title: Observations, effects and real time assessment of the March 11, 2011 Tohoku-oki Tsunami in New Zealand

authors: Borrero, Jose

subjects: Tsunami

abstract: The great Tohoku-oki earthquake of March 11, 2011 generated a devastating tsunami in the near field as well as substantial far-field effects throughout the Pacific Ocean. In New Zealand, the tsunami was widely observed and instrumentally recorded on an extensive array of coastal tidal gauges and supplemented by current velocity data from two sites. While the tsunami's first arrival was on the morning of March 12 in New Zealand, the strongest effects occurred throughout that afternoon and into the following day. Tsunami effects consisted primarily of rapid changes in water level and associated strong currents that affected numerous bays, harbors, tidal inlets and marine facilities, particularly on the northern and eastern shores of the North Island. The tsunami caused moderate damage and significant overland flooding at one location. The tsunami signal was clearly evident on tide gauge recordings for well over 2 days, clearly illustrating the extended duration of far field tsunami hazards. Real time analysis and modelling of the tsunami through the night of March 11, as the tsunami crossed the Pacific, was used as a basis for escalating the predicted threat level for the northern region of New Zealand. A comparison to recorded data following the tsunami shows that these real time prediction models were accurate despite the coarse near-shore bathymetry used in the assessment, suggesting the efficacy of such techniques for future events from far-field sources.

title: Te kura o Ruatoki 1896 - 1979

authors: Williams, Kim Reina Reremoana

subjects: Ruatoki Native School

abstract: Ko tēnei tuhinga roa e kōrero ana mō te Kura o Ruatoki i roto i te rohe o te iwi o Tūhoe. I whakatūria he kura i te tau 1896 i runga i te inoi a ngā Koroua ki te Kāwanatanga o taua wā.
Hai te Upoko tuatahi, ka whakatakotoria ngā kōrero mō te āhua o te whenua, ngā tāngata me ā rātau nekeneke. Tutū ana te puehu i runga i ngā whakatū waewae ki te iwi, ki te Pākehā hoki mō taua whenua.
Hai te Upoko tuarua ka takoto ngā kōrero mō te heke o ngā pānui o ngā inoi, ngā reta a ngā Koroua ki te Kāwanatanga mō te whakatū i tētahi Kura i Ruatoki. Te nuinga o ēnei rauemi i rangahaua, i kitea, i te Whare pukapuka o Pōneke. Ko ētahi i te Whare pukapuka o Tāmaki. Ka tau te tono, ka kitea te tūtukitanga o te ao Pākehā ki te ao Māori, otirā, kua puta te kaupapa i whakatūria ake ai te kura hei whakatangata whenua i ngā tāngata, i ngā aronga hinengaro Māori kia rite ki tō te Pākehā.
Hai te Upoko tuatoru ka tirohia ko ngā tuhinga a ngā Tumuaki mai i te tau 1896 ki te tau 1979 mō te Kura o Ruatoki. Ka kite i roto i ā rātau tirohanga te āhua o tā rātau kaihautū i te rerenga o te kaupapa nei. Ko ngā kaihautū i te waka nei, he tūmau noa nā te Kāwanatanga hai whakatō i te Pākehātanga ki roto i te whatumanawa Māori.
He tini o te whārua i hinga i roto i ēnei tau i runga i ngā mate urutī, mate tauhou i pā ki roto i te whārua. Ahakoa tērā ka tukuna tonu ngā tamariki ki te kura i runga i te whakapono he oranga ka puta mai i reira. I te tau 1946 ka tū he kura tuarua, he Māori District High School. Ko te nuinga o ngā tamariki o Tawera rāua ko Ruatoki i haere mai ki tēnei kura. Tokoiti ia tau i whiwhi karahipi mō te haere ki ngā kura hāhi o Tīpene rāua ko Wikitōria. Tērā pea he tango atu i ēnei tamariki mai i ngā āhuatanga Māori o te whārua.
Hai te upoko tuawhā, ka whakakorehia te kura tuarua. Ko ngā take mō te katinga ka āta whakamāramahia. He mahi nanakia nā te tari Mātauranga me āna āpiha i runga i ngā nekeneke mō tēnei kaupapa.
Hai te Upoko tuarima ka whakarerekēhia ngā marautanga ako kia tau ko te kaupapa ako i roto i ngā reo e rua ki roto i te kura. He whakautu tēnei i te kōrero a Richard Benton o te N.Z.C.E.R e kī ana, "Kāore e roa ka ngaro te reo Māori." Koinei te wā i whakapihihia ake ai te kaupapa ako i roto i ngā reo e rua, ā, ka tiritiria ko te kaupapa Rumaki Reo.
Hai te Upoko tuaono ko te kōhuretanga o te kaupapa Māori me te puāwaitanga o ngā hinengaro me ngā wairua o ngā tamariki ki te āhua o te ako i ā rātau mahi i roto i tō rātau ake reo. I tīmatahia te kaupapa i te tau 1977. Tae rawa atu ki ngā tau o muri mai kua kitea kē te huringa o ngā ngākau ki te ako.
Hai te Upoko tuawhitu ka whakaatahia mai ngā whakanekeneke i raro i tēnei kaupapa. He nui ngā tutukitanga ki ngā ture i te whakatūtanga o ngā Kura mō Āpōpō.
Hei whakarāpopototanga i ngā moemoeā me ngā tūmanako ka titiro ake ki ngā waru tekau tau kua pahemo. Kua turuki ki te pō, ki te ao. Kua noho te pukenga o te kupu kōrero, kua taipū ngā kaupapa. Ko taku mahi he whakarārangi i ngā pikinga i ngā hekenga i ngā āhuatanga katoa i mahia i roto i tēnei kura mai kore ka kitea atu he māramatanga he huarahi rānei e tiketike ake ai ngā mahi ako, ngā akoranga, ki ēnei o ā tātau mokopuna o Ngāi Tūhoe e tipu mai nei. Nō reira ka hoki rawa ngā kauhau ki ērā i whakatakotohia mai e ngā mātua tīpuna. Ka tīkina atu te kōrero i reira hai whakatinana i ngā tūmanako mō te wharekura o Ruatoki i tēnei wā.
