Urban Risk and Resources - Waitemata Harbour - Hauraki Gulf -
Firth of Thames. We have combined seismic reflection surveying
techniques, with swath bathymetry data collected by the RNZN.
This data is used to map volcanic flow deposits, faults (active
and historic) and investigate relationships between these
features and volcanic vents and basement faults. - Wellington
Fault and faulting near the Somes Island basement block.
Sediment thickness estimates within the Wellington Harbour basin
are important for modelling earthquake propagation/shaking
models in the region. - Hutt Aquifer as it surfaces and escapes
within the harbour - important information for water resource
models and harbour seafloor usage planning.
