Abstract:

Charles Howard Moore was the Taranaki Education Board Architect from 1920-43. During his tenure Moore developed an open-air classroom design that he called the "Taranaki type"; a design that he claimed was an improvement on the "Fendalton type" of Christchurch. The first Taranaki "fresh air classroom" was opened in New Plymouth in 1928. The "Taranaki type" embraced the principles of natural light and fresh air in an innovative and thoughtful way that took into consideration climatic conditions and the needs of the users. Moore's distinctive design dominated classroom construction throughout the Taranaki region and many of them continue to be used for educational purposes. The New Zealand Historic Places Trust has registered examples of the Taranaki fresh-air classroom and many have been identified by local councils for their architectural and technological values. However, little has been written about CH Moore - his life, training, experiences, and influences. Was he a lone practitioner of the open-air design? Was his design "revolutionary"? Were his classrooms successful? Utilising a variety of archival sources, genealogical research, and comparative analysis, this paper will reveal a more detailed picture of CH Moore and examine his contribution to the design of educational buildings in New Zealand.

Abstract:

Exploration of the Taranaki Basin entered a new phase in 2001 with Astrolabe, a 6,200 km high-quality 2D seismic survey acquired by TGS-NOPEC that has outlined a large depocentre containing up to 10 km of sedimentary fill. This new data has extended the previously-known Taranaki Basin into deeper water beyond the shelf edge. Subsequently, the New Zealand Government released an area of 42,000 km2 for competitive bidding to close in September 2003.Sequence analysis shows that a major deltaic system, comparable to the Golden Beach and Emperor subgroups of the Gippsland Basin, built into a restricted seaway during the Late Cretaceous and culminated with deposition of the Rakopi Formation coal measure succession. The Rakopi Formation covers an area of at least 15,000 km2 of the study area and was followed by a transgression that continued until the Miocene.Minor Eocene folding created broad structures with potential to trap large volumes of petroleum. Other potential trapping structures include drape across Cretaceous rift blocks and turbidite mounds of Miocene age.Modelling shows that much of the Early Cretaceous delta is thermally mature and should be expelling petroleum today. Reservoir facies are present at many horizons, but the primary target is expected to be sandstones of the Rakopi Formation coal measures.Many analogies can be drawn between the Taranaki and Gippsland basins. The deepwater Taranaki basin appears to be equivalent, however, to the offshore, oilprone part of Gippsland while the nearshore Taranaki and Great South basins together form an analogy for the more gas-prone nearshore part of Gippsland.

Abstract:

AbstractEight latest Eocene to earliest Miocene stratigraphic surfaces have been identified in petroleum well data from the Taranaki Basin, New Zealand. These surfaces define seven regional sedimentary packages, of variable thickness and lithofacies, forming a mixed siliciclastic–carbonate system. The evolving tectonic setting, particularly the initial development of the Australian–Pacific convergent margin, controlled geographic, stratigraphic and facies variability. This tectonic signal overprinted a regional transgressive trend that culminated in latest Oligocene times. The earliest influence of active compressional tectonics is reflected in the preservation of latest Eocene – Early Oligocene deepwater sediments in the northern Taranaki Basin. Thickness patterns for all mid Oligocene units onwards show a shift in sedimentation to the eastern Taranaki Basin, controlled by reverse movement on the Taranaki Fault System. This resulted in the deposition of a thick sedimentary wedge, initially of coarse clastic sediments, later carbonate dominated, in the foredeep close to the fault. In contrast, Oligocene active normal faulting in a small sub-basin in the south may represent the most northerly evidence for rifting in southern Zealandia, related to Emerald Basin formation. The Early Miocene period saw a return to clastic-dominated deposition, the onset of regional regression and the southward propagation of compressional tectonics.

Abstract:

During the past 50 years of utilising modern techniques in New Zealand’s Taranaki Basin, explorers have both been rewarded by its bountiful accumulations and frustrated by its complicated morphology. Numerous superimposed sub-basins, depocentres, areas of uplift, interbedded volcanic edifices and recent volcanism contribute to the complexity of New Zealand’s only producing province. Exploration has been successful along the flanks of the basin, but the time has come to focus on the numerous grabens forming the Taranaki Basin.The basin is a Late Cretaceous rift more than twice the size of the North Sea’s prolific Viking graben, but only 120 wildcats have been drilled since 1955, with only 50 offshore. Horst, tilted fault block, inversion features and thrust anticlines have been the traditional targets, but companies are showing increased interest in relatively more difficult plays involving turbiditic, volcaniclastic and diagenetic reservoirs.The axis of the 6,000 km2 Northern Taranaki graben, the northern part of the Taranaki Basin, has not been penetrated by the drill bit and offers numerous exploration opportunities for basin floor and slope fans of Eocene and Miocene age. Acoustic scattering, diffraction and absorption within a chain of buried Miocene stratovolcanoes inhibit seismic energy from passing into the older sequences, which consist of numerous basin floor fan sequences. Long avoided by exploration programs, volcanic edifices were found to possess good reservoir characteristics and entrap hydrocarbons at Kora–1. The 7000+ km3 of layered extrusive volcanic rock in the graben cannot therefore be discounted as potential reservoir. Another play developed by Miocene magmatism is the doming of potential turbidite reservoirs by underlying igneous feeder dyke systems. In addition, the wells drilled at Kora identified a more elusive play concept—that of potentially large petroleum accumulations stratigraphically trapped downdip from diagenetically altered reservoirs, serving as sealing lithologies, near the igneous feeder dyke systems.As most seismic records in the Northern Taranaki graben were acquired more than a decade ago, modern seismic acquisition and processing technologies are needed to penetrate the buried volcanic edifices and unlock the basin’s story. A better understanding of the basin’s complexities, more cost-effective drilling techniques and a willingness to explore for targets in the source kitchens may finally expose the true potential of the Taranaki Basin.

Abstract:

Research conducted in a limited number of regions has identified that Na deposition rate (kg Na/ha) is strongly influenced by 4 main factors: distance from coast, rainfall, wind speed, and wind direction. Despite the potential importance of Na deposition to the productivity of dairy farms, no comprehensive research has been conducted in Taranaki, New Zealand. Na, K, Ca, and Mg concentrations were determined in weekly rainwater samples collected in standard rain gauges erected at 15 sites, along 4 transects around Taranaki, between May and September 2006. Recorded Na concentrations ranged between 0.40 and 38 mg/L. High Na concentrations were associated with low rainfall volumes and proximity to the coast first receiving the prevailing wind, which was, during this period, the southern Taranaki coast. Na deposition ranged between 0.04 and 25 kg/ha.week. Equations were derived to predict the average Na concentration in rainwater and Na deposition in Taranaki for the 2006 winter period. The most influential factor explaining the variation in average Na concentration was the distance of the collector from the southern coast. Na and Mg depositions were highly correlated (R2 = 0.93; P < 0.01; n = 155), whereas correlations of Na with K or Ca were not as strong (R2 = 0.49 and 0.61, respectively). Measured Na deposition rates exceed those predicted by algorithms used in current nutrient budgeting software and could be used to improve this nutrient management software.

Abstract:

As part of Aotearoa New Zealand’s process of settling historical Treaty of Waitangi claims, a settlement is expected to be completed soon in relation to the maunga (mountain) known to Māori as Taranaki. In addition to recognising the maunga as a legal person, the settlement will reportedly make Taranaki Maunga the landmark’s sole official name. More than 250 years after Captain Cook imposed the name Mount Egmont on the landscape, that name will finally disappear from the map. Few people today are likely to mourn the loss of this name, but things were very different 35 years ago. In 1986, ‘Mount Taranaki or Mount Egmont’ was recognised as the official name of the maunga. The path to that compromise, in which Māori and European names sat side by side, was bitterly contested by many Pākehā (New Zealanders of European descent) who feared the removal of a name they saw as tied to their sense of identity. For Taranaki Māori, who had patiently campaigned for restoration of the Māori name, the decision was another step towards recognition of their deep connections with their sacred maunga. This article provides an account of the debate over the name of the maunga that took place in 1985-86 and looks at how identity, history, race relations and democracy were discussed in the debate. It also reflects on the reasons why there was such intense contestation over the name, and the debate’s relevance to the new Aotearoa New Zealand histories curriculum.

Abstract:

The predominant hydrocarbons produced in the Taranaki Basin are gas condensates, although oil has been discovered at several widespread locations and therefore remains a priority exploration objective. Study of the oil geochemistry by means of bulk chemical characteristics, isotope and biomarker content improves our understanding of their source rocks and maturation histories. Results show that the oils and condensates throughout the region are similar in their bulk chemical character, source environment and levels of maturation suggesting a common source for all the hydrocarbons. The source environments as indicated by biomarkers were terrestrial fresh water swamps with low bacterial anoxic conditions. The primary plant material deposited was vascular plant debris, and onshore in northern Taranaki and in the Murchison Basin, angiosperm debris was an important additional component. These angiosperm indicators are absent from the West Coast and southeastern Taranaki oils and condenstates. The overall environment of the oil sources rocks is similar to that which formed the high volatile coals of the West Coast. These coals, on source rock analyses, also reveal a perhydrous character equivalent to the high hydrogen index normally associated with marine oil source rocks. Maturation levels of the oils, equivalent to a vitrinite reflectance level of Ro 1.0% are indicated by biomarkers. The highest maturation levels reached by drilling so far are 0.9%. suggesting that oil source rocks in Taranaki Basin are at or below the maximum drilled depth of 5.5 km. After generation, the oils of the West Coast were slightly biodegraded as suggested by their low paraffin wax content. However, valid biomarker interpretations for source and maturation conditions are still possible. The widespread occurrences of oil and the consistent nature of the detailed chemistry of the oils suggest that in addition to gas condensate there is a reasonable prospectivity for oil especially in and adjacent to the Central Graben are of the Taranaki Basin and in parts of the West Coast.

Abstract:

Around the end of the twentieth century, awareness grew that, in addition to the Taranaki Basin, other unexplored basins in New Zealand’s large exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and extended continental shelf (ECS) may contain petroleum. GNS Science initiated a program to assess the prospectivity of more than 1 million square kilometres of sedimentary basins in New Zealand’s marine territories. The first project in 2001 acquired, with TGS-NOPEC, a 6,200 km reconnaissance 2D seismic survey in deep-water Taranaki. This showed a large Late Cretaceous delta built out into a northwest-trending basin above a thick succession of older rocks. Many deltas around the world are petroleum provinces and the new data showed that the deep-water part of Taranaki Basin may also be prospective. Since the 2001 survey a further 9,000 km of infill 2D seismic data has been acquired and exploration continues. The New Zealand government recognised the potential of its frontier basins and, in 2005 Crown Minerals acquired a 2D survey in the East Coast Basin, North Island. This was followed by surveys in the Great South, Raukumara and Reinga basins. Petroleum Exploration Permits were awarded in most of these and licence rounds in the Northland/Reinga Basin closed recently. New data have since been acquired from the Pegasus, Great South and Canterbury basins. The New Zealand government, through Crown Minerals, funds all or part of a survey. GNS Science interprets the new data set and the data along with reports are packaged for free dissemination prior to a licensing round. The strategy has worked well, as indicated by the entry of ExxonMobil, OMV and Petrobras into New Zealand. Anadarko, another new entry, farmed into the previously licensed Canterbury and deep-water Taranaki basins. One of the main results of the surveys has been to show that geology and prospectivity of New Zealand’s frontier basins may be similar to eastern Australia, as older apparently unmetamophosed successions are preserved. By extrapolating from the results in the Taranaki Basin, ultimate prospectivity is likely to be a resource of some tens of billions of barrels of oil equivalent. New Zealand’s largely submerged continent may yield continent-sized resources.

Abstract:

Active exploration for petroleum in New Zealand is over 120 years old. While some sporadic, commercial production was obtained already in the earliest part of this century, exploration until 1920 was entirely guided by the occurrence of natural seepages. 1925–1944 was the first period of scientifically-oriented exploration, spurred particularly by the requirements of the second World War. In 1955 began the present period of more intensified prospecting, which in 1965 extended to New Zealand's very large ofshore area. The onshore Kapuni gas/condensate field was discovered in 1959, and the giant offshore Maui field in 1969. Production started in 1970 and 1979, respectively. Exploration enormously increased and expanded all over the country in the late 1960's and early 1970's, with concession holdings reaching a record high in 1970/71:131,673 km2 onshore and 1,003,669 km2 offshore. But a sharp decline followed in the mid-late 1970's, which was partly Government-induced and political, partly due to a prolonged lack of success. A change of Government policy in 1980 started a new cycle of intense exploration, with enthusiasm rapidly fuelled by a string of new, though small discoveries in Taranaki onshore, and, in 1986/87, by what is believed to be a large oil and gas discovery in Taranki offshore. Drilling activity has reached record levels over the last years, while exploration in general is branching out again to many other areas and basins, outside Taranaki. Total production in 1986 amounted to 4,546 million m3 of gas (plus 744 million m3 re-injected), 1.208 million m3 of condensate, 186,700 m3 of LPG and smaller amounts of natural gasoline and butane, and 0.501 million m3 of oil.

Abstract:

The past 18 months in New Zealand have seen a relatively high level of exploration activity. A certain degree of cyclicity is part of the NZ exploration scene and derives from the fact that the industry in NZ is small and also from the nature of the permit regime. Significant developments during the period have been the discovery of commercial production outside the Taranaki Basin (the Kauhauroa field in the East Coast Basin) and the rediscovery of a potentially commercial oil accumulation in the Taranaki Basin (Maari). The level of activity is expected to continue at about the current level for at least the remainder of 1999.

Abstract:

Evidence for the timings of inter-hemispheric climate fluctuations during the Holocene is important, with mountain glacier moraine systems routinely used as a proxy for climate. In New Zealand such evidence for glacier expansion during the late Holocene is fragmentary and is limited to glaciers in a narrow zone within the Southern Alps. Here, we present the first evidence for late-Holocene glacier expansion on the North Island of New Zealand in the form of two unconsolidated debris ridges on the south side of the stratovolcano, Mt Taranaki/Mt Egmont, at ~1920 m a.s.l. The two ridges are aligned north–south along the western and eastern sides of a small basin (Rangitoto Flat), which is formed between the main Taranaki cone (to the north), and the parasitic cone of Fanthams Peak (to the south). The approximate age of the ridges is constrained by dated eruptive events and the relationship between ridge locations and the spatial positioning of adjacent volcanic landforms. We propose the ridges formed as two lateral moraines on the margins of a cirque glacier during the final construction phase of Fanthams Peak between 3.3 and 0.5 ka BP, during late-Holocene time. This time interval accords with published cosmogenic 10Be dating of moraine-building episodes in the Southern Alps, indicating the Mt Taranaki moraines are a response to the same regional climatic forcings.

AbstractThe New Zealand Wars of the 1860s have traditionally been associated with the popularity of antagonistic racial discourses and the growing influence of scientific racism. Building upon recent research into the resonance of humanitarian racial discourses in this period, this article reconsiders the experience of Governor Thomas Gore Browne during the Taranaki War, 1860–61. The Taranaki War was a global news event that precipitated fierce debates within both New Zealand and Great Britain over the war's origins and the rights of indigenous Maori. This article reveals how both Browne and his wartime critics defined themselves as the true defenders of Maori rights. This general usage of humanitarian racial discourses was encouraged by perceptions of metropolitan surveillance, New Zealand's prominence within networks of imperial communication, and an onus to administrate Maori with justice.

Abstract:

The overall history of social work education in Aotearoa New Zealand has been well documented by authors such as McCreary (1971a,b), Nash (1998) and Cranna (1989). Tiromoana and Taranaki House social work residential training institutions were set up by the Education Department, Child Welfare Division to meet a gap in social work training in the country in the 1960s and 70s. These programmes, which were at times contentious, appeared to be unique and particular to their time, place and context in Aotearoa New Zealand. This article provides some history and participant recollections about Tiromoana (Porirua) and Taranaki House (Auckland) for social work’s historical record. This article attempts to piece together various sources, including recent interviews, and to weave together some of the facts and stories of these two institutions.

Abstract:

Recent revisions to the paleontologic dating and lithologic correlation of the late Cretaceous and Cenozoic sediments in many wells have improved the chronostratigraphic framework for the Taranaki Basin. When combined with detailed seismic mapping and results of a study of basement trends, refinements to the timing of major structural and sedimentary events in the basin's history can be made. A resultant series of paleogeographic maps is presented. The Taranaki Basin has developed primarily within an extensional tectonic regime, with a compressional overprint occurring variously in places from early Miocene to Pliocene. An overall transgressive sedimentary cycle existed from the late Cretaceous to early Miocene. Thereafter a generally regressive trend has continued to the present day. Subsidence patterns were broadly similar across the basin until the late Miocene, whereupon tectonic controls on basin morphology and sedimentation became more diverse.

Abstract:

Taranaki Basin is a proven petroleum producing region, with commercial quantities of hydrocarbons from late Eocene paralic and terrestrial sands, and Miocene-latest Pliocene shelf sands. Other sediments with sub-commercial hydrocarbon accumulations, shows or potential reservoir features have also been encountered. The paralic and terrestrial sediments were deposited during periodic shoreline fluctuations in the Paleogene and were capped by transgressive terrigenous and carbonate muds. Other sand bodies, generally of bathyal and shelf setting and representing increasing regional tectonism, are found throughout the late Eocene to Pliocene sequence. Paleogeographic reconstructions depicting the maximum sand development during the Paelocene to Pliocene provide potential sandstone reservoir maps. These highlight onshore Taranaki and the Eocene paleoshoreline trend as areas of greatest prospectivity. Future activity should also consider the potential of the relatively unexplored late Cretaceous-Paleocene and Pliocene sandstone sequences.

Abstract:

The offshore Northland Basin is a major sedimentary accumulation lying to the west of the Northland Peninsula of New Zealand. It merges with the Taranaki Basin in the south and its deeper units are separated from Deepwater Taranaki by a buried extension of the West Norfolk Ridge. Sedimentary thicknesses increase to the northwest and the Northland Basin may extend into Reinga. Its total area is at least 65,000 km2 and if the Reinga Basin is included, it may be up to 100,000 km2. As in Taranaki, petroleum systems of the Northland Basin were thought to include Cretaceous to Recent sedimentary rocks. Waka Nui–1 was drilled in 1999 and penetrated no Cretaceous sediments, but instead drilled unmetamorphosed Middle Jurassic coal measures. Economic basement may be older meta-sediments of the Murihiku Supergroup. Thick successions onlap the dipping Jurassic unit and a representative Cretaceous succession is likely to be present in the basin. Potential source rocks known to be present include the Middle Jurassic coal measures of Waka Nui–1 and the Waipawa Formation black shale. Inferred source rocks include Late Jurassic coaly rocks of the Huriwai Beds, the Early Cretaceous Taniwha Formation coaly sediments, possible Late Cretaceous coaly units and lean but thick Late Cretaceous and Paleogene marine shales. Below the voluminous Miocene volcanoes of the Northland arc, the eastern margin of the basin is dominated by a sedimentary wedge that thickens to more than two seconds two-way travel time (TWT), or at least 3,000 m, at its eastern margin and appears to have been thrust to the southwest. This is interpreted to be a Mesozoic equivalent of the Taranaki Fault, a back-thrust to subduction along the Gondwana Margin. The ages of sedimentary units in the wedge are unknown but are thought to include a basal Jurassic succession, which dips generally to the east and is truncated by an erosional unconformity. A southwestwards-prograding succession overlies the unconformity and its top surface forms a paleoslope onlapped by sediments of Late Cretaceous to Neogene ages. The upper succession in the wedge may be of Early Cretaceous age—perhaps the equivalent of the Taniwha Formation or the basal succession in Waimamaku–2. The main part of the basin was rifted to form a series of horst and graben features. The age of initial rifting is poorly constrained, but the structural trend is northwest–southeast or parallel to the Early Cretaceous rifting of Deepwater Taranaki and with the Mesozoic Gondwana margin. Thick successions overlie source units which are likely to be buried deeply enough to expel oil and gas, and more than 70 slicks have been identified on satellite SAR data suggesting an active petroleum system. Numerous structural and stratigraphic traps are present and the potential of the Northland Basin is thought to be high.

Abstract:

The persistence of residual herbicides used in maize (Zea mays) silage crops was investigated in three field trials located in Waikato Taranaki and Canterbury Herbicides used included atrazine and acetochlor applied preemergence and mesotrione and nicosulfuron applied 612 weeks after planting Bioassay of soil samples collected about the time of silage harvest showed small but biologically toxic residues of only nicosulfuron and only at the Taranaki site A subsequent glasshouse study investigated whether the differences in persistence of nicosulfuron were due principally to soil characteristics (four soil types) or rainfall (amount and timing) Heavy rainfall (50 mm) in the first week or two after application or for several consecutive weeks was more effective in leaching the herbicide and reducing the residues than light (10 mm) or moderate (25 mm) rain applied at similar times Also residues of nicosulfuron disappeared faster in soils with low pH and high organic matter

Abstract:

Abstract On 3 April 2020, the Court of Appeal delivered a judgment quashing a decision to approve a seabed mining proposal within New Zealand’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ). This article discusses the judgment’s background, its references to the law of the sea and other international law, and the Court of Appeal’s four key findings. These findings include that the seabed mining approval: (a) failed to ensure protection of the marine environment from pollution; (b) failed to favour caution and protection where information is uncertain or inadequate; (c) failed to integrate decision-making between the EEZ and territorial sea; and (d) failed to adopt an approach to effects consistent with indigenous rights. The article concludes with some observations on the judgment’s relevance to State practice and seabed mining under international law.

Abstract:

Climate change is altering our physical world (Alston 2013; Gray, Coates Hetherington 2013; Dominelli 2012; Hetherington Boddy 2013; Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [IPCC] 2012) and forcing us to consider the way we live with Papa-tūā-nuku. Globally, nationally and locally we are forced to consider 'green’ issues as a result of climate change (Alston 2013; Coates 2004; Coates 2003; Gray, Coates Hetherington 2013; IPCC 2012). The International Federation of Social Workers (2013: 4) state, ‘…the last twenty years has demonstrated as never before the inter-dependence of life on the globe’, and advocate for social workers recognising the importance of the natural world in their work. This article considers what this means for social workers in Taranaki.

Abstract:

The Taranaki Basin lies in the western portion of New Zealand, onshore and offshore. It is a Cretaceous rift basin that is filled with up to approximately 10 km thick deposits from marine to deepwater depositional environments from the Cretaceous (approximately 93 ma) to the Neogene (approximately 15 ma). This basin underwent important tectonic events that resulted in large-scale features such as faults and folds and the deposition of turbidites such as channels and channel belts. These features easily are recognizable in seismic data. When analyzing the offshore 3D Pipeline data set, we recognized a peculiar fault-like feature with large-scale dimensions (approximately 15 km long and approximately 1 km wide) within the sequence. The alignment was perpendicular to the direction of deposition in the basin (southeast–northwest) as identified by previous studies and subparallel to the main structures in the area (southwest–northeast). We interpreted the seismic character of the funny-looking thing (FLT) likely as (1) a fault, (2) a fold, or (3) a large channel belt within the basin. We use seismic attributes such as coherence (Sobel filter), dip, cosine of phase, and curvature to characterize this feature geomorphologically. The geologic background of the area and analog settings aided in understanding and distinguishing the nature of this large structure. Monocline examples in seismic data are rare to find, and we want to show how to avoid misinterpretations. Geological feature: Fault-bend fold or large-amplitude fold (possibly monocline) Seismic appearance: Large, discontinuous, high-variance feature Alternative interpretations: Fault, fold Features with a similar appearance: Fault, fold, wide straight channel belt (time or horizon slice) Formation: Rift sequence of the Taranaki Basin Age: Eocene Location: Taranaki Basin, Western offshore New Zealand Seismic data: Provided by New Zealand Petroleum and Minerals Contributors: Karelia La Marca, Heather Bedle, Jerson Tellez; School of Geosciences; University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK, USA Analysis tool: 3D reflection seismic, geometric seismic attributes

Full text

Abstract:

Thick iron oxide pans are a distinctive feature of some soils in Taranaki, New Zealand, which occur on the ringplain, or on terraces of valleys draining the ringplain of Mount Egmont. The pans tend to form in the boundary area between layers of differing texture within the zone of water table fluctuations. The pans are indurated, brittle, and vesicular, and have a black or reddish brown appearance with a shiny black fracture. They are up to 50 cm thick and form lenticular deposits sometimes several metres across at depths ranging from a few centimetres to about 1 m. Analysis of seven samples of pan gave 34-45% elemental Fe, 3-5% A1 and 4-10% Si, consistent with about 55-70% iron oxides, together with entrapped and adhering soil particles. V and Mo are enriched in the pan samples and probably occur as anionic species strongly adsorbed on the iron oxide surfaces. X-ray powder diffraction, Moessbauer spectroscopy and acid-oxalate dissolution indicate that the dominant iron oxides present are goethite and ferrihydrite. The relative proportion of these two minerals varies widely without any noticeable change in the nature of the pan materials. Microstructures in one sample were examined by scanning electron microscopy. The pans are considered to have formed from the aeration of groundwaters (rich in ferrous ions) moving laterally through the soils. Such groundwaters are formed on Mount Egmont from the reaction of meteoric water, sometimes containing dissolved volcanic carbon dioxide, with ferromagnesian minerals. Positive tests for ferrous ions (using �,�'-dipyridyl as indicator) were obtained from groundwaters presently associated with the pans.

Abstract:

AbstractTephra layers from 11 sediment cores were examined from a series of closely spaced lake and peat sites, which form an arc around the andesitic stratovolcano Mt. Taranaki, North Island, New Zealand. A new high-resolution composite tephra-deposition record was built, encompassing at least 228 tephra-producing eruptions over the last 30 cal ka BP and providing a basis for understanding variations in magnitude and frequency of explosive volcanism at a typical andesitic volcano. Intersite correlation and geochemical fingerprinting of almost all tephra layers was achieved using electron microprobe–determined titanomagnetite phenocryst and volcanic glass shard compositions, in conjunction with precise age determination of the tephra layers based on continuous down-core radiocarbon dating. Compositional variation within these data allowed the overall eruption record to be divided into six individual tephra sequences. This geochemical/stratigraphic division provides a broad basis for widening correlation to incomplete tephra sequences, with confident correlations to specific, distal Taranaki-derived tephra layers found as far as 270 km from the volcano. Furthermore, this tephrostratigraphical record is one of the most continuous and detailed for an andesitic stratovolcano. It suggests two general patterns of magmatic evolution, characterized by intricate geochemical variations indicating a complex storage and plumbing system beneath the volcano.
