Research Interests
I鈥檓 interested in earthquakes, paleoseismology, modelling and seismic hazard studies. I have completed work on the complexities of the 1929 Buller (Murchison) Earthquake. I am now working with the Resilience to Nature鈥檚 Challenge Phase 2 Earthquake and Tsunami Theme using paleoseismic records and synthetic seismicity models to help better understand seismic risk in central New Zealand. I love getting out in the field.
