title: Movement on hidden faults within the Hamilton Basin

authors: Moon, Vicki G.

abstract: In May last year Drs Moon and de Lange presented evidence at a School of Science Seminar for the presence of faulting within the surface deposits of the Hamilton Basin, and speculated on the presence of 4 fault zones that may have been active during the last 250,000 years. Since then, with the support of an EQC grant and funding from the Waikato Regional Council, further progress has been made on identifying the location of hidden faults. The results of shallow seismic and initial resistivity surveys indicate more than 20 faults cross the Waikato River, and combined with LiDAR data, the evidence shows that some have been active during the last 16,000 years. Data from oil, gas and coal exploration surveys of the deeper geology of the basin combined with the surface data have shown a pattern of normal listric faults extending from the basement to the surface, which explain the pattern of low hills within the basin. Sites for more intensive investigations using resistivity, GPR, and trenching have been identified, which will be used to determine the faulting history and better constrain the frequency and magnitude of earthquakes for seismic hazard assessment.

title: Barry Barclay: the Reflection of Maori and Pakeha Identities

authors: Hilal, Emad Jabbar

subjects: emad

abstract: This Media and Screen Studies thesis tries to investigate the identifications of Barry Barclay (1944-2008) - a New Zealand filmmaker, thinker and poet, of Māori and Pākeha ethnic background - who identified as Māori in the second part of his career, in the mid 1970s. The thesis relies on Barclay's writing and other historical and theoretical material in the reading of his own films. The thesis arrives at an argument that even when Barclay chose to identify more with the Māori side of his identity, the Pākeha side took part also in the shaping of his film practices. Studying Barry Barclay along this line of argument has several benefits for Screen Studies. It, on the one hand, covers what is left unstudied by the scholarship concerning his representation of the Māori world such as the way he commented on Māori cultural and social concerns and acheivements in his films. The thesis studies Barclay's films from the time he started his identification with his Māori  side in Tangaata Whenua (1974), Te Urewera (1987), Ngati (1987),Te Rua (1991) and takes The Kaipara Affair (2005) as a case study and a carrier of change in film practices and development in outlook.The other important contribution is the way he represented Pākeha, and how he developed his representation of them in time. This representation which is unstudied at all, is important to Screen Studies becuase it contributes to Barclay's theory of Fourth Cinema. This thesis shows how representing Pakeha, especially in Barclay's last film problemematizes his theory of Fourth Cinema, but ultimately, deals with applies it creatively. The representation of Pākeha gives insight into Barclay's interest in the Māori world, which is not a dogma or a merely ethnic affiliation as much as an attraction to a world-view that can solve major universal issues such as environmental problems. Above all, the way how Barclay worked out this representation in his films sheds light on one of the important examples of how film can take part in healing social damages such as the history of colonizing and marginalization of Māori people.
