Soon to be posted here: [copy of a paragraph from Taryn's proposal]

Site under construction

(sorry Adam, I'm not happy with my proposal paragraphs yet, but I will have one on here tonight.)

In the meanwhile:

Earthquakes have cost the lives of nearly 400,000 people in the South Asia region in the past two years. These earthquakes and associated tsunami are sourced from a build-up of stress due to convergence of the Indo-Australian and Asian Plates. As a result to stress buildup, the Timor region of the Indonesian Tsunami Machine has some of the most extensive flights of emergent coral reef terraces in the world. This paper proposes to investigate these marine terraces for the purpose of quantifying the distribution of strain over a range of temporal and spatial scales in a unique arc-continent collision zone.

Word.
