Overview
For several years, OCEN 323 has been running an annual field school to Stewart Island. During that time, we have developed a large dataset of seismic boomer data – complemented by CHIRP, multibeam, sediment samples and cores. The data are calling out to be integrated and analysed as a coherent package.
Projects could involve a wide range of topics including:
- Structural controls on the Paterson Inlet basin
- Glacial period environmental systems and erosional processes in the basin
- Holocene infill history
- Biogenic natural gas systems within the inlet
Recommended preparation
- GEOL 261/361 (geophysics)
- OCEN 323 (marine geology)
- GEOL 262/362 (geochemistry)
