title: Heavy metal contamination in some soils of the McMurdo Sound region, Antarctica

authors: Claridge, G.G.C.

subjects: copper

abstract: Soil samples from eight sites at Marble Point and Pram Point, McMurdo Sound region, contaminated by human activities were examined for heavy metal content, using sequential extraction methods. The redistribution of lead, zinc and copper arising from point sources of these metals was demonstrated. The levels found are not considered to represent serious pollution but do indicate that human activities can change the chemistry of the Antarctic environment in localized areas.

title: Science, values and people: The three factors that will define that next generation of international conservation agreements

authors: Gillespie, Alexander

subjects: Conservation

abstract: This brief paper is concerned with three emerging issues that will, individually and collectively, deﬁne the way in which international conservation law moves forward in the coming decades. This paper is not focused upon the large-scale policy gaps in this area, such as those relating to conservation on the high seas, compliance deﬁcits or emerging environmental threats such as nutrient pollution. Rather, it seeks to draw out three issues which run through all conservation agreements. The three issues are those related to the use of science to frame regimes; the use of philosophy to examine the values of what is trying to be achieved; and the use of politics to ensure that local communities are linked to conservation efforts. Consideration of each of these three areas is relatively recent, with none of them being at the forefront of conservation considerations of international importance in the past. In the future, this is likely to change.

title: Kai hea te mana o te reo Māori?

authors: Temara, Pou

subjects: Waiata

abstract: Kai roto i tēnei waiata a Te Matua Tangata e kī ana, he mātauranga ake te ruru rāua ko te heihei i te tangata. E taea ana e te ruru rāua ko te heihei te wehewehe i ngā hāora o te pō, i te mea ko te pō te wā rērere o te ruru, ko te pō te wā e tangi ai tōna reo. He mea hanga te ruru mō te pō. Ko tā te heihei he nehu atu i te pō, he whakaō, he karanga i te awatea ki te ao. Kua eke mai te tuarā nui o awatea, kua oho te ao, kua hoki te ruru ki tōna puta, kua ketuketu ko te heihei. Ka pō, kua hoki ko te heihei ki tōna taumatua, kua oho ko te ruru.
