ON TOMORROW (21 March) at 10:00am the QuakeCoRE Seminar Series: 🪨 Key Breakthroughs, Methodological Advances & Underexplored Processes & Datasets: Outcomes from the Earthquake-induced Landscapes Dynamics, Endeavour Programme (2018 to 2023) 🗣️Presented by: Chris Massey (GNS Science) 📍 Large earthquakes, like the November 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikōura Earthquake, can generate thousands of landslides, landslide dams and damage hillslopes that are susceptible to failure during rainstorms and aftershocks. ⛰️ This debris, when mobilised, creates new hazards, including further landslides, landslide dams, rapid aggradation and formation of alluvial fans and floodplains, and increased river channel instability, as the debris cascades from hillslope to sea. ⚠️ These hazards may persist for decades and therefore represent a prolonged risk that must be managed by the impacted communities and stakeholders. 🎯 In this Seminar, Chris will summarise the outcomes from a five-year research programme (2018-2023) that focused on developing a framework and set of tools that will better inform landslide risk avoidance and residual risk-management methods and practices for people and stakeholders affected by the Kaikōura Earthquake and by future earthquakes in New Zealand and overseas. 👉 Full details, including how to join the Seminar are available on our website: https://lnkd.in/g7tvyXPh Join this webinar on Zoom: https://buff.ly/41qNcqq (password – 389905) All welcome. #QCSeminarSeries #Earthquakes #NaturalHazards #Landslides #RiskManagement

🌏 Can microtremors tell us what to expect during major tremors – i.e., can earth’s ambient vibrations be used to predict how the ground surface will shake in earthquakes? 📈 To design buildings to withstand earthquakes, engineers need to know what kind of earthquakes the building is likely to experience, how far away the earthquakes will be, and also how the soil or rock under the building site will respond to shaking. Chris de la Torre of the University of Canterbury has used a Te Hiranga Rū QuakeCoRE proposal development grant to advance investigation into using microtremors for predicting how soils amplify seismic waves. 📍 Chris is aiming to make it easy to characterise building sites, “Ultimately, we want to be able to predict ground amplification at any site simply by deploying a temporary seismological instrument and recording ground vibrations for a short time.” 👉 Read the QuakeCoRE Research Story here: https://lnkd.in/gzQXvspH #QCResearchStory #SeismicResilience #GeotechnicalEngineering #Microtremors #AmbientVibrations cc: UC Civil and Natural Resources Engineering

📈 The intersection of seismic data, machine learning and volcanoes QuakeCoRE Associate Investigator David Dempsey (University of Canterbury) and colleagues have recently published a paper demonstrating the use of machine learning to analyse seismic vibrations of volcanoes to predict eruptions. David explains in his helpful blog post (linked below) how he's using AI to support his research. ➡️ Read the blog post here: https://lnkd.in/gCFj9yYh 👉 Paper available here: https://lnkd.in/gc4dRT7W #MachineLearning #SeismicResilience #AI #NaturalHazards #Geophysics cc: UC Civil and Natural Resources Engineering

🚧 The Natural Hazards and Resilience Platform (NHRP) is a new collaborative natural hazards resilience research programme, funded by the Ministry of Business and Employment (MBIE). It is a mission-led, multi-disciplinary and multi-organisational platform that is continuing the important work done by the Resilience to Nature's Challenges National Science Challenge that concluded last year. In the coming weeks and months, NHRP will be seeking expressions of interest from research to leadership. 👉 To receive information and updates about the NHRP research planning process it is vital that you sign up at the link below.
