Marine geology at the World Court

Huge areas of the world's seafloor are being carved up among the nations, ignoring scientific knowledge of the geology, geophysics and geomorphology of the seabed.     

Comparison of accelerator and radiometric radiocarbon measurements obtained from Late Devesian Lateglacial lake sediments from Llyn Gwernan, North Wales, UK

Accelerator mass spectrometry measures of the radiocarbon activity of various chemical fractions prepared from Late Devensian Lateglacial lake sediments from the site of Llyn Gwernan, near Cader Idris, North Wales are presented and assessed. These are compared with radiocarbon measurements obtained by radiometric (decay) counting which were reported earlier from the same site and are considered in the light of pollen-stratigraphic information. The potential advantages of accelerator radiocarbon measurements to the assessment of the chronology and correlation of Lateglacial lake sediments are evaluated.     

Responsible Geographies: Co-oreating Knowledge in Aotearoa

We examine in this paper the potential for (reforming the relations of social scientific research in Aotearoa. Drawing upon our experience of undertaking historical geographical research with and for Ngati-Toa Rangatira, we argue for the need to develop responsible geographies in Aotearoa. We suggest that the metaphors of ‘crossing borders’ and ‘building structures’ might offer one route into the development of such a responsible geography.
