Lake coring and GPR fieldwork

by Tehnuka

The Tephra Seismites team has had a busy month, with successful field campaigns conducting ground-penetrating radar (GPR) at Rotoroa/Hamilton Lake with Dr Andrew Lorrey and John-Mark Woolley (NIWA), and sediment coring at seven Hamilton Basin lakes with Dr Marcus Vandergoes and Henry Gard (Lakes380 and GNS Science).

This follows fieldwork with Dr Pilar Villamor and Genevieve Coffey (GNS Science) in February to continue investigating Te Puninga Fault, also using GPR.

Thank you to our collaborators, and all those who helped with fieldwork permission and access.
