Tōtara River (Buller District)
The Tōtara River is a river of the northern West Coast Region of New Zealand's South Island. It rises near Mount Kelvin in the Paparoa Range and flows northwest to reach the Tasman Sea 10 kilometres south of Cape Foulwind. The Little Totara River joins the Tōtara just before it reaches the sea.

Tasman Sea
The Tasman Sea is a marginal sea of the South Pacific Ocean, situated between Australia and New Zealand. It measures about 2,000 km (1,200 mi) across and about 2,800 km (1,700 mi) from north to south. The sea was named after the Dutch explorer Abel Janszoon Tasman, who in 1642 was the first known European to cross it. British explorer Lieutenant James Cook later extensively navigated the Tasman Sea in the 1770s during his three voyages of exploration.

The Māori people of New Zealand call this sea Te Moana-a-Rehua meaning 'the sea of Rehua' which clashes with the Pacific waters named Te Tai-o-Whitirea ('the sea of Whitirea') – after Whitirea, Rehua's lover – at Cape Reinga, the northernmost tip of North Island.

Hunter's bend
Hunter's bend (or rigger's bend) is a knot used to join two lines. It consists of interlocking overhand knots, and can jam under moderate strain. It is similar to the Zeppelin bend.

When assessed against other bends in stress tests using paracord, it was found to be "not as strong as the blood knot, similar to the reverse figure of eight and stronger than the fisherman's bend, sheet bend or reef knot".

Fisherman's knot
The fisherman's knot is a bend, in other words a knot for joining two lines. The double fisherman's knot and triple fisherman's knot versions of the knot are variations used in climbing, arboriculture, and search and rescue. The difference between the three variations is the number of turns in the overhand knots that form the completed bend.

The bend consists of two overhand knots in their strangle knot form, each tied around the standing end of the other. For the double fisherman's variation a double overhand knot is used, while the triple variation adds a third turn. The knot is known for its strength and reliability when used correctly.

The (single) fisherman's knot is also known as the angler's knot, English knot, halibut knot, waterman's knot, and true lover's knot. The double fisherman's knot is also known as a grapevine knot.

Geodynamics
Geodynamics is a subfield of geophysics dealing with dynamics of the Earth.

Methods of geodynamics are also applied to exploration of other planets.
