Building a Framework for Earthquake Catalogues in Aotearoa New Zealand

Leaders: Kenny Graham, Jonathan Hanson (GNS Science) and Calum Chamberlain (VUW). 
Date: Monday 25th November
Time: 12pm - 3pm
Cost: Free for conference attendees
Location: University of Otago

Join us at the "Next Steps in Building a Framework for Earthquake Catalogues in Aotearoa New Zealand" workshop to assist with our earthquake cataloguing efforts. We will summarise progress since the working group’s initial meeting, and efforts to improve FAIRness (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability) of earthquake catalogue data. The workshop will discuss standardised processes, methodologies and metadata for earthquake cataloguing, canvas opportunities for applying new or advanced methodologies, and foster collaborative development of a robust, adaptable framework for effective earthquake catalogue management in NZ. 

Don't miss this chance to help shape the future of NZ earthquake research and safety.

Additional Information:

  • Minimum numbers required to run the workshop is 15, maximum number is 45.

New Zealand Community Velocity Model

Leaders: Sanjay Bora, Donna Eberhart-Phillips, Russ Van Dissen (GNS Science) and Brendon Bradley (University of Canterbury)
Date: Monday 25th November
Time: 1:30 - 4:30pm
Cost:  Free for conference attendees
Location: University of Otago

Join us at the “Community Velocity Model (CVM)” workshop to learn more about a community-driven effort to develop a nationwide velocity model for New Zealand (NZ). A CVM is a 3D representation of multiple seismic velocities in a broad region of interest along with considerations of anelastic attenuations (Qp and Qs).  A CVM has many applications in the broader domain of earthquake research. We will review and explain progress so far and seek engagement from the wider NZ geoscience community.

Don’t miss the chance to participate in the collective effort to develop a community velocity model for NZ.

Additional Information: 

  • Please ensure to bring your laptop/ notebooks/ pens
  • Minimum numbers required to run the workshop is 20, maximum number is 50.

For any queries relating to this workshop please contact: Sanjay Bora, Donna Eberhart-Phillips, Russ Van Dissen, Brendon Bradley
