Tunnels are classified as complex engineering structures, which requires careful analysis and design procedures. Any instability of tunnels will be highly detrimental to their performance thereby posing a threat to public safety, consequently cause life-threatening and infrastru…

This thesis investigates the use of growth stratigraphy in deepwater environments to determine fault kinematics and reservoir distribution in the Niger Delta and assess earthquake hazards associated with blind-thrust faults in the Santa Barbara Channel, California. Chapter 1 ana…

The southwest Pacific is a tectonically complicated region consisting of two large igneous provinces (LIPs) on the ocean floor formed approximately 120 Ma. The formation of these two plateaus, the Ontong Java Plateau (OJP) and Manihiki Plateau (MP), along with one further south,…

Seismologists use the seismic wavefield to image the Earth’s structure at a wide range of scales, from a few meters to 1000s of km. Sources (earthquakes, explosions, etc.) of seismic waves can also be located and distinguished using the seismic wavefield. In this dissertation, I…
