Geochemical fingerprinting to target sediment sources in the Oreti catchment
5 July 2020
Sediment fingerprinting is a technique for understanding where sediment entering our streams and rivers comes from. The technique utilizes properties of soils and sediments, like their geochemistry, to characterize different erosion sources and determine their relative contributions to the sediment ...

Test - Temporal Erosion and Sediment Transport Model
5 July 2020
Since European settlement in New Zealand, large-scale catchment disturbance has led to increased erosion rates and the delivery of fine sediment to rivers, lakes and estuaries.

Landslides, Erosion, and Insurance Claims
5 July 2020
Erosion in New Zealand has many social and economic impacts, such as reduced soil fertility and productivity, decreased carbon sequestration, sediment impacts in water bodies, and damage to properties and infrastructure.
