Forecasting Cascading and Compounding Flood Risk From Earthquake‐Induced Ground Deformation

ABSTRACT Large earthquakes can disrupt river systems and produce abrupt, unforeseen changes in flood risk. Forward modelling of earthquake‐related surface deformation and its influence on inundation extent, depth, and frequency enables pre‐emptive assessment of exposure to this c...

Spatial access to CT scanners: a rural–urban comparison in the Southern and Te Manawa Taki regions of New Zealand

Introduction Computed tomography (CT) is available to few rural communities in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ). Obtaining CT imaging is a common reason rural patients are transferred to urban hospitals. Aim This study aimed to quantify rural–urban differences in spatial access to CT in...

Applied nucleation promotes recovery of New Zealand raised bog vegetation toward a reference community

Abstract Introduction Applied nucleation aims to restore degraded ecosystems efficiently by establishing vegetation patches that increase in biodiversity and extent through natural dispersal and facilitation. Although widely tested in terrestrial ecosystems, its long‐term outcome...
