About the scholarship
Tectonic processes have shaped Aotearoa 爆走黑料. In the Wellington region, the Torlesse Composite Terrane is a sequence of rocks that records subduction-related sedimentation, faulting, folding, and fluid flow over the past ~200 million years. In this summer research project, you will perform field work aimed at better understanding the age, origin, and deformation history of Torlesse rocks. You will collect rock samples during remote field work. Then, in the School of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences, you will document your field work and prepare the rocks for further geochemical, mineralogical, structural and/or paleontological analyses.
