think you need to readress your lindslide threat given the kiakoura quake , kinda blows this vid out of the water

Kaikoura earthquake, the day of the supermoon:
Google
Mountains built within minutes take thousands of years to crumble IS mountains continuously rising for millions of years -
Very interesting data, the lakes are especially compelling considering two lakes at either end of the region have produced identical results.
So it seems as though we are heading for a sub 300 year recurrence interval, time to get ready folks. -
hmmm me thinks you got the wrong coast
-
this lecture is way complex. have to find something about alpine fault that is more about possible threat, signs & how to deal with it
-
What is likely to happen to the Hydro system in the MacKenzie country and Waitaki as well as the Clutha etc?
-
That fault is not moving, South NZ east coast is the real problem.

Great job to everyone who presented here and the whole team behind it. This is really fascinating stuff, and it's always amazing to watch how you go about the science of determining what actually has happened in the past. I also loved the final presentation which used the data to make some really useful recommendations. A perfect little hour-long example of how science works and benefits us all.

So much for land value

Ha ha ha yeahhhh.... I live on the alpine fault line. I'm screwed for when it goes off. It's supposed to be a magnitude 8.0 I ain't looking forward to it.

Avoid the 'est' it is 'iffy' at best...should read.
-
Alpine Fault the fastest in world on land? How can it be so with 35mm year slip rate at Wallace Creek, Carrizo Plain, California? Offset stream beds don't lie.....avoid the 'est', its iffy at best !
-
What are the chances of the Hikurangi Trench going off in the next 50 years? Living in Hawke's Bay I'm more concerned about that rather than the Alpine Fault. Have you done predictions/modelling for that event? Thanks

Love your GNS Keep it up
-
Thanks for sharing this video. Let's hope that people watch and understand it...

Very educational/I LUV IT!

why on earth are you guys obsessed with the alpine fault? Sure, it used to be significant, providing a connection between the northern faults via the bridging faults - the last of which was in marlborough. Given that the currently active bridging fault is in ChCh, how is it supposed to connect to the alpine fault? The only way through the alps is down via twizel - which is where we see the actual earthquakes.
The alpine fault seems like a fixation without evidence beyond historic -
What would this mean for the main rivers, eg the Waimakariri River in North Canterbury?

Your Job is no good while there is fracking. and drilling and mining and
Genetic engineering mixed with HAARP within the skies.
you are living in the old days.
