Coastal science for post-tsunami reconstruction
Different political, economic, social and environmental factors are considered in plans for coastline reconstruction following tsunami events. These competing factors inevitably result in a compromise being made with respect to reconstruction policy and practice. Coastline reconstruction may also be constrained by availability of technology, speed of action or decision-making, local political expediency, and external influences such as disaster r…

Given what is now known or may be reasonably inferred about the geomorphological development of the northern shoreline of New Guinea—the second-largest island in the world with a land area of about 808,000 km2—this island has played a previously unexpected role in the prehistory of the Pacific, first as “barrier” and then later as “bridge” (or perhaps, more accurately, as “voyaging corridor”) between island Southeast Asia and Oceania. However, ou…

Large earthquakes and the abandonment of prehistoric coastal settlements in 15th century New Zealand
This paper reports on the effects of large earthquakes and related events, such as tsunamis, on prehistoric coastal settlements in New Zealand.

We identify three broad periods of seismic activity in New Zealand since human occupation of the islands: 13th century, 15th century, and the 1750s to 1850s. The most…

Close Harmony
The Rise of Southern Gospel Music
Hours before dark on a lazy summer afternoon in the mid-1990s, cars arrived in a long unbroken line that connected a rural two-lane highway to an unpaved parking lot. Seasonal thunderstorms and churning steel-belted radials combined to turn the meadow for overflow parking into a muddied mess. Still, some six thousand emerged from those vehicles and made their way toward a rustic fairgrounds stage. After displaying a ticket, they chose a spot, set…
