Free event – Building Wellington’s earthquake resilience together
Building Wellington’s earthquake resilience together, Te Papa, Wellington Tues 13 August 6.30-7.30 pm
We’re proud to partner with the Natural Hazards Commission Toka Tū Ake with a talk on building Wellington’s earthquake resilience.
In this talk GNS scientists Dr Nicola Litchfield, Dr Kate Clark, Dr Sheng-Lin Lin and Dr William Power will 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.
The It’s Our Fault: Nō Mātou Te Hapa programme studies the forces that shape Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington region, and looks at how we prepare for and recover from earthquakes.
This talk is thanks to the Natural Hazards Commission Toka Tū Ake Active Land series and highlights the diverse range of cutting-edge research into natural hazards happening in Wellington.
