Summary

During my undergrad I undertook a research internship with the Earthbyte Group where I got to model the quaternary evolution of the Gulf of Papua. This work evolved over the next year to also include reefs and carbonate growth. Using the modelling tool Badlands and a whole bunch of data-inputs we created a source-to-sink landscape evolution model over the last 2 million years.

Here are some animations where you can see our model of the erosion and deposition through time in the Gulf of Papua.
