Ridges and hillocks across the hills are rounded and mantled by soil with abundant rock fragments. Rock outcrops are generally scarce, except on the east...

By and large, the benefits of major irrigation projects, and poverty alleviation schemes did not reach the poor and rural population who constitute nearly 70% of country’s population...

The earlier coseismic landsliding event also is recorded in Lake Tutira ( Eden and Page, 1998 ) and in alluvium and emergent beach ridges on the Poverty Bay Flats ( Pullar and Penhale, 1970 ; Pullar and Warren, 1968 ). All...

This has received wide response from scientists, academicians and policy makers viewing and interpreting this concept in broader perspectives of ‘Green energy’ and ‘Poverty alleviation’ as relevant to UN’s...
