Rockfall Activity Rates Before, During and After the 2010/2011 Canterbury Earthquake Sequence

C. I. Massey,M. J. Olsen,J. Wartman,A. Senogles,B. Lukovic,B. A. Leshchinsky,G. Archibald,N. Litchfield,R. Van Dissen,S. de Vilder,C. Holden First published: JGR Earth Surface, Volume 127, Issue 3, 16 March 2022 https://doi.org/10.1029/2021JF006400 Evidence from previous earthquakes suggests that the frequency of land sliding after a large earthquake is significantly higher than before it. Strong earthquakes cause slope […]

Drilling through an earthquake landslide

Geological drilling to gain core samples and geophysical measurements through huge landslides that occurred during the Kaikōura Earthquake of 2016. This research will enable a better understanding of landslide hazards relating to future earthquakes around New Zealand, and how to plan for them.

Landslide field mapping and geophysical surveys

By: Corinne Singeisen, PhD Student, Theme 1 - Landslide severity In November 2020 and January 2021 a team from GNS Science, University of Canterbury, and University of Auckland spent several weeks in the field collecting data from landslides triggered by the 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake. Our goal was to get a better understanding of […]

Earthquake damage to the Hutton’s Shearwater nesting colonies, Seaward Kaikōura range.

People were not the only living creatures affected by the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake. The Hutton’s shearwater or Kaikōura tītī (Puffinus huttoni) is an endangered seabird endemic to the Kaikōura region that nests between 1200-1800 m above sea level in the Seaward Kaikōura Range. These areas are generally only accessible by helicopter. The birds were once […]
