(*principal or split co-supervisory role)
TAMARAH KING (PhD)*
Title: Geologic expressions of faulting and earthquake strong ground motions in intraplate bedrock terrains
What it’s about: Petermann Ranges earthquake fault rupture and bedrock outcrop damage, precarious landforms as deep-time seismometers, deep-time tectonic geomorphology, 3-D photogrammetry, 3-D printing, and shake-table experiments
HIWA MOHAMMADI (PhD)*
Title: Coulomb stress modelling of recent and paleo-earthquakes in Australia and New Zealand
What it’s about: Static stress transfer modelling to understand rupture processes in contemporary earthquakes and forecast rupture scenarios for future ruptures in south-central Australia and New Zealand’s South Island.
