Huge congratulations to Shreya on her PhD graduation. She unfortunately was in absentia at Auckland, but that did not stop her with celebrating with family and friends in the US! We will celebrate when we see each other soon!

GRL #2 manuscript for Shreya!
Continuing on the celebrations, Shreya’s 2nd thesis chapter is not published as a GRL manuscript: High Remanent Magnetization Measured in Hydrothermally Altered Lavas. In this study we show that hydrothermal alteration in volcanoes is not always associated the low rocks magnetization. Moreover, it show that for Whakaari, remanent magnetization, dominates over induced magnetization. Congratulations Shreya!
Congratulations to Shreya Kanakiya for her PhD defence
Hooray! Shreya had an excellent defence of her thesis yesterday. She had the examiner’s questions thoroughly prepared and also answered all others very well. I’m not sure what measures as harder work for you Shreya, climbing Mt Taranaki or your thesis defense, but based on my observations I would go with Mt.Taranaki 🙂 Congratulations Dr. Read More…
Shreya’s GRL paper on volcanic conduit alteration is out!
Congratulations to Shreya Kanakiya for publishing her first paper of her PhD thesis! This is one of many to come … Her Geophysical Research Letters publication entitled The Role of Tuffs in Sealing Volcanic Conduits describes how acid-sulphate alteration aids the sealing of a volcanic conduit. She presents evidence of how this type of Read More…
Congratulations to James Clarke
Three out of three! Congratulations to James Clarke for publishing his third manuscript entitled LP or VT signals? How intrinsic attenuation influences volcano seismic signatures constrained by Whakaari volcano parameters in JVGR. In this study we show how seismic wave attenuation and reverberations due to a shallow low-velocity layer can transform volcano-tectonic signals into Read More…
Congratulations to Jirapat Charoensawan
Congratulations to Jirapat (Patt) for the publication of his Msc thesis as a journal article in Frontiers of Earth Sciences. The numerical simulations and experiments show how the the contribution of mineral anisotropy vs that of oriented fractures influence elastic wave anisotropy for Alpine Fault mylonite rocks. The paper is entitled Fracture Shape and Orientation Read More…
Seismic wave attenuation in volcanic rocks
Congratulations to James Clarke for the publication of his second paper in JVGR from his doctoral thesis entitled The influence of fluid type on elastic wave velocity and attenuation in volcanic rocks
Seismic signatures of protomylonite rocks in the Alpine Fault accepted in JGR
A team effort across several universities (Otago, EHT, Durham and Johannes Gutenberg Universitat-Mainz) has resulted in a publication accepted in the Journal of Geophysical Research entitled Seismic anisotropy and its impact on imaging the shallow Alpine Fault: an experimental and modeling perspective. We show that microfractures in Alpine Fault protomylonite rocks can remain open at Read More…
CONGRATULATIONS TO JAMES FOR A VERY SUCCESSFUL PhD THESIS DEFENCE!
Early this week James Clarke defended this thesis entitled: “Laboratory and Numerical Experiments to Infer the Effects of Fluids on Volcano Seismicity”. Please read the post in our sister-lab PAL. We are very proud of you James! Below is James on his visit to collect samples at White Island in 2017.
Evert’s graduation
Evert Duran graduated with fellow PAL members Jami Johnson-Shepherd and Sam Hitchman in the May Graduation Ceremony! Congratulations to all of them and all we wish them all best as they develop their post-doctoral lives. Evert, Kasper and I are very proud of your doctoral achievements!
