Vegetation cover is an important factor influencing the occurrence and movement of rainfall-
triggered landslides, and changes to vegetation cover often result in modified landslide …

Recent archaeological research has fundamentally altered our understanding of the scope
of past human impacts on nondomesticated animal populations. Predictions derived from …

Over the last decade there has been an intense debate as to whether New Zealand
prehistory is 'long'(> 1500yr),'short'(< 600yr) or 'intermediate'(c. 1000yr). Pollen and charcoal …

Tephras are important for the NZ-INTIMATE project because they link all three records
comprising the composite inter-regional stratotype developed for the New Zealand climate …

The role of tephras in the NZ-INTIMATE project is a critical one because most high-
resolution palaeoclimatic records are linked and dated by one or more tephra layers. In this …

Tephrochronology is the study of volcanic ash (tephra) beds for the purpose of correlating
and dating volcanic and other geologic events. Large magnitude silicic eruptions can …

Cultural landscapes are usually understood within physical geography as those transformed
by human action. As human influence on the earth increases, advances in palaeocological …
