Field trips

Taupo Volcanic Zone

For me, the Taupo Volcanic Zone is one of the most amazing places on Earth, with fantastic geology. Over the past few weeks, I have been working with GNS Science on projects investigating the evolution of magmas within the region.

No matter how many times I visit, the geothermal areas, are absolutely amazing and fascinating to explore

One of my favourite parts of the recent fieldwork was revisiting some of the sites from my PhD and sharing my knowledge with visiting graduate students. Here we are exploring the Taupo and Whakamaru eruption deposits
