Structural geology
Active tectonics Geomorphology |
A graduate geologist (MSc(Hons) Geol), working within the ground engineering sector. I have a background in structural geology and fault mechanics, having previously studied at Victoria University of Wellington. I have a passion for earth science and the environment.
Ongoing projects: Low-angle normal faulting within Woodlark Rift, Eastern Papua New Guinea. Ongoing work is to document rider block abandonment atop the Mai'iu fault, and Mohr-Coulomb modelling of this process. Publications and conference papers: Webber, S., et al., How fast can low-angle normal faults slip? Insights from cosmogenic exposure dating of the active Mai’iu fault, Papua New Guinea. Geology, 2018. 46(3): p. 227 - 230.
