Murray-Wallace, Colin

Overview

My research interests have primarily focused on aspects of Quaternary coastal and marine geology, particularly in terms of long-term coastal evolution in response to relative sea-level changes. I have examined a diverse range of coastal regions and continental shelf environments. A substantial part of my research has been based in southern Australia in view of my specific interests in the development of sedimentary carbonates during the Quaternary period. In addition, I have undertaken fieldwork and published papers on the coastal geology of the following regions; Hawaii (Oahu, Molokai and Kauai); Vietnam (between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City); South Africa (Southern Cape Coastline and the Wilderness region). Studies of Quaternary sea-level changes, neotectonism (recent vertical crustal movements) in coastal regions and the derivation of models of coastal evolution represent unifying themes in my research.
