Earthquake Evidence from Sediment Cores

Charlotte Pizer drills sediment cores on the East Coast of New Zealand in order to find evidence of past earthquakes that have pushed the land either up or down. This is helping to build our understanding of how the Hikurangi plate boundary produces earthquakes on different faults including the subduction fault itself that underlies the eastern North Island.

With thanks to the Maungaharuru Tangitū Trust and the Ngāti Pāhauwera Development Trust for supporting this research in the Pakuratahi Valley.

The research is a collaboration between GNS Science and Victoria University of Wellington.
