Overview

Descriptions of Dunedin Volcano sites such as Aramoana are based on the 100+ year old work of Marshall and therefore there is a need for revision with modern technology.

In this project you will utilize aerial (drone) images to construct 3D models of type-locality eruptive sequences and subsequently use visualization software to project lithological boundaries and infer flow directions and vent sites.
