General Research Interests |
|
| Sedimentology and basin analysis in tectonically active margins,
particularly convergent margins and terrane accretion. Research interests
include petrographic and geochemical techniques for provenance analysis,
the interaction of volcanic and sedimentary processes, structural control
on basin geometry and facies distributions, and basin response to oblique
plate convergence. Geoarcheology is a new interest and we have recently
developed a new programme in that area. Current areas of research include:
quartz provenance analysis using cathodoluminescence, terrane accretion
and provenance analysis in Antarctica, volcanic sedimentation and basin
analysis along the modern plate boundary in New Zealand. Geoarcheology is
a developing program. |
