	RISE, Risingville Intercommunity Service Effort (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		CHATHAM - Each summer for the last 15 years, youth and adults from churches throughout New Jersey and other states have packed their tools, old cloths, and work boots and headed for a rural area in the southern tier of the Appalachian Mountains of New York.
		RISE was founded in 1980 by the late Rev. Dale H. Forsman through the efforts of adults and youth in Chatham United Methodist Church and former Chatham residents Caryl and Noel Sylvester and their church in Risingville, NY.
		RISE is currently managed by a volunteer Board of Directors from New Jersey and New York, which works closely with the agencies and resident of Steuben County, NY.

	Chatham Dockyard
		Chatham dockyard, situated on the Medway, was a major naval base for the Royal Navy for many centuries during the reigns of Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, James I and Charles I. For ex-employees and families of ex-employees of Chatham Dockyard a message board has been set up click here to view messages.
		The true reason for the rise of Chatham as a Naval centre was the relative proximity of the place to London, and the facility of access by water.
		The Naval importance of Chatham is shown by the institution of the Chatham Chest by Hawkins, Drake and others in 1590, for the relief and support for injured or disabled sailors.

		The Chatham Islands and their biota have long been thought to be of ancient origin.
		The Chathams may have emerged in response to a regional tectonic uplift event that affected the entire eastern end of the Chatham Rise.
		The Chathams offer a splendid opportunity to determine the role of dispersal/colonization in the establishment of an island fauna and flora across 850 km of ocean.

		The islands are located at the eastern extension of the Chatham Rise which runs due west toward New Zealand and which together with Campbell Plateau, the Lord Howe Rise, Norfolk Rise and Three Kings Rise, is considered to be part of the ancient supercontinent Gondwanaland.
		Because the Chatham’s are isolated in distance and geological time from New Zealand mainland, it is not surprising that they have the highest proportion of endemic plants of any region of comparable size in New Zealand, with 40 to 45 species and varieties found nowhere else.
		It is particularly difficult to assess the extent and importance of the Chathams during the second or middle period (1810 to 1835) because records are far and few between, especially for the first half of this second period.

	CHATHAM RISE - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
		The Chatham Rise is an elongated submarine platform running eastward from the neighbourhood of Banks Peninsula, and extending over 100 miles beyond the Chatham Islands.
		The crest of the Rise lies mainly at depths between 100 and 300 fathoms, but it rises to 28 fathoms at the highest point of the Mernoo Bank (near the western end of the Rise) and breaks surface at the Chatham Islands.
		The width of the Rise, measured at the 500-fathom isobath, ranges from 75 miles in the centre of the Rise to 115 miles at the Chathams and 130 miles opposite Mernoo Bank.

		Throughout the rest of the year the adults are dispersed around the edge of the Stewart and Snares shelf, over large areas of the Sub-Antarctic and Chatham Rise, and to a lesser extent around the North Island.

		ECO spokesperson, Barry Weeber, said the decision on the Chatham Rise orange roughy stocks followed new assessments for parts of the area which showed they were much less healthy than previously portrayed by the Ministry of Fisheries.
		The Chatham Rise fishery was lauded internationally as a sustainable fishery but mounting evidence has shown that not to be the case.
		The new assessment estimates the current stock size on the north-west Chatham Rise at 11 percent of the unfished stock size and the north-east Chatham Rise hills has been reduced to 14 percent of the unfished stock size.

	Internal tides over the Chatham Rise - NIWA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The best known tides are the regular, twice-daily rises and falls of the ocean surface over distances of about a metre – the so-called external tides.
		So we would expect them to be generated over the Chatham Rise, the large underwater plateau to the east of New Zealand, which is also an area with strong external tides.
		Note the marked double rise and fall in temperature in May 1997 (upper panel) and the much more subtle rise and fall in April 1999 (lower panel).

	Detailed structure of the Subtropical Front over Chatham Rise, east of New Zealand
		The dominant impact of seasonality is the formation and decay of a seasonal thermocline of fairly constant depth over the entire region.
		Velocity measurements indicate eastward zonal flows on the northern and southern flanks of Chatham Rise.
		The flow over Chatham Rise is complicated by stirring processes but has a mean southward trend consistent with the less dense, warm, salty subtropical water (STW) overriding the more dense, cold, fresh subantarctic water (SAW) to the south.

	Abstract,Marine Science, Otago University , New Zealand
		Macrobenthic samples were collected along 3 north-south transects at 244-1394 m depth across the Chatham Rise, eastern New Zealand, to examine the distribution of polychaete assemblages in the region of the Subtropical Convergence (STC).
		Two main assemblages were identified: at 244-663 m depth occurring mainly on the crest of the Rise, and at 802-1394 m on the slopes of the Rise.
		Community composition differed, however, between the northern and southern slopes of the Rise.

		The crest of Chatham Rise marks the position of the STC, separating warm subtropical waters in the north from cooler, more nutrient-rich subantarctic waters in the south.
		Up to 6 Ma, the rate of accumulation decreased gradually in response to a reduction in the terrigenous supply, as suggested by a concomitant decrease in reflectance values and the lack of visually identifiable sedimentary cycles (note the spectrophotometer-detected color cyclicity was invisible to the naked eye).
		It would appear that following the burst of deposition between 5 and 6 Ma, northern Chatham Rise either became increasingly isolated from the terrigenous input from New Zealand or conditions on the Rise became less conducive to deposition.

	The deep-sea finned Octopoda of New Zealand
		Currently it is known only from soft substrates, and was particularly common as a bycatch species from the scampi fishery in the Bay of Plenty and around the Auckland Islands (although it does not appear as common today as it was a decade or so ago).
		This very rare species is represented in museum collections by two immature specimens, collected together off the Chatham Rise at c.
		The animal when mature is probably small (fitting in two outstretched palms), dark red to maroon over all body surfaces, and elongated along its axis to give it a bell-shaped, longer-than-wide appearance; the fins are quite large.
