• MSc student

  • 2010 - 2012

  The title of my thesis was Shifting eruption styles during the emergence of Akaroa strato-shield volcano, Banks Peninsula, New Zealand. This research focused on the description and identification of volcanic rocks on the inner shore-platforms of Akaroa harbor. With the aim of identifying styles of volcanism and producing a model of development for the early stages of the volcanic complex. Techniques used were, extensive field mapping using air photos, GPS and Arc GIS, detailed stratigraphic logging and a large sampling campaign for petrological description and geochemical analysis.
