Three stratigraphic holes (Orui-1A, Ranui-2 and Te Mai-2), drilled in southeast Wairarapa to assist petroleum exploration in the onshore southern East Coast Basin, had acoustic and resistivity borehole image logs, conventional cores and wireline log data acquired through significant parts of the wells. The image logs have been interpreted, and where possible, calibrated to core observations. The interpretations provide an insight into the subsurface structure and stress, and to a lesser extent, the regional stress...

Mid-Cretaceous coal-bearing rocks in New Zealand contain valuable records of coal-forming flora and past climate. They are not widespread in outcrop, but are more extensive in the subsurface of offshore sedimentary basins. The mainly alluvial and lacustrine sediments were deposited during development of rift basins before separation of Zealandia from Antarctica-Australia and seafloor spreading in the Southern Ocean and Tasman Sea. The stratigraphy and correlation of these strata is reviewed, with emphasis on palynological data...

The acquisition of remotely sensed, high resolution, topographic data has been transformed considerably over the past decade by new technology and geospatial processing platforms. Originally developed within the computer vision industry, Structure from Motion (SfM) is a photogrammetric method for creating 3D models of a feature or topography from overlapping two-dimensional photographs taken from many locations and orientations. SfM algorithms search for unique matches of points between two images, determining internal camera geometry and camera...

Ground deformation in the 14th November 2016 magnitude 7.8 Kaikōura Earthquake was extra-ordinarily complex, including multiple (>20) ground-surface fault ruptures and extensive (>110 km) coastal uplift. This report documents work undertaken after the initial GeoNet response phase to document the ground-surface fault ruptures and coastal uplift, with a large focus on high resolution topographic (Light Detecting and Ranging) data. This work provides essential information for better understand what happened in the earthquake, and to inform...

INTRODUCTION
The University of Auckland Retinopathy Database has been created as part of the research carried out at the University of Auckland aimed at developing an automatic screening system to screen patients affected by diabetic retinopathy. The Database has been developed in collaboration with the Al-Salama Eye Hospital and collaborators from India.
The Database includes the following:
Retinal images: approx. 200 taken by Fundus camera, mostly of individuals affected with diabetic retinopathy Resolution: 2124 x 2056 pixels Size:...

The two most devastating earthquakes of the 2010-2011 Canterbury sequence, the September 4, 2010 Darfield and February 22, 2011 Christchurch earthquakes occurred on previously unknown faults. The 2010 event was associated with rupture of the previously unmapped Greendale Fault, 30 km away from Christchurch. The 2011 Christchurch earthquake event occurred under the city and along a fault that did not rupture to the surface. A pressing question was whether a similar scenario to the September...

In 2007 the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment released their Vision Mātauranga policy for “unlocking the Innovation Potential of Māori knowledge, Resources and People” (MBIE, 2007) and to provide strategic direction for Vote RS&T funding for research. Elements of MBIE’s Vision Mātauranga policy are increasingly being adapted by organisations who recognise the unique opportunities for Māori communities to make distinct contributions to research, science and technology. Additionally, Vision Mātauranga is increasingly a core assessment...
