	DIALOG Dissertation Abstracts
		Doubtful Sound is the only fjord altered by additional freshwater input from the Manapouri hydroelectric power station (HEPS).
		Based on these temporal and spatial descriptions, it is hypothesised that diatom growth in Doubtful Sound is promoted by mixing of the phosphate deplete/high silicic acid LSL and the silicic acid deplete/high phosphate SL, at a depth in the upper water column where irradiance levels are adequate to sustain photosynthesis.
		In Doubtful Sound, the constant input of high silicic acid via the HEPS discharge was associated with a persistant diatom community, which was not present in the relatively low freshwater/silicic acid waters of most non-HEPS fjords all dominated by flagellates.

		Compression was followed by a post-orogenic collapse concentrated in the middle Cretaceous, during which this foliation and large-scale shear zones at Doubtful Sound may have been reactivated as planes of weakness influencing the geometry of deformation.
		At Milford Sound, the steep ESE dip of this dominant foliation exposed in the exhumed lower crustal basement varies dramatically from the flat-lying foliation in the middle crust exhibited at Doubtful Sound.
		Early expeditions of Doubtful Sound described the western Fiordland shear zone to be a Paleozoic ductile thrust fault (Oliver, 1980) which was believed to have formed during the Tuhua Orogeny (figures 12 and 13).
