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)
