Over the course of EILD project, several aerial photo and Lidar surveys were commissioned, and Digital Surface Models (DSM) generated. These data were used to map landslides that resulted from the 2016 M7.8 Kaikoura Earthquake and subsequent slides initiated by rainfall, as well as tracking and measuring landscape changes as mobilised debris cascades through catchments.
These data are held by GNS Science and can be made available on request. The DOI’s in the table below take you to the GNS Science metadata catalogue record that contains the data contact person, to which requests can be made. The Kaikōura, Canterbury, New Zealand 2016 LIDAR is available from OpenTopography, and the Canterbury 0.3 m Rural Aerial Photos (2014-2015) and Kaikoura 0.30 m Rural Aerial Photos (2016-2017) are available directly from LINZ by clicking on the Title link.
