title: An evaluation of Te Rau Puawai workforce 100: Academic mentor's perspectives

authors: Nikora, Linda Waimarie

subjects: Maori students

abstract: To evaluate the Te Rau Puawai programme, the Ministry of Health commissioned the
Maori and Psychology Research Unit of the University of Waikato in July 2001. The
overall aim of the evaluation was to provide the Ministry with a clearer understanding
of the programme including: the perceived critical success factors, the barriers if any
regarding Te Rau Puawai, the impact of the programme, the extent to which the
programme may be transferable, gaps in the programme, and suggested
improvements.
As an integral component of the Te Rau Puawai programme and as a specialised
source of support, academic mentors were identified as an important group to receive
comment from. This report documents the evaluative exchange that occurred by way
of email questionnaire, that we had with 18 out of 46 academic mentors of Te Rau
Puawai bursars in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences responded to our
questionnaire.

title: Legal, business and comparative issues in mining and petroleum activity with respect to Māori matters

authors: Barton, Barry

abstract: In this paper I propose to do three things: to identify the very different implications of the different stages of the mining and the oil and gas sequence, to discuss the basics of the Crown Minerals Act and associated legislation, with particular reference to Māori interests, and to touch on a few points of comparison with Canada.

title: Why does Tauranga Harbour exist?

authors: de Lange, Willem P.

abstract: Within the Bay of Plenty, Tauranga and Ohiwa Harbours are unusual in that their hypsometry indicates that they are less mature estuaries than the rest of the estuaries in the region, which is not consistent with the assumption that the Tauranga Harbour is being impacted by increased sedimentation due to changing land use over the last 200 years. The evolution of estuary hypsometry is a function of the estuarine hydrodynamics (currents and waves), sediment supply, and vertical land movements. Focussing on Tauranga Harbour, recent studies have shown most of the harbour, particularly the lower intertidal and sub-tidal areas, has low to very low sedimentation rates (<1 mm/y). Observations and previous studies also indicate that waves combined with tidal currents are effective at flushing fine sediment from unconfined areas of the harbour. The predominant supply of coarser sediment to the harbour, beyond the flood tidal deltas at the harbour entrances, is erosion of volcaniclastic materials around the shoreline, and there appears to be minimal transport of sand derived within the harbour to the open coast. There is no unequivocal evidence of an increase in sedimentation in response to modern land use changes. Shallow seismic reflection survey data and limited exposures in coastal cliffs indicate that potentially active faults are present within the harbour. Differential rates of sea level rise within the harbour, and archaeological evidence, suggest that vertical land movements are on going and contribute to increasing accommodation space within the Harbour. Therefore, Tauranga Harbour exists as a mesotidal lagoon due to a restricted sediment supply, a hydrodynamic regime that exports fine sediments from the harbour, and subsidence that increases the sediment storage capacity of the main basins. These factors have implications for coastal hazards and the management of Tauranga Harbour.
