The story of the Hikurangi Plateau
The Hikurangi Plateau is a Cretaceous Large Igneous Province (LIP) in the SW Pacific Ocean. In this talk I will summarise 35 years of geophysical and geological research on the Hikurangi Plateau, as a story of progressive discovery and investigation. The story will begin in the ‘plateau-free’ 1980s, include the 2002-03 Sonne-168 voyage, and conclude with a couple of aspects that I am still working on.
