Repeated giant earthquakes on the Wairarapa fault, New Zealand, revealed by Lidar-based paleoseismology

Population Ecology of Rabbits in the Wairarapa, New Zealand

An aged sample of over 17,000 rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) from the Wairarapa, in the North Island of New Zealand (area 2535 km , 41 o10'S), was autopsied between September 1965 and September 1967. The sample represented about two-thirds of all rabbits shot by the Pest Destruction Board. Information included: date; property; age; sex; body-weight; if male – testes scrotal or not, if female –...

An Analysis of the Repeated Financial Earthquakes

Since the seismic behavior of the earth’s energy (which follows from the power law distribution) can be similarly seen in the energy realized by the stock markets, in this paper we consider a statistical study for comparing the financial crises and the earthquakes. For this end, the TP statistic, proposed by Pisarenko and et al. (2004), is employed for estimating the critical point or the lower...

the role of task-based techniques on the acquisition of english language structures by the intermediate efl students

this study examines the effetivenss of task-based activities in helping students learn english language structures for a better communication. initially, a michigan test was administered to the two groups of 52 students majoring in english at the allameh ghotb -e- ravandi university to ensure their homogeneity. the students scores on the grammar part of this test were also regarded as their pre...

Isolated deep earthquakes beneath the North Island of New Zealand

Submarine paleoseismology based on turbidite records.

Many of the largest earthquakes are generated at subduction zones or other plate boundary fault systems near enough to the coast that marine environments may record evidence of them. During and shortly after large earthquakes in the coastal and marine environments, a spectrum of evidence may be left behind, mirroring onshore paleoseismic evidence. Shaking or displacement of the seafloor can tri...
