Abstract
Raised beaches preserved around Port Nicholson and along the southern Wellington coast can be correlated with uplifts that occurred in A.D. 1855 and c. A.D. 1460. Records of older movements of base level are also preserved, correlated with either eustatic sea-level fluctuations or tectonic activity. The raised beaches are mapped and described. The evolution of the Hutt Valley and Miramar Peninsula is discussed.Keywords
