Book excerpt: New Zealand Landscape: Behind the Scene tells the story of New Zealand through the subject of geomorphology, a branch of earth science at the interface of geology and geography. Geomorphology is informally described as the ‘science of scenery’, and as with every science, ideas evolve as the research frontier advances. Users will find an early 21st century interpretation of the New Zealand landscape, an interpretation that rests on, and draws from, a rich foundation of ideas bequeathed by predecessors who have had the privilege of exploring, researching, and enjoying this corner of the Pacific. Tells a geological and geographical story with questions that are addressed and answered in the course of the book Written in an accessible style for both researchers and students Features full-color photos of the beautiful New Zealand landscape

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Zealand is a small country located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. It is made up of two main islands, the North Island and the South Island, as well as a number of smaller islands. Known for its stunning natural landscapes and thriving film industry, New Zealand is home to approximately 5 million people. The country has a diverse population, with the indigenous Māori people making up around 15% of the population. The official languages of New Zealand are English, Māori, and New Zealand Sign Language. New Zealand's economy is primarily based on agriculture, with dairy and meat exports being major industries. The country also has a thriving tourism industry, with many visitors drawn to its natural beauty and outdoor adventures such as hiking and skiing. New Zealand has a long history of environmental conservation, and is home to several protected areas including national parks and marine reserves. The country is also a leader in renewable energy, with around 80% of its electricity coming from renewable sources such as hydro and wind power. With its unique culture, stunning landscapes, and commitment to sustainability, New Zealand offers a truly special experience to visitors and residents alike.
Download or read book MOUNTAIN GEOMORPHOLOGY written by Phil Owens and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mountains represent one of the most inspiring and attractive natural features on the surface of the earth. Visually, they dominate the landscape. However, the increasing realization of the fragility of mountain areas because of changes in land use, management and climate, combined with an understanding of their importance for water and other natural resources, has resulted in a growing interest in mountain environments in recent years. Hence, Mountain Geomorphology represents a timely and unique contribution to the literature. Written by a team of international experts, this book is divided into three sections, which consider historical, functional and applied mountain geomorphology from both global and local perspectives. Historical mountain geomorphology focuses on the evolution of landforms. Functional mountain geomorphology emphasises the interaction between processes and landforms, while applied mountain geomorphology concerns the interrelationships between geomorphological processes and society. Mountain Geomorphology is a valuable source of information for students studying mountain geomorphology, and also for academics and research scientists interested in mountain environments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many ways, this book is the culmination of more than four decades of my exp- ration of the taxonomy, biogeography and ecology of New Zealand’s quite small freshwater fish fauna. I began this firstly as a fisheries ecologist with the New Zealand Marine Department (then responsible for the nation’s fisheries research and mana- ment), and then with my PhD at the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA in the early–mid 1960s. Since then, employed by a series of agencies that have successively been assigned a role in fisheries research in New Zealand, I have been able to explore very widely the natural history of that fauna. Studies of the fishes of other warm to cold temperate southern lands have followed, particularly southern Australia, New Caledonia, Patagonian South America, the Falkland Islands, and South Africa and, in many ways, have provided the rather broader context within which the New Zealand fauna is embedded in terms of geography, phylogeny, and evolutionary history, and knowing this context makes the patterns within New Zealand all the clearer. An additional stream in these studies, in substantial measure driven by the beh- ioural ecology of these fishes round the Southern Hemisphere, has been exploration of the role of diadromy (regular migrations between marine and freshwater biomes) in fisheries ecology and biogeography, and eventually of diadromous fishes wor- wide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an introduction to the soils of Aotearoa New Zealand, structured according to the New Zealand soil classification system. Starting with an overview of the importance and distribution of New Zealand soils, it subsequently provides essential information on each of the 15 New Zealand soil orders in separate chapters. Each chapter, illustrated with diagrams and photographs in colour, includes a summary of the main features of the soils in the order, their genesis and relationships with landscapes, their key properties including examples of physical and chemical characteristics, and their classification, use, and management. The book then features a chapter on soils in the Ross Sea region of Antarctica and concludes by considering New Zealand soils in a global context, soil-formation pathways, and methods used in New Zealand to evaluate soils and assist in land-management decisions. Information about how to access detailed information via links to the Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research website is also included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This program takes viewers to New Zealand's South Island to discover landforms, landscapes, and ways that the environment is protected. Much of the island has been shaped by tectonic forces and carved by glaciers and ice action. Ecotourism and adventure tourism attract international visitors. National Parks and World Heritage Areas were created to protect sensitive and unique environments. This enhances the reputation of New Zealand for sustainable practices. Highlights include the Canterbury Plains surrounded by towering peaks of the Southern Alps. The causes and effects of the Christchurch earthquakes and mountain forming processes are examined. A flight in a light plane above the Alps and the summit of Mt. Aspiring captures the stunning alpine scenery. Glaciers and glacial lakes are visited as are the popular towns of Wanaka and Queenstown. The uses of rivers and valleys for adventure is shown in the jet boats and bungy jumping outside Queenstown. A fast boat ride across Lake Manapouri reveals more spectacular scenery on the way to Doubtful Sound for a breathtaking two day cruise on the second largest fiord in New Zealand.
