GNS Science is New Zealand's geoscience research CRI, exploring and monitoring our resources, geological hazards and environment. We do intrepid science in the land and ocean crust of New Zealand!
I was 8yrs old and lived in Ahaura and will never ever forget that morning, I thought the roar before the shaking started was the train going over the Ahaura rail bridge
- seismic waves - going 2300 meters per second through hard dens stone so hey nou from a lets say 1000 kg big bag of sand idk sound ridiculously fast sounds too fast
Thank you for your question. You may like to look at our landslide database at data.gns.cri.nz/landslides/wms.html If you zoom in on Taihape, you can see the streets that are in the affected area.
Regular tremors are good as its gradual release of pressure. What we don’t want is for it all to go quiet. We had a few last week which just oiled the works.
In this article there's a photo that was taken of the CBD during the quake which shows rising dust plumes due to the "slapdown effect"...also called a "trampoline effect". nzhistory.govt.nz/culture/february-2011-christchurch-earthquake
Looks like walking tracks to me , and the shells tell me the cuzzies had a feed man . The scientists need to speak to the bro's instead of telling there bullshit aye
You could make a kind of quake table for the hillside. Using the imagery you have taken, a 3d print using relatively small particles of either ceramic mud or 'spice-mix' greensand could be made to demonstrate where failures were likely to happen. May I direct your attention to The GeoModels RU-vid channel? The Appalachians aren't moving quite as fast, but the New Madrid will burp sooner or later. Timely information can lend a lot of leverage.
@@Kiwigeo8339 Don´t forget Jesus could not only walk on water but one time he managed to walk over a whole lot of avocados without squashing a single one of them.
It's a real shame that the team can't reinstate the seismic monitors and cameras on the island. After everything that's happened I consider myself really lucky to have been there twice during my time with GNS.
8.9 mag. this figure scares the hiiby jeebies outa me and i live on the other side of earth. 25% in 50 years is just fucking insane at this point just abbandon the island
Thanks, but we've all seen how science models work with covid. Absolute rubbish designed to instill fear. Unfortunately scientists are nothing more than lobbyists and tend to manipulate the facts to suit the narrative of the people with the cheque books. Shills. So sad....
It’s hard to imagine how Auckland would be affected much as the Tsunami would have to wrap right around the Coromandel peninsula and head back in the direction it came from.
Looking forward to some detailed follow up videos from this expedition! I have a feeling there will be some pretty fascinating discoveries. Nice work GNS!
I'm glad the Government is putting money into Earthquakes past and what can happen today, because we just need to look at Bali and Japan and what happened to those Countries.😢
Wow!!! Just looking at the machine needed for this process makes my head hurt with the intelligence behind the engineering of it. Chemistry I don't even try to understand anymore 😅
