  • Ecology and Distribution of Blue Whales in New Zealand Across Spatial and Temporal Scales

    Creator:
    Barlow, Dawn R.
    Abstract:
    The distribution of mobile marine predators often reflects underlying dynamic ecological processes. The geographical focus of this PhD is the South Taranaki Bight (STB) of New Zealand, where wind-driven coastal upwelling generates productivity and prey to support a blue whale foraging ground. The STB is also New Zealand’s most industrial...

  • Remote Sensing of Nearshore Hydrodynamic and Morphodynamic Processes

    Creator:
    O'Dea, Annika M.
    Abstract:
    The use of remote sensing techniques in coastal science and engineering has rapidly increased in the past few decades. This dissertation outlines new remote sensing tools using two remote sensing technologies (lidar and X-band marine radar) along with two nearshore hydrodynamic and morphodynamic analyses supported or motivated by these remote...
