National discourses specific to Aotearoa/New Zealand — for example, biculturalism, which reimagines Māori-Pākehā relations as a partnership based on the Treaty of Waitangi — help to construct, express, and articulate ...
P(a)lace of Consumption: Architecture, the Revitalisation of Space through Shopping Mall Design Principles

Blue, Zachary (Victoria University of Wellington, 2012)

Architecture can be regarded as both a product for the retail environment and as a medium which can influence change in contemporary society. Within the context of the retail environment, architecture becomes intrinsically ...
Palaeogeography of a Mid Miocene Turbidite Complex, Moki Formation, Taranaki Basin, New Zealand.

Grain, Sarah (Victoria University of Wellington, 2008)

The Moki Formation, Taranaki Basin, New Zealand, is a Mid Miocene (Late Altonian to Early Lillburnian) sand-rich turbidite complex bounded above and below by the massive bathyal mudstone of the Manganui Formation. The Moki ...
A Paleoclimate Reconstruction of the Little Ice Age to Modern Era Climate Conditions in the Eastern Ross Sea, Antarctica as Captured in the RICE Ice Core

Brightley, Hannah (Victoria University of Wellington, 2017)

The Little Ice Age (LIA) (1400-1850 AD) represents one of the most significant climatic shifts over the past 5000 years. Previous studies from Antarctica indicate generally cooler and stormier conditions during this period, ...
Paleoenvironmental analysis of early Eocene marl and limestone alternations from Mead Stream, New Zealand

Peñafiel Bermudez, Sonja (Victoria University of Wellington, 2019)

This study integrates paleonotology and geochemistry to provide a paleoclimatic analysis of cyclic sedimentation in the Lower Marl at Mead Stream in Marlborough, Aotearoa/New Zealand. The alternating marl and limestone ...
Paleoenvironmental analysis of the Hautawa Shellbed, Whanganui Basin

Elliott, Joanna Eveline Grace (Victoria University of Wellington, 2018)

The Hautawa Shellbed, Whanganui Basin is described in detail to uncover lateral variations in depositional paleoenvironment. This was achieved through the in situ documentation of the macrofaunal assemblage and its taphonomic ...
A Paleoenvironmental Interpretation of the Pukenui Limestone and Hautotara Formation, Southeastern Wairarapa, New Zealand

Hobbs, Lockie (Victoria University of Wellington, 2020)

Two sections from the northern part of the Nga-Waka-A-Kupe Range have been documented in detail. Both sections were expected to cut through sediments of Pleistocene age which at the southern end of the range have been ...
Paleo-environmental reconstruction of a Late Quaternary organic-rich section preserved near Ohakune, central North Island, New Zealand

Juchnowicz, Hannah (Victoria University of Wellington, 2014)
