[iris-bulk] (Job) Alpine Fault MSc project, Victoria Univ. of Wellington

[IRIS]

SHALLOW STRUCTURE OF THE ALPINE FAULT ZONE, WESTLAND, NEW ZEALAND

We seek a suitably qualified student to undertake MSc research  
commencing on 1 August 2009 or as soon as possible thereafter.   
Funding to provide a stipend and cover the costs of enrolment at the  
domestic tuition rate for two years has been secured as part of a  
larger project supported by the Marsden Fund.

The MSc project is directed at understanding the shallow structure of  
the central section of the Alpine fault using geophysical methods. The  
work will focus on several catchments including the Whataroa, Waiho,  
and Karangarua, and possibly extend as far south as Haast.  Detailed  
gravity, magnetic and seismic work will be undertaken to establish the  
subsurface structure of the top 1-2 km of the fault.

The Institute of Geophysics is in the School of Geography, Environment  
and Earth Sciences on the Kelburn campus of Victoria University. This  
project will be conducted in collaboration with colleagues at GNS  
Science and other New Zealand universities and contribute to site  
characterisation studies being undertaken as part of the Deep Fault  
Drilling Project (see http://tinyurl.com/c7w6j9 for details).
