Mystery photo for you to work out what it is? Is this a debris flow? Or maybe a rock glacier? Or perhaps a talus deposit? Or something else? Give it a guess. #Geomorphology, #landslide #newzealand #geoscience #geography #geology

Wondering why your bins are still standing? Central Christchurch appears to have been spared the worst.

The Ashburton Lakes (Hakatere) region is a high altitude basin between the Rangitata and Rakaia Rivers, Canterbury, New Zealand. It was heavily glaciated as the kame terraces (deposits of a river running along the flank of a #glacier) show. #geomorphology #photo #geology #geography #Aotearoa

Apparent river terraces (straight lines) high on the hill side show where the glacier flowed.

Gravel cliffs at Rakaia Gorge, Canterbury. This cliff displays two #glacial #outwash gravels. The lower, orange gravel is from MIS 6 (c. 150,000 years ago), while the upper grey gravel is from the last glaciation c. 26,000 yrs ago. #geomorphology #photo #geography #geology #NewZealand #Aotearoa
