Summary
The School of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences at Victoria University of Wellington is offering a 3-year PhD scholarship on earthquake processes in greywacke, New Zealand’s most common rock type.
The Marsden-funded PhD project will answer fundamental questions about how fluids affect fault strength and earthquake nucleation. Research will involve structural field geology, rock deformation experiments, and applied geophysics.
