This Friday marks the tenth anniversary of the magnitude 7.1 Darfield earthquake in Canterbury.  Former leader of the Natural Hazards and Risks Theme at GNS Science, Dr Kelvin Berryman, offers some thoughts on the earthquake and its ramifications.   

A scientific model that estimates the likelihood and strength of earthquake shaking in different parts of New Zealand is being revised to reflect the latest research knowledge.

A series of research findings from GNS Science will include a new detailed geological map of the Napier-Hastings urban area – the first for that area for half a century.
