My research interests are in the application of geophysical analytical techniques to geological problems. Currently, my research ranges across the spectrum of controlled-source seismology: from high-resolution marine reflection seismology to lithosphere-scale refraction seismology. Some of my main focuses these days are the examination of gas hydrates on the continental shelf, the use of high-resolution seismic methods to image seafloor sedimentary units, seismic oceanography (imaging water masses within the ocean), seismic imaging of sub-ice-shelf geology, and the characterisation of fault structures on the South Island of New Zealand.
