Funded MSc Research Opportunity 2018/19: Auckland Faulting
Deadline: Until filled
A $15,000 scholarship is available in 2018/19 for an MSc research project that will synthesise all relevant existing geological, structural, geophysical, geomorphic, paleoseismic and historical earthquake data pertaining to faulting and within the Auckland region and establish an ‘evolving’ GIS database at the University of Auckland to manage, add and visualise such data. This project will ideally include the interpretation or reinterpretation of remote datasets. Slip and dilatational tendency analysis will be performed to identify potentially ‘active’ structures that may accommodate deformation under the current stress regime.
For more information contact Jennifer Eccles j.eccles@auckland.ac.nz. Julie Rowland, Jon Tunnicliffe and Martin Brook will also be involved in the supervision of these projects as appropriate.
