Geotechnical Engineering for Infrastructure and Development, XVI European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, Edinburgh (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
(2015, September). Geotechnical Engineering for Infrastructure and Development, XVI European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, Edinburgh. Presented at XVI European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ECSMGE), Edinburgh, Scotland

Geotechnical engineering is a discipline that plays a critical role within all infrastructure and development projects. Failure to adequately account for the influence of the ground regularly leads to increased costs that often can be disproportionat...

The in vitro respiratory toxicity of cristobalite-bearing volcanic ash (2015)
Journal Article
Damby, D., Murphy, F., Horwell, C., Raftis, J., & Donaldson, K. (2016). The in vitro respiratory toxicity of cristobalite-bearing volcanic ash. Environmental Research, 145, 74-84. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envres.2015.11.020

Ash from dome-forming volcanoes poses a unique hazard to millions of people worldwide due to an abundance of respirable cristobalite, a crystalline silica polymorph. Crystalline silica is an established respiratory hazard in other mixed dusts, but it... Read More about The in vitro respiratory toxicity of cristobalite-bearing volcanic ash.

Predicting microbial water quality with models: Over-arching questions for managing risk in agricultural catchments (2015)
Journal Article

Science of the Total Environment, 544, 39-47. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2015.11.086

The application of models to predict concentrations of faecal indicator organisms (FIOs) in environmental systems plays an important role for guiding decision-making associated with the management of microbial water quality. In recent years there has... Read More about Predicting microbial water quality with models: Over-arching questions for managing risk in agricultural catchments.

Addressing preference heterogeneity, multiple scales and attribute attendance with a correlated finite mixing model of tap water choice. (2015)
Journal Article

Unobserved heterogeneity of error scale in choice models is a recent extension of the better investigated issue of heterogeneity of taste intensity. It is achieved by fitting choice panel data with specifications that simultaneously handle inter-pers...

New Zealand is one of several countries to use subsidies for retrofitting insulation and installing improved heating devices such as heat pumps. The valuation of these devices by the affected populations remains unknown. We investigate willingness to... Read More about Estimating the willingness to pay for Warmer and Drier Homes.

The effect of within-season variability on estimates of recreational value for trout anglers in New Zealand. (2015)
Journal Article

Recreational benefit estimates can be substantially improved by incorporation of data on attributes that are averaged over shorter periods of time so as to better represent within-season variability. This approach may be advantageous across a wide ra... Read More about The effect of within-season variability on estimates of recreational value for trout anglers in New Zealand..

Spatial distributions of earthquake-induced landslides and hillslope preconditioning in northwest South Island, New Zealand (2015)
