Tectonic-fluvial geomorphology PhD candidate researching fault and river interactions. Breast cancer survivor and lover of rocks, fossils, and hiking.
In 2016 the Papatea fault ruptured, where ~6.5m of fault uplift diverted the river into a new course, scouring out this ~250-400 m wide avulsion channel (footage taken in 2021). Note the white truck sitting on top of the Papatea fault scarp for scale. 🧪 #geology #geomorphology #womeninSTEM
