Figure 4.1. MAS NMR spectra of two natural muscovite micas illustrating the effect of the Fc203 content on the broadness of the central transition and the size of the spinning side bands (indicated by asterisks).

New Zealand is a collection of South Pacific islands about the size of Great Britain, 2,000 km east of Australia. The two main islands are simply known as the North Island (pop. 2.8 million) and the South Island (pop. 0.9 million), and to the south of the South Island is Stewart Island (pop. 400) a haven for fishermen and tourists. 

Figure 17.1 Sample localities for Terebratella sangumea in Fiordland (sites 1—8). Two non-fiord populations from Stewart Island (located approximately 250 km southeast of Fiordland) were analysed in the study but are not shown on the map.

Appendix 17.1 Terebratella sanguinea allele frequencies for 10 localities from Fiordland and Stewart Island, New Zealand. Allele codes indicate relative mobility with A indicating the fastest allele (greatest electrophoretic mobility) at a locus. Numbers of animals from a population genotyped for each locus are given...

Figure 6. Topography (solid), precipitation (gray), and 8180 and 8D values along a transect across the southern South Island of New Zealand. The modern Southern Alps create a strong rain shadow on the eastern side of the mountain range that is characterized by a reduction in rainfall from up to 3000 mm/a on the western side to values <300 mm/a on the eastern side of the range. Similarly, hydrogen and oxygen isotopic compositions of meteoric water are strongly depleted in D and 180, and decrease by ca. —40%o and -4.5%o, respectively. Circles SlsO values, diamonds 8D values. Data from Chamberlain et al. (1999) and Stewart et al. (1983). After Chamberlain et al. (1999).

Stewart (1966) has summarised values of Kr found by monitoring airborne activity a few days after fallout from the bomb tests at Maralinga and Monte Bello Island. A range of values from 10-4 to 10-7 m-1 was obtained, but where the ground was disturbed by vehicles, Kr reached 7 x 10-4 m 1.
