Alpine Fault quake risk higher than experts thought

Mon, 19 Apr 2021 17:14:00 +0200Stuff (en)

New research reveals the chances of the South Island’s Alpine Fault generating a damaging earthquake in the next 50 years are much higher than previously thought. New research led by Te Herenga Waka–Victoria University of Wellington senior lecturer Dr Jamie Howarth shows the probability of that earthquake occurring before 2068 is about 75 per cent.

Remote Sensing, Vol. 13, Pages 1573: Probing the Fault Complexity of the 2017 Ms 7.0 Jiuzhaigou Earthquake Based on the InSAR Data

Mon, 19 Apr 2021 03:33:00 +0200mdpi (en)

On 8 August 2017, a surface wave magnitude (Ms) 7.0 earthquake occurred at the buried faults extending to the north of the Huya fault.
