title: Holocene depositional environments and surface-level changes at Lake Fryxell, Antarctica

authors: Whittaker, T. E.

subjects: Dry Valleys

abstract: We report on Holocene surface-level variations of Lake Fryxell, Antarctica, as determined from multi-proxy analyses of 18 sediment cores. During this time accumulating sediments were predominantly aeolian sand with algal and carbonate laminae. Based on stratigraphy, mineralogy and diatom assemblages we suggest some carbonate laminae were deposited when lake level dropped, leading to concentration and subsequent precipitation of salts. Although lake level appears to have remained relatively stable throughout the Holocene, minor (<4.5 m below present) lowstands occurred at approximately 6400, 4700, 3800 and ~ 1600 cal. yr BP. The stability of Lake Fryxell during the Holocene contrasts with large-scale variability at other Dry Valleys lakes (eg, Lake Vanda) and with suggestions from chemical diffusion models of a near-desiccation at ~1200 cal. yr BP. The reason for the comparative stability of Lake Fryxell is uncertain, but may be the result of basin morphology and the number, aspect and proximity of meltwater sources.

title: Stay behind the yellow line: Young children constructing knowledge from an art exhibition

authors: Clarkin-Phillips, Jeanette

subjects: education

abstract: Studies exploring very young children visiting museums and art galleries are few. The majority of research about museum and gallery visitors explores family group interactions. This paper examines the findings of a study involving three- and four-year-old children visiting an art exhibition in a national museum on more than one occasion. The children's construction of knowledge about being a museum visitor and exhibitor indicates their ability to develop an appreciation of art and an understanding of the purposes of museums and art galleries.

title: Eke Panuku, Eke Tangaroa: He Taonga Tuku Iho

authors: Apanui, Ngahiwi

subjects: Panuku

abstract: He aha te Māori? He aha i kīia ai tētahi āhuatanga, tētahi mahi, tētahi tangata, tētahi whakahaere rānei he Māori? Ko te whāinga o te rangahau nei he rapa huarahi e āhei ai te whakautu i ēnei pātai. Me te huhua hoki o te whakaaro mō ēnei pātai, i huri ahau ki ngā mātanga, ngā pūkenga hoki o te ao mātauranga Māori hei taunaki i te whakautu ki te pātai. 
Ka tūhura te rangahau nei i te rētōtanga o te ao Māori, ka titiro hoki ki te āhua i Māori ai ētahi āhuatanga me te whakautu, he ahurea Māori i Māori ai tētahi āhuatanga, tētahi mahi, tētahi tangata, tētahi whakahaere rānei – ko te pū ahurea Māori tēnei. Ka titiro anō hoki te rangahau nei ki te whakaaro Māori hei tūāpapa mō te pū ahurea Māori, te wāhanga ki ngā kaupapa tuku iho me te whakaatu a te tikanga i te kaupapa. 
Ko te hua o te rangahau nei, he tuku i te rauemi e taea ai te tangata te tautuhi me te ine i te pū ahurea Māori hei ārahi i te aromātaitanga o ngā mahi Māori.
