Stream bank erosion, Banks Peninsula, New Zealand

The principal aim of this investigation is the detailed field study of stream bank erosion, in which 12 variables are examined in terms of their influence upon the nature and rate of stream bank erosion. Two streams with actively eroding banks were chosen, each representing a different physical env...
