title: Active Tephra in Kyushu 2010: International field conference

authors: Holt, Katherine A.

abstract: In May of 2010 the inter-congress meeting of the INQUA International Focus Group on Tephrochronology and Volcanism (INTAV) was held in Kirishima City, Japan. INTAV was formed in 2007 at the International Union for Quaternary Research (INQUA) congress held in Cairns. It replaced SCOTAV (Sub-commission on tephrochronology and volcanism), COT (Commission on tephrochronology), and earlier groups dating back to the 1960s. 
76 participants from 11 countries attended the INTAV-J meeting (Figure 1). The venue of the meeting was the Kokobu Civic Centre, which was very generously provided essentially free of charge by the Kirishima City authorities (in return for the delivery of two public lectures, one by David Lowe and the other by tephra/ volcano guru of Japan, Hiroshi Machida, on Sunday 9 May). Participants were treated to a personal welcome by the Mayor of Kirishima City, Shuji Maeda, followed by what appeared to be a very special (and delicious) banquet. However, this spread turned out to be standard lunch and dinner fare provided by the Civic Centre cafeteria and was enjoyed by participants on several occasions during the meeting. Mayor Maeda graciously invited the entire conference group to his personal residence for another spectacular banquet on Monday evening which included the use of dining ‘rooms’ in caves cut into the c. 30 cal. ka Ito ignimbrite. Traditional Kagoshima fare was put on, accompanied by the local alcohol ‘sho-chu’, which is made from fermented sweet potato and is not altogether unlike its Russian cousin vodka

title: The significance of spatial scale: Informing land use planning through effective flood hazard and risk mapping

authors: Serrao-Neumann, Silvia

abstract: Effective land use planning for flood risk management in Aotearoa New Zealand hinges on the production and application of fit-for-purpose flood hazard and risk maps at the appropriate spatial scale. National guidance is crucial to ensure consistency and clarity in the development, selection and use of these maps across different government levels.

title: Kōura in the Rotorua Te Arawa Lakes and potential effects of catfish

authors: Kusabs, Ian

abstract: I am going to talk about kōura and the novel sampling method we are using, then talk about the population characteristics of kōura in the Rotorua Te Arawa Lakes, including results from my PhD research, the Lake Taupō experience with catfish, which Michel Dedual has more than adequately described, and also future work.
