Geodiversity and Biodiversity of Gibraltar Rock with Dr. Sam Hampton, Frontiers Abroad, Department of Geological Sciences, University of Canterbury, and Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū / Banks Peninsula Geopark and Andy Spanton, Biodiversity Manager, Selwyn District Council
Gibraltar Rock and Omahu Bush are jewels on the slopes of Banks Peninsula above Tai Tapu. This walk will take us through the varied native bush, rocky outcrops, and open pasture, where we will identify key species and discuss relationships within the landscape. We will explore the geology of Gibraltar Rock, unravelling the stages of volcanism in its eruption and formation, and look to link geodiversity (variations in rock, soils, waters, and landscape) to the biodiversity of the area and Banks Peninsula.
