title: Transport of turbulence in the solar wind

authors: Bishop, Mark

subjects: Solar Wind -- Mathematical models

abstract: Charged particles are ejected from the sun and transported radially outward to the edge of the solar system, this plasma is called the solar wind. In the solar wind, turbulent fluctuations and waves form, and their transport can be modelled using the Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations. This thesis displays several different options for building an MHD turbulence model including nonlinear phenomenologies, and turbulence source driving like interstellar pickup ions and velocity shear. The options are extended from existing models that express a range of variables from the forward and backward propagating energies, the energy difference and the respective correlation lengths. Non-linear phenomenologies are built from analogies to Hydrodynamic (HD) von Kármán-Taylor phenomenologies extended to MHD. Additional phenomenological models are needed for the energy difference (and its correlation length). These models are evaluated from 0.29 to 100 AU, analytically where possible, otherwise numerical solutions are sought after and compared to simulation data, and satellite data obtained from the Helios 2, Ulysses and Voyager 2 spacecraft.

title: Planning the urban foodscape: Policy and regulation of urban agriculture in Aotearoa New Zealand

authors: Hanna, Christina Jane

abstract: Policy support for urban agriculture (UA) has increased internationally in the past decade, driven by factors such as urban decay, food insecurity, climate change and disasters, self-determination efforts and the Covid-19 pandemic. To date, there has been little analysis of the emergent practices across different cities in Aotearoa New Zealand. To address this gap, we examine key aspects of UA in Aotearoa and assess the application of local plans and regulation to determine how UA is defined and treated in the four most populous cities. The results reveal a lack of specific attention to and policy direction for UA. This vacuum is compounded by purpose-driven zoning typologies, restrictive resource use controls, scant provision for Māori food practices and a failure to keep pace with the changing forms of UA. The results identify the need for cities to review and clarify provision for UA, to create greater certainty and where appropriate, facilitation of food sovereignty and diverse urban foodscapes.
