Research record and ongoing work
Field work was completed in the early 1990s. My previous work in the Solomons is
published in a 1998 Tectonophysics paper and in a 2005 special issue of
Tectonophysics. In the early 2000s the focus of work shifted to Papua New Guinea
(Milne Bay Province).
Offshore data is crucial for understanding tsunamis and patterns of active faults.
One potential project is to focus on high resolution mapping of faults and potential
failure zones on slopes (this has not been done previously and could form the basis for
a MS or PhD study involving a Solomon Islander).

Further ideas and reflections
Perhaps a Solomon Islander grad student could work at both UT Austin and Stavanger
Univ as part of an exchange program. Development funds might be sought to support
this effort (Norway, Taiwan). Amounts needed would be in the $200,000 to $300,000
US range (excluding salaries).
