New Zealand is a submerged continent with 96% of the Gondwana fragment below sea level. New Zealand's frontier basins cover 1.7 million km2. Centerbury Basin is 360,000 km2 Cretaceous rift basin with minor Neogene inversion with gas/condensate shows. Deepwater Taranaki Basin is a Mesozoic back...
New Zealand's oldest rocks are over 500 million years old, and were once part of Gondwanaland. This massive super-continent started to split up about 160 million years ago, and New Zealand separated from it about 85 million years ago. ...
who are the indigenous inhabitants of the islands in New Zealand, was of particular interest for sure. However, he still had faith in his discovery of the great southern continent. Finally, Tasman managed to discover the continent - only he didn’t have any idea that ...
The islands of New Zealand are the uncovered parts of the mainly submerged (93%) continent of Zealandia. This split from the supercontinent of Gondwana about 82 Ma and New Zealand is largely isolated from other landmasses (Cooper and Millener, 1993, Wallis and Trewick, 2009). The Alpine Fa...
New Caledonia can be thought of as a distal northern extension of Zealandia. Could it have been totally submerged in the Oligocene, too? The only known fossil-bearing sedimentary rock of Oligocene age in New Caledonia is, indeed, limestone. Like New Zealand, New Caledonia has a legacy of co...
This Miocene tectonic activity led to the formation of the majority of New Zealand’s land surface from the submerged continent Zealandia (Mortimer and Campbell, 2014, Trewick et al., 2007). However, the Southern Alps formed about 5 Mya with an accelerated rate of uplift (10–20 mm/year)...
This was just one of the many entertaining activities I found to do when visiting New Zealand, a land of limitless opportunities and unforgettable memories. I guess it was New Zealand’s remoteness that initially attracted me to this extremely diverse place. Or perhaps it was the countries lush...
A survey of the New Caledonian margins reveals several regions between the proper oceanic domain in the central Pacific and the continental domain forming the Australian continent. Earth physics and, in particular, seismology can be used to differentiate the following three units of the uppermost mant...
Zealandia is recognized as the world's 8th continent even though most of it is submerged. Consisting of New Zealand, New Caledonia, Norfolk Island, Lord Howe Island, and the Chatham Islands, I've now been to every major landmass on Zealandia. The Chatham black robin is critically endangered ...
