the behavior of the faults within the Hamilton Basin and the potential hazards they can cause.

title: Geography and gender: feminist geography - a 'critical' time?

authors: Longhurst, Robyn

subjects: feminist geography

abstract: The recent growth in critical geography suggests this may be a ‘critical’ time for raising issues about the intersections between feminist and critical geography. This is not the first time these issues have been aired. For example, the Women and Geography Study Group (1997: 49–85) questions whether feminist geographers ought always to accord primacy to gender as the central analytical category or whether there are instances where gender ought to be decentred and destabilized. My aim in this commentary is to (re)visit some of these arguments in relation to recently published feminist geographical research.

title: Pupuritia ngā purapura i mahue mai rā: Te waiata-ā-ringa 1960 - 1990

authors: Papesch, Te Rita

subjects: Māori history

abstract: I tēnei tuhinga kei te āta titiro ahau ki te waiata-ā-ringa. Kei te hoki ahau ki te tīmatanga, ā, kei te whai ahau i te tipuranga me te oranga o tēnei mea, o te waiata-ā-ringa. Hei āwhina i ahau, kei te titiro ahau ki ētahi o ngā waiata-ā-ringa kua titoa e ngā kaitito mai i te tau 1960 tae noa ki te tau 1990. Kei te whakamārama hoki ahau i te whānui o ngā rerengakētanga o ēnei waiata-ā-ringa. Ka titiro hoki ahau ki te mahi ā ringa āhua reka hoki o ēnei waiata-ā-ringa, arā te mahi ngahau, te mahi whakataetae, te mahi i ēnei waiata-ā-ringa hei kīnaki i ngā whaikōrero, hei kīnaki i ngā kōrero kua kōrerohia i ngā hui, hei taonga pupuri i ngā kōrero o te iwi whānui, mō te iwi whānui me ngā mahi kua mahia i te ao i aua tuangahurutoru o ngā tau.
I tōku tau tuawhā i roto i te Tari Māori o Te Whare Wānanga o Waikato, i haere mātou ngā ākonga me tō mātou kaiwhakaako, me Hirini Melbourne, ki te kōrero ki ngā kaitito rongonui o te motu. I aua wā i hopukina ā rātou kōrero ki te mīhini. I roto i tēnei tuhinga kei te hoki ahau ki ā rātou kōrero i mau i a mātou. Ko ētahi o rātou kei te ora tonu, ko ētahi kua mate kē, kua haere ki tua o te ārai, ki te kāinga tūturu mō tātou katoa. Nō reira, e ngā whaea, nā koutou ahau i awhi, i mirimiri ki ō koutou ringa me ō koutou mōhiotanga ki tēnei taonga a tātou, ki te waiata-ā-ringa, moe mai rā i roto i ngā ringa o Hine-nui-te-pō.
Mai i aua wā i a au e ako ana i roto i te Tari Māori o Te Whare Wānanga o Waikato, i haere hoki ahau ki te pātai atu, ki te kōrero atu ki ētahi atu kaitito. Nā rātou ā rātou whakahoki ki aku pātai i tuhi ki runga i te pepa, ā, i mau hoki ki te rīpene. Nā, kua tae ki te wā me whakapuaki e ahau ōku māramatanga, mōhiotanga hoki ki ā rātou kōrero. Nō reira, e ngā mātua, he mihi kau anō tēnei ki a koutou i whai wā ki te whakahoki i ngā pātai, i ngā tono a tēnei tā koutou mōkai. Kua tukua e koutou tōku reo hei kawe i ō koutou whakaaro mō ā koutou mahi whakahirahira.
Kei te tuhi kōrero hoki ahau hei tautoko i tāku i whakapae, i whakahautia ēnei kaitito e ngā mahi waiata-ā-ringa i Te Tairāwhiti, e ngā tāngata o reira hoki, pērā i a Tā Apirana Ngata, i a Tuini Ngawai, i a wai, i a wai. Hei tautoko i tōku whakapae kua pātai atu ahau ki ēnei kaitito mō ō rātou whakaaro mō tōku whakapae, ā, kua tuhia ō rātou whakaaro.
Kei te whai hoki ahau i ōku whakaaro, mā tēnei taonga, mā te waiata-ā-ringa ka ako ai te tangata i tō tātou reo rangatira me ōna āhuatanga katoa.
Ki ahau nei kei reira, kei ngā waiata-ā-ringa e takoto ana ngā kōrero ātaahua o mua rā, arā, ngā whakataukī, ngā pepeha. Kei reira hoki e mahia ana te reo tūturu, te reo tawhito, tae noa ki te reo o nāianei. He ātaahua katoa ēnei reo, he akoranga hoki mā te tangata.
Ki te pātai mai te tangata, e hia te roa atu o tāku mahi rangahau i tēnei kaupapa, ka whakahoki au ki a ia, mai i te wā tuatahi ka mahi au i te waiata-ā-ringa, tae noa ki tēnei tau tonu, ā, e toru tekau ngā tau au e whakaaro ana, e mahi ana i te waiata-ā-ringa. Kātahi anō au ka whai wā ki te tuhi mō te waiata-ā-ringa.
Nā, hei kōrero whakamutunga, kei te titiro ahau kei whea e tū ana te waiata-ā-ringa i ēnei rā, ā, kei whea hoki e haere ana, ka whai hua anō, ā, ki whea?
Kia ora tātou mō tēnei wā.
