Taranaki Geological Society Special 2026 Geoscience Lecturer Meeting:

"Do New Zealand’s active faults and volcanoes talk to each other? Insights from 25 years of trenching ancient faults".

Dr. Pilar Villamor

The talk will be about the paleo-seismic studies in the Taupo Volcanic Zone and how we have found evidence of time associations between prehistoric fault ruptures (i.e. large earthquakes) and volcanic eruptions.
