▼ Although the physical characteristics of surfing breaks are well described in the literature, there is little specific research on surfing and coastal management. Such research is required because coastal engineering has had significant impacts to surfing breaks, both positive and negative. Strategic planning and environmental impact assessment methods, a central tenet of integrated coastal zone management (ICZM), are recommended by this thesis to maximise surfing amenities. The research reported here identifies key oceanographic considerations required for ICZM around surfing breaks including: surfing wave parameters; surfing break components; relationship between surfer skill, surfing manoeuvre type and wave parameters; wind effects on waves; currents; geomorphic surfing break categorisation; beach-state and morphology; and offshore wave transformations. Key coastal activities that can have impacts to surfing breaks are identified. Environmental data types to consider during coastal studies around surfing breaks are presented and geographic information systems (GIS) are used to manage and interpret such information. To monitor surfing breaks, a shallow water multibeam echo sounding system was utilised and a RTK GPS water level correction and hydrographic GIS methodology developed. Including surfing in coastal management requires coastal engineering solutions that incorporate surfing. As an example, the efficacy of the artificial surfing reef (ASR) at Mount Maunganui, New Zealand, was evaluated. GIS, multibeam echo soundings, oceanographic measurements, photography, and wave modelling were all applied to monitor sea floor morphology around the reef. Results showed that the beach-state has more cellular circulation since the reef was installed, and a groin effect on the offshore bar was caused by the structure within the monitoring period, trapping sediment updrift and eroding sediment downdrift. No identifiable shoreline salient was observed. Landward of the reef, a scour hole ~3 times the surface area of the reef has formed. The current literature on ASRs has primarily focused on reef shape and its role in creating surfing waves. However, this study suggests that impacts to the offshore bar, beach-state, scour hole and surf zone hydrodynamics should all be included in future surfing reef designs. More real world reef studies, including ongoing monitoring of existing surfing reefs are required to validate theoretical concepts in the published literature.

▼ Aramoana Beach is a recognised surf break of regional and national significance and is protected under the New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement (2010). Until recently, little baseline data on the break had been collected. The objective of this thesis was to gain an understanding of how the morphological and surfing parameters vary and interact with each other and with the forcing wave climate. Ultimately, the baseline data gathered from this work will help inform and support the NZCPS (2010) in protecting Aramoana Beach and other surf breaks around New Zealand. The state, morphology and in turn the surfing parameters of Aramoana Beach are correlated and are a function of the forcing wave climate present at any given time, which is observed to have seasonal and annual variations. The morphological parameters of interest are the sand-bar orientations and sand-bar lengths, whilst the surfing parameters of interest are the peel angles and the ride lengths. Two cameras were set up overlooking Aramoana Beach to record known favourable surfing locations. The two locations were separated by 300 m. The results indicated that, at the camera one area of interest, El Niño phases as well as the forcing wave climate associated with autumn and winter, increased the sand-bar orientation, relative to true north (0 ), to face north-east and decreased the sand-bar lengths, whilst the state of Aramoana Beach became more dissipative in nature. During El Niño phases, as well as autumn and winter, south-east swell waves were dominant, and the significant wave height increased. In contrast, La Niña phases, as well as the forcing wave climate associated with summer and spring, decreased the sand-bar orientations, relative to true north, to face north-north-east and increased the sand-bar lengths, whilst the state of Aramoana Beach became more reflective in nature. During La Niña phases, as well as spring and summer, north-east swell waves were dominant and the significant wave heights were smaller, relative to El Niño. The peel angles and ride lengths of the breaking waves were more favourable in El Niño years and during autumn and winter compared to during La Niña years and during spring and summer at the camera one area of interest. At the camera two area of interest, the El Niño phase decreased the sand-bar orientations, relative to true north to face north (opposite to the camera one area of interest) and decreased the sand-bar lengths. In contrast, the La Niña phase increased the sand-bar orientations, relative to true north to face north-north-east and increased sand-bar lengths. The seasonal trends at the camera two area of interest were likely inaccurate due to the paucity of data. Surfing conditions at the camera two area of interest were more favourable during La Niña phases compared to El Niño phases, which was opposite to the camera one area of interest. The findings of this study add weight to the importance of protecting the swell corridors that contain the pre-conditioning features that are essential to producing… Advisors/Committee Members: Bryan, Karin R (advisor).

M.A. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2013.

Although research on the psychological correlates of ocean surfing is scarce, substantial anecdotal evidence suggests that the sport offers a uniquely positive experience for surfers. Prior research has demonstrated that surfers report fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety than the general population, but no explanation for these findings has been identified (Levin & Taylor, 2011). Greater spirituality has been correlated with lower depression and anxiety, and many surfers have described surfing as a spiritual experience, indicating a potential connection between surfing and spirituality. The current study had several goals. The first goal was to partially replicate previous findings that surfers in California report less depressive and anxiety symptoms than the general population with a more geographically diverse sample of surfers (Levin & Taylor, 2011). The second goal was to determine whether a geographically diverse group of surfers report a higher level of spirituality than the general population. The third goal of this study was to determine whether spirituality is related to depression and anxiety in this sample of surfers. The fourth goal was to determine whether the surfing experience is related to general spirituality. The fifth and final goal of this study was to determine whether the surfing experience is related to levels of depression and anxiety. One hundred surfers were recruited from the Hawaiian Islands and the Mid-Atlantic region of the East Coast. Participants were asked to complete a survey consisting of a consent form, a demographics questionnaire, the Spirituality Assessment Scale (SAS; Howden, 1992), the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II; Beck, Steer, & Brown, 1996), and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI; Beck & Steer, 1993). The demographics questionnaire was used for descriptive purposes as well as an estimate for surfing-specific spiritual experiences. Scores on the SAS, BDI-II, and BAI were compared to available cutoff scores for each measure to provide a preliminary interpretation of the sample's scores. Independent samples t-tests were also conducted to compare the scores on the SAS, BDI-II, and BAI with comparative normative groups. Correlational analyses on the scores of these measures were also computed to determine the relationship between reported levels of spirituality and the reported levels of depression and anxiety. Correlational analyses were also conducted to determine if any relationships existed between the surfing experience and spirituality, depression, and anxiety. Results of these analyses indicate that surfers from the Hawaiian Islands and the East Coast report fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety than most available comparative normative groups. Results also indicate that a relationship exists between reported greater levels of spirituality and reported lower levels of depressive symptomatology. Finally, the results show that a significant relationship exists between the surfing experience and reported levels of…

▼ This thesis explores ‘couch surfing’ as it becomes more prevalent within the tertiary student experience. In recent years, there has been a significant decline in the availability of housing in all major cities in New Zealand. Rental accommodations been particularly hard hit with the number of properties available for occupation under increasing demand. Despite this shortage universities have continued to expand, offering an increased number of positions to students. This dichotomy has impacted university students looking for ‘affordable accommodation.’ This has led to a recent surge in students undertaking studies without fixed abodes for either short time periods or in some cases for the duration of the university trimesters or year, commonly referred to as ‘student homelessness.’ The students are faced with a new reality; a reality of relying on short term peer support for accommodation, known as couch-surfing. This research considers the impact of accommodation uncertainty within the tertiary student experience and specifically asks what impact the current global phenomenon of couch surfing is having on either alleviation or amplification of the physical and/or emotional stresses and strains associated with attending university. This study interviews students who have experienced uncertainty around their accommodation arrangements and as a result have engaged in couch surfing practices. The aim of this study is to gain a holistic overview of the impact this experience of uncertainty and temporary accommodation has on a student’s life and uses photography as a tool within human-centred and participatory design approaches to assist in the expression and interpretation of the couch surfing experience during university study. At the outset, more portrait photography approaches such as model headshots are used to illustrate the student couch surfer and their accommodation experience and surroundings with the purpose of capturing the couch surfers in the moment in mind. Following on from this the study introduces the ethnographic method of Photovoice and asks the couch surfing student to record their own accommodation experience through the taking of more self-focused photos that include their surroundings and expressions of the experience. As a final experience, a workshop was designed and facilitated to synergise the student voice on the experiences of couch surfing. This experience was also documented through photography. The culmination of these research approaches is a visual output in the form of a photobook that will showcase the overall narrative of the thesis. The main objective of the thesis and visual output is to explore the lifestyle and experiences of student couch surfers and to visually amplify a collective student voice that speaks to the emergent and unique phenomenon of couch surfing, that has had an impact on their university experience.

▼ Since the mid 1990s, a growing body of literature on lifestyle sports has produced fresh insights into the nuances, esoteric terminology and social dynamics in an array of lifestyle sport cultures. While surf culture has gained considerable attention from both sociologists and historians, the voices of bodyboarders have been minimal. Reflecting perceptions held by many in mainstream society, the literature on surf culture tended to marginalize bodyboarding participants, deeming the activity fit for children or teenagers. Therefore, this project addresses the gap in academic literature on surf culture by adopting a socio-cultural, qualitative approach to give voice to bodyboarders, by revealing some of the complexities within bodyboarding culture, and revealing power relations operating between surfers and bodyboarders in the surf. As a three-time world amateur champion female bodyboarder of both Maori and Samoan heritage, I was particularly interested to understand experiences of gender and ethnicity in relation to bodyboarding. Therefore, I conducted semi-structured interviews with eight bodyboarders living in New Zealand. To analyse data from the interviews, I employed Bourdieu’s theoretical concepts of habitus, field and capital to explore bodyboarding with the intent of presenting fresh perspectives relating to masculinity and femininity, and experiences of Maori, Pacific Island and New Zealand European bodyboarders. The participants revealed embodied characteristics of the bodyboarder as well as a variety of strategies used to negotiate space in the surf field. The experiences of female participants resonated with current literature where opportunities to gain respect were limited based on their marginal position in the male-dominated lifestyle sport culture. While some female participants successfully negotiated space within the surf field, male bodyboarders revealed other difficulties due to the hyper-masculinity of stand-up surfing culture, and the marginal position of bodyboarders. In specifically examining the experiences of Maori and Pacific Island participants, I argue that a unique form of cultural capital exists in which respect, courtesy and fairness were given more value than demonstrations of physical capital. Adopting a socio-cultural approach to analyse the operations of power in the surf field, and particularly how gender and ethnicity affect the experiences of New Zealand bodyboarders, this research project brings “new value to identities and experiences that are marginalized and stigmatized by the larger culture” (Denzin, 2002, p. 486).

Specifically the focus is on the Local Surfer, a surfing type emerging from a typology of surfers observed in the South West of England during my previous study (Beaumont, 2007) and developed through the use of ideal types, a concept taken from Weber (1949). The Interpretive paradigm was adopted for this study in order to conduct research into the social world of surfing subculture that produced richly descriptive data. Within this approach qualitative ethnographic methods were used including participant observation, field notes and semi-structured interviews to generate data on the two key themes surrounding the Local Surfer in the study; identity and community. In terms of identity, data reveals a list of the ideal typical characteristics for the Wannabe, the Professional Surfer, the Soul Surfer and the Local Surfer types the last of which highlights significant gender differences within the type itself. Donnelly and Young’s (1999) symbolic interactionist model of identity construction and confirmation was applied to analyse the Local Surfer and did help illuminate some stages in Local Surfer identity construction. However, this analysis also revealed limitations of this theories applicability to pursuits rather than sports (which is how surfing is classified to the Local Surfer). Goffman’s (1969) concept of career was also used to provide an opportunity to present the career of the Local Surfer and in particular provides information on the years after identity construction and the process of ageing within a subculture and a community. The Local Surfer career is seen as various distinctive stages which the Local Surfer typically progressed through in a linear manner: the “nurturing” stage; the traveller stage; the responsible stage; and the legends stage. Finally in terms of community, many of the issues associated with community are addressed by focusing on the elements which make up a definition of community established in the early stages of the study. Current issues for the Local Surfer are also discussed including their fratriachial qualities, the exclusion of women and the phenomenon of localism.

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Exemplar perceived prototypicality refers to the goodness of fit between an exemplar and the category prototype (Rosch, 1978). It is key to category activation (Macrae & Bodenhausen, 2000) and generalisation processes (Rothbart & John, 1985). Past research examined the consequences of pairing a negative/anxiety-provoking stimulus with exemplars of stereotyped social categories on perceived exemplar anxiety and exemplar evaluations (Olson & Fazio, 2006; Olsson, Ebert, Banaji, & Phelps, 2005). The present thesis extends this research focus by investigating the effects of associative learning (direct, vicarious; aversive, appetitive) on intergroup categorisation, measured in terms of perceived exemplar prototypicality of Black, White and minimal group exemplars by White participants. This research has the potential to contribute to understanding stereotype formation and change and to help design interventions that increase social integration in society. Chapter 1 reviews the stereotyping and intergroup categorisation literature, focusing on stereotyping and exemplar perceived prototypicality. Chapter 2 starts by introducing evaluative-fit and emotion-fit mechanisms as possible psychological underpinnings of prototypicality shifts under conditions of pairing group exemplars with valence and emotion. Associative learning is then described as a way to affect evaluative-fit and emotion-fit and, as a result, cause shifts of exemplar prototypicality. In three successive studies, Chapter 3 provides some initial evidence that an outgroup face (conditioned stimulus, CS) paired with an aversive stimulus (unconditioned stimulus, US; i.e., unsafe exemplar), in the form of an uncomfortable electrotactile stimulation, is perceived as being more prototypical of the outgroup following both direct and vicarious aversive conditioning. Chapter 3 also explores the properties of this basic categorisation or prototypicality shift effect: After establishing a self-reported, post-extinction, CS-specific and generalised prototypicality shift following both direct and vicarious conditioning (Study 3.1), Study 3.2 shows prototypicality shifts on an implicit measure only post-extinction. Study 3.3 shows that backward CS-masking during conditioning eliminates CS-specific prototypicality shifts and replaces it with a generalised (CS-nonspecific) prototypicality shift towards the entire outgroup. Exploring the causal role of extinction in more depth, Chapter 4 reveals that repeated presentations of ethnic cues, rather than repeated presentation of the target face per se, are sufficient to change how that exemplar is categorised. Using a minimal group procedure, Study 5.1 tests, and confirms the prediction that aversive associative learning should cause safe exemplars (i.e. those not paired with an aversive US) to be perceived as being more prototypical of the ingroup after conditioning. In contrast, Study 5.2, which explores group membership along ethnicity lines, unexpectedly reveals that both safe…

▼ Cette thèse explore l’interrogation suivante : qu’est-ce que le genre dans le terrain anthropologique circonscrit ici, à savoir celui des Roms/Tsiganes dans trois villages de Roumanie ? L’auteure y adopte une définition constructiviste du genre, entendu comme un rapport de forces relationnelles. Elle décrit la manière dont la frontière interethnique et le système de genre chez ces Roms créent "les Roms" comme groupe distinct, comme communauté, tout en concevant les hommes et les femmes comme membres ayant des statuts différents. L’ethnographie des institutions montre d’emblée une relation complexe et instrumentalisée politiquement par les Gadje (non-Roms) dominant-e-s dans le sens d’une stigmatisation des Roms/Tsiganes. De leur côté, les Roms/Tsiganes tentent d’échapper au contrôle gadje par des stratégies spécifiques. Ce tandem est constitutif de la vision rom du monde. Les Roms et les Gadje sont proches spatialement, mais éloigné-e-s les un-e-s des autres par toute une série de pratiques institutionnalisées et performées avec une inépuisable conviction quant à l’existence d’une différence objective entre les un-e-s et les autres. En même temps, dans le contexte postcommuniste de la Roumanie, les un-e-s et les autres adoptent un même modèle de réussite sociale qui est celui du patron. Pour certain-e-s Roms enrichi-e-s grâce à l’essor du commerce de l’aluminium de récupération, devenir effectivement patron est une modalité de renversement de la domination des Gadje. La thèse met l’accent sur la façon particulière dont les Roms/Tsiganes placent la conjugalité et l’hétérosexualité au coeur de leur pensée et de leurs actions. C’est principalement dans la dynamique et la dialectique de la bori (épouse, bru) et de la romni (femme mariée) que se joue, parfois de manière très violente, le contrôle et/ou l’autonomie des femmes : chez les Roms, on se bat pour avoir une bori et pour être une romni. En même temps, Rom et Romni, homme et respectivement femme marié-e, sont des appellatifs ethniques : nous avons affaire à une communauté d’individus mariés car on ne naît pas Rom, on le devient une fois marié-e, à savoir au premier rapport sexuel. La dualité homme-femme recoupe celle du pur-impur, que ce soit dans l’importance accordée au mariage et à sa défaite (un trafic généralisé des femmes), ou dans les pratiques concernant la pollution où l’on performe une séparation symbolique du haut (bouche) et du bas (sexe) du corps, renvoyant systématiquement, comme dans un système de fractales, à la dualité du monde : rom et gadje. La jupe, vêtement ouvert porté obligatoirement par les femmes mariées et revêtu rituellement lors de la cérémonie de mariage, est un élément matériel crucial qui structure les relations sociales dans le village, dans la famille, entre femmes, entre femmes et hommes. Les jupes propagent la pollution sexuelle contenue dans le sexe ouvert des femmes, tout en protégeant de cette même pollution.

▼ At the heart of this thesis is the following question: why do we categorise two objects (e.g., an apple and a banana) as instances of the same concept (e.g., the concept fruit) despite their perceptual differences? This is the problem of perceptual categorisation. One way of dealing with this problem is to appeal to the notion of psychological similarity: the apple and the banana belong to the same concept because they look similar. However, there is no scientific agreement on what entity or mechanism the notion of psychological similarity refers to and how this notion explains our ability to categorise both objects as fruit. A promising alternative approach to the problem is Bayesian modelling, whereby perceptual categorisation is analysed as a generalisation and concept-learning task: when categorising the apple and the banana as fruit, we compute the conditional probability that the banana is an instance of the concept fruit, given the background knowledge that the apple is an instance of this concept. This thesis argues for a combination of a Bayesian and a similarity-based approach to perceptual categorisation. I argue that a Bayesian model of concept learning by Tenenbaum and Griffiths (2001) can help us to comprehend a variety of behaviours associated with perceptual categorisation. These were difficult to understand in light of two previous competing theories of psychological similarity—Shepard’s (1987) geometric and Tversky’s (1977) feature-matching theories. One of the behaviours that the Bayesian model can help us comprehend is the tendency to, for example, seek out mushrooms that look similar to edible ones and avoid those that look different from edible ones. The Bayesian model can help us understand why this tendency becomes stronger or weaker depending on how similar or different the mushrooms are. Another of these behaviours is a ‘directionality effect’: we are sometimes more likely to judge Tel Aviv to be similar to New York than vice versa. I argue that the Bayesian approach predicts, systematises and summarises the data on both types of behaviours, whereby it becomes a useful tool to understand perceptual categorisation as a unified phenomenon. The second argument is that the advocated Bayesian approach implicitly relies on a theory of psychological similarity when characterising the hypotheses in the Bayesian inference of perceptual categories. The role of such a similaritybased theory is to explain how a concept such as fruit should be represented in a Bayesian model and how this concept’s representational content is active in producing the subjective probabilities that are associated with hypotheses in a Bayesian inference task.

▼ The inclusion of surf breaks in the New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement (2010) establishes New Zealand as a potential world leader in surf break protection. The approach is highly dependent upon local authorities being required to give effect to these new policy directives. Providing for these policies requires a multi-faceted approach that includes surf break identification, mapping, monitoring, policy provision, integrated management approaches and evaluation. This presents significant challenges, especially given that most local authorities lack specific surfing expertise. Surf break users have extensive knowledge of local surf breaks and an inherent interest in the preservation of surfing resources, representing a potential aid to local authorities in providing for surf breaks. Surf break policy implementation arguably serves to benefit from the involvement of surf break users in management responses and decision-making processes. This thesis involved a case study of the Auckland and Otago regions to explore surf break user values, the purpose of surf break management and the suitability of surf break co-management within New Zealand’s resource management framework. The study involved an online survey of surf break users and interviews with key stakeholders in the management of surf breaks. A key theme that emerged throughout the research was the desire for surf break management to reflect the needs and vision of local surfing communities. The study identified providing for the general protection of a range of surf breaks and increasing recognition of the value of surf breaks as key outcomes for the management of surf breaks. Results showed that surf break users primarily value factors relating to wave quality and elements of naturalness, with values reflecting local issues. Findings highlighted the importance of scale in addressing surf breaks. Results suggest that management approaches designed to protect surf break values need to consider local issues and local surf break user values. For surf breaks the most appropriate scale of approach is most likely to be at a local-scale in order to produce tangible management outcomes and further engage surfing community involvement. Local-scale co-management programmes underpinned by a supporting policy framework of surf break identification, policy provision and monitoring represents a potentially beneficial option for surf break management in New Zealand. Co-management could enable local authorities to bridge potential funding and knowledge gaps, allow for surf break users to take ownership of surfing resources and serve to strengthen the consideration of surf breaks in formal decision-making processes.

▼ The aim of the research presented in this work was to investigate the novel idea to produce continuous breaking waves, whereby a pressure source was rotated within an annular wave pool. The concept was that the pressure source generates non-breaking waves that propagate inward to the inner ring of the annulus, where a sloping bathymetry (beach) triggers wave breaking. In order to refine the technique, research was conducted to better understand the mechanics of waves generated by moving pressure sources in a constrained waterway, the transformation of these waves as they travel across the channel and the effect of the sloping beach on the wave quality for surfing. The quality of the waves was defined in terms of wave height, speed and shape, with the aim to create plunging waves, known as “barrels”, that are highly desired by surfers. Surfers also require a long steep crestline or “wall”, to allow a full range of manoeuvres to be performed. Finally, the pool was required to create waves suitable for surfers from beginner to expert level. The major finding was that the design parameters were generally in competition, and to determine a balance of limiting values, the parameters could not be considered in isolation. Therefore, a set of empirical relationships between the design parameters were developed to allow the pool to be designed for a combination of desired wave height and shape in a given pool radius. In the early stages of the study, a pressure source operating in a very constrained waterway with high levels of blockage, travelling in a circular track at high depth Froude numbers was found to exhibit highly nonlinear behaviour. This behaviour appeared to invalidate the use of linear and simpler non-linear potential flow numerical modeling tools to analysis the wave pool design. Even considering simplified configurations (such as a linear track, no blockage and no beach), the predicted wave heights and shape generally did not correlate well with initial experimental results. Thus, a predominantly experimental approach was undertaken. A method of qualitative scoring wave shape from a surfer’s perspective was developed and proved valuable for focusing the research effort. At the end of the test series, high quality continuous breaking waves with the desired plunging shape were able to be generated, with these waves being desirable for surfing. However, it was determined that only a very small range of design parameter values produced the desired high, plunging waves in the very constrained waterway under consideration, and the wave quality was shown to be extremely sensitive to changes in the design parameters.

▼ The thesis is a study of surfing in Australia. It examines the surfing subculture and its relationship with the dominant culture; the risk-taking orientation of its bodily practices and the role they play in the construction of individual and group identity and social formations; and the multidimensional relationships between the surfing culture industry, surfing's sports bureaucracy, bodily practices, social configurations and subcultural integrity. The study is based on the hypothesis that the surfing subculture in Australia is a distinctly postmodern configuration but one which displays a level of stability not accounted for in postmodern theory. It informs current debates over the nature of the self and society in post-modernity. The scope of the research was national because previous studies of surfing, both in Australia and the USA, suffered from too narrow a scope; either focusing on one sector or geographic area. The breadth of this study enabled coverage of all sectors, geographic types, and forms of surfing subculture in Australia. Participant observation was undertaken during a ten month field trip to 15 surfing locations, covering all States and surfing location types. The observations were supplemented by recorded interviews with 31 key people, 129 questionnaires administered at 16 specific surfing sites, and an analysis of the surfing media and other documentation. The thesis concludes that post-modernity provides an environment in which the self can become anchored in the shared transcendent experience of bodily practice, which forms the basis of stable social formations. Through interaction with the sublime in nature, the self 'experiences itself' in communion with the world. This transcendence is both a loss of self and an expanded sense of self, whereby subject and object merge in ecstatic experience. The shared knowledge of ecstatic experience constitutes a conscience collectif which underpins the subculture's social formations at the local and global level. The surfing culture industry mediates the experience across the world in images, text and symbolic form. Local neo-tribal formations reinforce the ecstatic experience through their hyper commodified culture and their sociality. Their structure promotes the hyper individualistic pursuit of ecstatic experience and constitutes a self-perpetuating social configuration whereby these reflexive communities are constantly reconstructed through bodily practice. This aesthetic reflexivity provides a bulwark against alienating bureaucratization and fosters a form of competitive surfing which further reinforces the foundational experience.

▼ Competitive surfing is an international professional water sport of which a key factor in performance appears to be surfboard paddling ability. Research on surfing performance is relatively novel and there is very limited data as to how anthropometric and upper extremity strength variables influence not just surfboard paddling but also surfing ability. PURPOSE: The purpose of this research was threefold. The first purpose was to evaluate the reliability of Pull Up and Dip 1RM strength assessments, the ratio between the two exercises, and a surfboard endurance paddle assessment. The second purpose was to establish if there were discriminative factors between competitive and recreational surfers on these measures, and correlations between anthropometric, strength and paddling variables. The final purpose was to determine if upper extremity maximal strength training would improve surfboard paddling performance. METHODS: Thirty-six male surfers (29.7 ± 7.7 years, 177.4 ± 7.4cm, 76.7 ± 9.9kg) participated in this research. Subjects performed a tempo and range of motion controlled 1RM Pull and Dip assessment followed by a timed 400m endurance paddle on 2 days with 7 days separating testing sessions. Reliability was assessed by Intra-Class Correlation (ICC), Percent Coefficient of Variation (%CV) and Typical Error (TE). These tests along with a 15m sprint paddle test and additional anthropometric assessments were evaluated to determine if correlations between tests existed and if there were any differences between competitive and recreational surfers. Subjects were then placed into either intervention or control groups with the intervention group training the Pull Up and Dip exercises three times per week for 5 weeks. RESULTS: All performance measures were considered reliable (ICC 0.96, 0.97 and 0.99; %CV 2.22, 2.41 and 2.01 for Relative 1RM Pull Up, Dip and 400m paddle respectively). A relative 1RM dip : pull up ratio of 1.11 was established. Fat mass and relative arm span were both correlated with paddling speed across sprint (p=0.02 to 0.04 and 0.01 respectively) and with even greater statistical power for endurance (p=0.01 andd=0.62-1.05). CONCLUSIONS: Performance measures of 1RM Pull Up and Dip strength and endurance paddling are reliable when assessing upper extremity strength qualities in male surfers. Relative strength in the Pull Up and Dip are both correlated with sprint paddling ability. Significant differences in relative arm span and endurance paddling ability between competitive and recreational surfers appear to exist. Further, upper extremity maximal strength training can improve paddling ability in surfers; and especially so in weaker surfers.

▼ The aim of the research presented in this work was to investigate the novel idea to produce continuous breaking waves, whereby a pressure source was rotated within an annular wave pool. The concept was that the pressure source generates non-breaking waves that propagate inward to the inner ring of the annulus, where a sloping bathymetry (beach) triggers wave breaking. In order to refine the technique, research was conducted to better understand the mechanics of waves generated by moving pressure sources in a constrained waterway, the transformation of these waves as they travel across the channel and the effect of the sloping beach on the wave quality for surfing. The quality of the waves was defined in terms of wave height, speed and shape, with the aim to create plunging waves, known as “barrels”, that are highly desired by surfers. Surfers also require a long steep crestline or “wall”, to allow a full range of manoeuvres to be performed. Finally, the pool was required to create waves suitable for surfers from beginner to expert level. The major finding was that the design parameters were generally in competition, and to determine a balance of limiting values, the parameters could not be considered in isolation. Therefore, a set of empirical relationships between the design parameters were developed to allow the pool to be designed for a combination of desired wave height and shape in a given pool radius. In the early stages of the study, a pressure source operating in a very constrained waterway with high levels of blockage, travelling in a circular track at high depth Froude numbers was found to exhibit highly nonlinear behaviour. This behaviour appeared to invalidate the use of linear and simpler non-linear potential flow numerical modeling tools to analysis the wave pool design. Even considering simplified configurations (such as a linear track, no blockage, and no beach), the predicted wave heights and shape generally did not correlate well with initial experimental results. Thus, a predominantly experimental approach was undertaken. A method of qualitative scoring wave shape from a surfer’s perspective was developed and proved valuable for focusing the research effort. At the end of the test series, high quality continuous breaking waves with the desired plunging shape were able to be generated, with these waves being desirable for surfing. However, it was determined that only a very small range of design parameter values produced the desired high, plunging waves in the very constrained waterway under consideration, and the wave quality was shown to be extremely sensitive to changes in the design parameters.

▼ Over the last two years action sports trackers have emerged for those seeking thrills in risk-taking sports (Mitchell, 2014). The data generated by these trackers is creating digitised representations of communities participating in action sports such as surfing. The surfing database comprises of activity all over the globe, and due to its size and complexity it can be categorised as big data. Understanding this complex database requires specific data visualisation methods which visually map relationships and patterns. This research asked: can an interactive data visualisation illustrate hierarchical, nomadic, and experiential aspects of the surfing subculture? This thesis is based on ethnographic research which focuses on exploring qualitative visualisations of the quantitative databases generated by action sports trackers for surfing. The research focused on the design of data visualisations which explored contemporary methods and principles of data visualisation and their applicability to communicate aspects of the surfing subculture. This manifested in the design of an interactive web application, Gone Surfing, which focused on global, local, and personal views which communicate Stranger’s (2011) substructure model of the surfing subculture. The hierarchical, nomadic, and experiential aspects of the surfing subculture are only known from long term immersion in the subculture itself. This design made these aspects explicit through the visualisation of the database. For example, pilgrimage’s to revered surfing locations and hierarchy within local communities, and a surfer’s relationship with the waves are forms of implicit knowledge which were made explicit. The final creative output, Gone Surfing, visualises these aspects in an interactive web application consisting of global, local, and personal views to each communicate an aspect effectively. The interactive visualisation allows non-surfers to explore the subculture while enhancing a surfer’s understanding of their position within the surfing nation.

▼ The purpose of this project is to render a snapshot of where the movement for surfing’s inclusion in the Olympic Games is currently; the young athletes who could participate at the Olympic Games if it does become an Olympic sport; the advocates for and against its inclusion; and the unique challenges the sport poses to the current Olympic sports infrastructure. This is a broadcast, video‐based project modeled after feature sports stories that routinely appear on programs including HBO’s Real Sports and ESPN’s SportsCenter. ❧ As a surfer, I was drawn to the topic, specifically after beginning my coursework as a Master of Arts in Specialized Journalism candidate at USC’s Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. ❧ To complete my project, I conducted video and phone interviews in various locations. First, I interviewed the de facto leader of surfing’s Olympics campaign, Fernando Aguerre, President of the International Surfing Association¹ at his home office in La Jolla, California. I also interviewed surf industry professionals who currently work for the World Surf League (WSL), the organization that oversees professional surfing. I attended two major WSL events: the Hurley Pro/Roxy Swatch Pro in San Diego, CA (“Lower Trestles”) and the Vans Triple Crown competition in Haleiwa, Hawaii. At Lower Trestles, I interviewed professional surfers currently competing on the WSL World Championship Tour including Coco Ho and Big Wave Commissioner, Peter Mel. At the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing competition, I intended to capture the sport’s current atmosphere and conduct interviews with spectators. Additionally, I spoke with Joe Turpel, a play‐by‐play commentator for the WSL, based in San Clemente, CA. ❧ I also interviewed action sports journalist, Jake Howard and former ESPN X‐Games Senior Editor, Ryan Garfat. To engage a scholarly foundation to my work, I interviewed Dr. Ben Finney of the University of Hawaii at Manoa, an anthropology/surfing history expert and founder of the Polynesian Voyaging Society² at his home in Honolulu, Hawaii. I chose to interview John Luff, Head of Business Development for American Wave Machines,³ an artificial wave machine company, at its headquarters in Solana Beach, California. Lastly, I interviewed teenage competitive surfers, Mahina Maeda and Joshua Moniz, in Haleiwa, Hawaii to gain their perspectives as young athletes who could potentially compete in the Olympic Games in 2024.

▼ Bud break is a key adaptive trait that can help us understand how plants respond to a changing climate from the molecular to landscape scale. Despite this, acquisition of bud break data is currently constrained by cost, scale, and a lack of information at the plant scale on the environmental stimuli that precede and cause bud dormancy to release. Additionally, to date, little effort has been devoted to phenotyping plants in nature owing to the challenge of controlling for environmental variation to isolate genomic effects on plant phenotype. Notwithstanding, natural selection operates on natural populations, and investigation of adaptive phenotypes in situ is warranted and can validate results from controlled laboratory experiments. In order to identify genomic effects on individual plant phenotypes in nature, environmental drivers must be concurrently measured and characterized. Here, we innovated and evaluated a sensor to meet these requirements for temperate woody plants. It was designed for use on a tree branch to measure the timing of bud break together with its key environmental drivers, temperature and day length. Specifically, we evaluated the sensor through independent corroboration with time-lapse photography and a suite of environmental sampling instruments. We also tested whether the presence of the device itself on a branch influenced the timing of bud break. Our results indicated the following: the bud break sensor's digital thermometer closely approximated a thermocouple touching plant tissue; the photoperiod detector measured ambient light with the same accuracy as time lapse photography; the phenology sensor accurately detected the timing of bud break; and the sensor itself did not influence bud phenology. Future use of the sensor can help galvanize a new field of study, landscape phenomics, or high-throughput phenotyping of organisms at the landscape level for integration with landscape genomics among other potential applications and disciplines.

▼ Geomorphologists have been attempting to accurately classify streams for over a hundred years with varying success. Prior classification systems have run the gamut of scale-dependent perspectives ranging from watershed to reach. Stream classification schemes have been based on stream ordering, stream pattern, erosion-transport-deposition reach systems, and reach pattern; unfortunately, none of these systems have received universal acceptance. Texas currently does not have a stream classification system based on Texas streams; thus, geomorphologists, water managers, and engineers can potentially misclassify streams based on classification systems developed for other regions. Using classifications created for other types of topography becomes ever more suspect because Texas has a highly diverse landscape consisting of nine distinct physiographic regions, each with variable lithology, land-use, soils, topography, and weather patterns and climate, making classification difficult and challenging. To fill this knowledge gap, a multiscale analysis was performed to determine the impact of physiography on drainage development and stream morphology. The challenge was to develop a stream classification system specifically for the rivers of Texas. Using remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems, along with multivariate statistical analyses, a multiscale analysis was performed to determine the impact of physiography and weather on drainage basin development, stream sinuosity, and channel geomorphic units on the nine physiographic provinces of Texas. Principle component analysis and stepwise regression analysis showed that although multiple significant relationships were identified within the 121 basins studied, the basins tended to be more similar than different, making a unique classification system difficult. Likewise, although significant statistical differences exist for stream sinuosity within the physiographic regions, the range of sinuosity values were large and overlapped province to province, thus making it difficult to categorize streams based on sinuosity. Lastly, points bars, cut banks, longitudinal bars, tributary mouth bars and exposed bedrock were visually identified using high-resolution aerial photographs to recognize patterns of forms within the physiographic provinces. All of the geomorphic units for the study, with the exception of exposed bedrock, were found to form in all of the provinces. Overall, topographic influences, such as those from slope, relief, and elevation, tended to have the most impact at all scales. These results suggest that despite the differences in physical characteristics found within each of the provinces, the processes that affect basin development, stream morphology, and channel forms are more similar than initially hypothesized. Based on these results, a stream classification based solely on physiographic province would not suffice as an accurate and meaningful classification system for rivers in Texas.

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

The main purpose of this research was to determine how river channel functions in the gorge and upland reaches of the highly regulated Snowy River might recover after experimental floods and natural floods from the downstream residual catchment, since Jindabyne Dam closed in 1967. By quantifying the geomorphic effectiveness of various floods at the site, channel unit and cross-section scales, the processes and rates of adjustment with time were determined for channel width, depth, conveyance capacity and surface bed sediment size. This enabled the rates of adjustment and pathways to suitable recovery target endpoints to be quantitatively modelled. Current recovery models are based on few observations and measurements and are lacking well-articulated endpoints. This lack of understanding of channel recovery processes, rates and pathways, limits predictions that could assist in the management of this river. Channel adjustment was spatially and temporally complex. Adjustments were through different processes, at different rates and on different pathways in response to floods with different flood power characteristics. The ‘most geomorphically effective’ floods had high peak stream power (69-77 W/m²), long duration (49-280 days), moderate to large total energy expenditure (78610-128441 Joules x 10³), high peak discharges (126-447 cumecs), and multiple high discharge peaks on the rising and falling limbs of the hydrograph. These floods have disrupted the dynamic equilibrium after nearly 50 years of de-watering. By world standards these floods may seem small, but for the Snowy River, this disequilibrium has returned some river channel functions. Consistent and statistically significant geomorphic adjustment trends occurred in runs, with time but not in riffles, pools and pool-tails. Runs offer the most accurate indicators of channel widening, deepening, increasing conveyance capacity and sediment coarsening. Most run cross-sections selected were predicted to recover to average target endpoints by 2038 ±10 years (allowing for bushfire and flood) if up to 23 ±1 more, ‘most geomorphically effective’ floods are released annually from Jindabyne Dam. A new dynamic equilibrium for most runs might then be reached if adjustment trends in the four geomorphic variables are consistent. Once most run average target endpoints are reached, other ‘moderately’, or ‘less’ geomorphically effective floods can be released for channel maintenance and bank building. Phragmites had the right combination of root-sediment properties to best stabilise the overbank flood deposits that form the new banks of the Snowy River.

▼ Although concepts are located within individual minds, while word forms are shared across entire language communities, words and concepts are normally deemed to be tightly bound. But in fact, at least to the extent that concepts vary, the relationship between words and concepts may not be as uniform or stable as is often assumed. Nevertheless, language may itself mediate that relationship, through its entrenchment and use. Psychologists have already investigated language use in referential communication, but they have yet to focus in detail on the role of language in conceptual coordination. One of the obstacles has been the theoretical and methodological challenges that arise from seriously abandoning conceptual universals. To that end, an experimental framework was developed based on sorting tasks in which participants freely partition a set of stimuli into categories and an objective measure for comparing two outputs. Four experiments were then conducted to investigate whether people were conceptually coordinated before, during and after linguistic interaction. Experiment 1 consisted of a cross-linguistic study looking at default coordination between native speakers. Participants both sorted items into groups and named them individually. There was a relatively high degree of categorisation agreement among speakers of the same language, but not nearly as high as for naming agreement. Experiments 2-4 inquired into conceptual coordination during or immediately after linguistic interaction. Experimental manipulations involved the form of language use (full dialogue or only category labels), as well as the type of feedback (category groupings, labels, both, or neither). In particular, Experiment 2 investigated the effects of categorising a set of objects together, with or without dialogue, on subsequent individual categorisation. The results were inconclusive and revealed specific methodological issues, but yielded interesting data and were encouraging for the general framework. Experiment 3 modified the designwhile testing and extending the same general hypotheses. Participants carried out a sequence of categorisation tasks in which they tried to coordinate their categories, followed by individual categorisation and similarity tasks. The availability of dialogue and feedback was manipulated in the interactive tasks. During interaction, they also received both kinds of feedback, except in the control condition. Pairs that could talk coordinated much better than the others, but feedback didn’t help. Experiment 4 looked into the effects of the four possibilities for feedback during a longer sequence of interactive tasks. In general, conceptual coordination was found to depend on grouping feedback only. However, by the end of the task, pairs who received both kinds of feedback did best. All three interactive experiments also measured lexical convergence between pairs. The results generally revealed a dissociation, with lexical alignment showingmore convergence and occurring under a wider variety of conditions.…

▼ An assumption in Cognitive Psychology, which has been challenged in recent years, is that the systems responsible for action and perception work independently of one another. These systems work together during conceptual tasks and research has demonstrated that action knowledge can influence performance even when the task is 'action-irrelevant' (Borghi, 2004; Borghi, Flumini, Natraj & Wheaton, 2012; Creem & Proffitt, 2001; Tucker & Ellis, 1998, 2001). However, participants in such tasks are often only asked to make simple category judgements, such as natural versus man made. The research reported in this thesis has shown that, under certain conditions, participants use action knowledge to make 'complex' category choices in an action-irrelevant task. The experimental work has predominantly used the forced-choice triad task to assess the circumstances under which participants categorise objects based on shared actions. The triads were designed with a target object and two choice objects matching on either shared actions (rifle + water pistol), shared taxonomic relations (rifle + sword), or both (orange + banana). The context in which the objects were presented was also manipulated so that the objects were either presented on a white background (context-lean) or being used by an agent (context-rich). Participants were most likely to select the choice object that shared both a taxonomic and an action demonstrating that action has an 'additive' effect in categorical decisions. Presenting the objects being used by an agent in a functional scenario increased the saliency of the shared actions between the stimuli, and participants were more likely to select the action choice. The subsequent experimental work reported in the thesis sought to eliminate potential confounding variables including perceptual features, object typicality and task instructions. What the experimental work presented here has demonstrated is that action can influence decisions on more complex categories, and judgments of similarity. The research has identified three main circumstances under which knowledge of action becomes influential in the triad task designed for the purpose of this research as follows: (i) when it is presented in conjunction with taxonomic information, (ii) when it is presented with a context, and (iii) when participants are first asked to physically interact with the objects.
