This thesis comprises two separate but interesting projects that attempt to constrain the internal history of planetary bodies. The first set attempts to interpret the Moon's internal thermal history from the relaxation state of lunar impact basins. As the Moon cools, impact str…

Determining plate boundary kinematics and fault slip rates is critical to gaining an understanding of the seismogenic nature of the faults. The kinematics of plate boundaries vary widely and are a reflection of plate boundaries history, current tectonic regime, geology, and crus…

Most of the Cenozoic tectonic evolution in New Guinea is a result of obliquely convergent motion that led to an arc-continent collision between the Australian and Pacific Plates. The results of detailed structural mapping at the Gunung Bijih (Ertsberg) Mining District (GBMD) alo…
