Abstract The Abstract for this thesis A study of Miocene sediments (Manuherikia Group) at Bannockburn and the banks of the Kawarau River, Central Otago, reveals the existence of at least 18 pollen taxa, 44 plant mcrofossil parataxa and casuarina n. sp. At least 6 floral associations are inferred to have existed - (1) a closed-canopy beech and conifer forest, (2) an open-canopy sclerophyllous forest or woodland including casuarina and possibly Eucalyptus, (3) palmaceous swamp forest, (4) dicotyledonous swamp forest, (5) coniferous swamp forest, and (6) a probable lateral zonation of semi-aquatic plants surrormding lake and bay mrgins which included burr-reeds. Climtic data are inconclusive but indicate temperate rather than tropical conditions. Department The department where the student is studying primarily.

Abstract The Abstract for this thesis The upper Eocene to lower Oligocene sediments along the eastern margin of the mid-Waiau Valley, Southland, record a change from fluvial-lacustrine and marginal marine (Nightcaps Group) conditions to deeper marine calcareous muds (Waicoe Mudstone). The Runungan age Beaumont Formation was derived from the Fiordland Complex to the west and deposited in distal to proximal sandy braided stream environments and locally in flood plain and lacustrine environments. The sudden late Eocene transition from terrestrial Beaumont Formation to marginal marine Orauea Mudstone resulted from a combination of basin subsidence and a eustatic rise in sea-level. Whaingaroan age sediments are missing in the study area due to 1500 + meters of normal movement on the westward dipping Waicoe Fault. Displacement on the Waicoe Fault probably occurred during the Whaingaroan (lower Oligocene) stage and is inferred to represent a major basin margin fault. Deep-water restricted benthonic Foraminifera in the upper Oligocene-lower Miocene Waicoe Mudstone indicate that basin subsidence had largely occurred by this time. The introduction of redeposited shelf debris during the Otaian and early Altonian suggest renewed basin margin tectonism. The occurrence of a lower Miocene diatomaceous ooze suggests local upwelling of nutrient rich water along the eastern basin margin. Department The department where the student is studying primarily.
