We published a paper detailing the progress made on TecPIV:  2-D finite displacements and strain from particle imaging velocimetry (PIV) analysis of tectonic analogue models with TecPIV. The open-access paper can be downloaded from the link above.

More information on the software here, and the source here.

We are looking for a post-doc to work on cover sequences in the MinEx CRC NDI areas in NSW. The role focuses on the characterisation of the cover, its key interfaces and identification of the signatures of basement geology and mineral system footprints.

The position is a GSNSW-embedded researcher, providing unparalleled access to GSNSW research environment and capacity on top of the University of Newcastle Earth Sciences group.

Being  MinEx funded the position also provides a fantastic opportunity for collaborating with other participating state surveys, GA, CSIRO, and a number of other MinEx CRC partners.
