[Folda] Friday Seminar - 5 May 12:30 - John Haines "The Darfield Mw 7.1 earthquake of 4 September 2010 and the Christchurch Mw 6.3 aftershock of 22 February 2011”

[Maria H. Janebo]

Dear all,

the Friday seminar series continues next Friday (5 May) at 12:30 in the seminar room on the 3rd floor with a presentation given by:


John Haines: "The Darfield Mw 7.1 earthquake of 4 September 2010 and the Christchurch Mw 6.3 aftershock of 22 February 2011”

The M7.1 Darfield main shock ruptured the Greendale fault in 2010, rupturing a previously unknown fault, now termed the Greendale fault. The Christchurch main shock also ruptured an unknown active fault. Both events caused significant damage and loss of lives. A large number of scientist has been studying these events since, and this talk summarises the main findings.
These include:

•       Source models: from seismology and geodesy

•       Hydrology: Canterbury Plains and elsewhere

•       Kaiapoi: Liquifaction in Darfield EQ

•       Port Hills: Rock fall and such in Christchurch EQ

•       General damage: Both earthquakes and where to rebuild

•       Seismic waves: Site effect recording

•       Extreme motions 




Maren & Maria
