32 Appendix 6 Climate Stations Used for Temperature Interpolations (Sects , 5.2.6, and 5.2.7) The following tables list climate stations used in this study for temperature calculations. Table A6.1 specifies climate stations close to the debris flow study areas (Agent # refers to National Climate Database ID (NIWA 2010). Since the network of temperature-recording climate stations is sparse in the Southern Alps, nearby stations are identical for study areas of a given region. Climate stations are consequently grouped according to region. The stations highlighted in grey were used for frost-weathering intensity calculations (Sect ) for the study area noted in the last column. Mean annual temperature surfaces for the prediction of permafrost in the individual study areas (Sects and 5.2.7) were calculated by inter- and extrapolating between all the stations listed for the respective region. These regional lists are excerpts of Table A6.2 which lists all the South Island climate stations that were available for the calculation of mean annual temperature surfaces for the training and application of the permafrost distribution model (Sect ). Data from climate stations closest to the location of interest were denoted the highest weight in the calculations. Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016 K.

35 Appendix 7 Preliminary Permafrost Distribution Estimate for the Irishman Stream Valley, Central Ben Ohau Range (Sect ) The placement of miniature temperature data loggers for ground surface temperature monitoring was based on a preliminary permafrost distribution estimate for the head area of the Irishman Stream catchment and surrounding slopes. This preparatory estimate was derived from the mean toe elevation (per aspect class) of intact rock glaciers mapped in the Ben Ohau Range. Black symbols and white labels mark the logger location and corresponding site name. Basemap: Orthophotograph (Terralink ). Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016 K.

50 Appendix 9 Variance Inflation Factors for Regression Analyses The variance inflation factor (VIF) is a measure for multicollinearity between predictors in a regression model (e.g. Field 2005; Gordon 2012). A VIF values greater than 10 is considered critical. Average VIF values markedly above 1 indicate that multicollinearity might be biasing the regression model. Variance inflation factors for the regression models in Sect : Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016 K.
