Building Wellington’s earthquake resilience
We’re proud to partner with the Natural Hazards Commission Toka Tū Ake with a presentation on building Wellington’s earthquake resilience.
It’s Our Fault: Nō Mātou Te Hapa studies the forces that shape Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington region, and looks at how we prepare for and recover from earthquakes.
In this talk GNS scientists Dr Nicola Litchfield, Dr Kate Clark, Dr Sheng-Lin Lin and Dr William Power take you through the latest research, what we know about New Zealand’s largest and most active fault – the Hikurangi Subduction Zone, share the latest tsunami modelling for Wellington, and discuss how scientists and iwi are working together.
This talk is thanks to the Natural Hazards Commission Toka Tū Ake(external link) Active Land series which highlights the diverse range of cutting-edge research into natural hazards happening in Wellington.
