QuakeCoRE Seminar: Outcomes from the Earthquake-induced Landscapes Dynamics Programme (2025)

QuakeCoRE Seminar Series: Key Breakthroughs, Methodological Advances & Underexplored Processes & Datasets: Outcomes from the Earthquake-induced Landscapes Dynamics, Endeavour Programme (2018 to 2023) Presenter: Chris Massey (GNS Science) This Seminar was held on 21 March 2025. Abstract: Large earthquakes, like the November 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikōura Earthquake, can generate thousands of landslides, landslide dams and damage hillslopes that are susceptible to failure during rainstorms and aftershocks. This debris, when mobilised, creates new hazards, including further landslides, landslide dams, rapid aggradation and formation of alluvial fans and floodplains, and increased river channel instability, as the debris cascades from hillslope to sea. These hazards may persist for decades and therefore represent a prolonged risk that must be managed by the impacted communities and stakeholders. Here, we summarise the outcomes from a five-year research programme (2018-2023) that focused on developing a framework and set of tools that will better inform landslide risk avoidance and residual risk-management methods and practices for people and stakeholders affected by the Kaikōura Earthquake and by future earthquakes in New Zealand and overseas, see: https://slidenz.net. Bio: Chris Massey is an engineering geologist with more than 26 years of consultancy and research experience in the investigation and analysis of complex geological and geotechnical data for landslide and slope stability including landslide monitoring, foundation design, underground/surface rock support and groundwater problems. He has applied these skills to geohazard and risk assessments, oil and gas pipelines, highway, railway, mining engineering and town planning projects in Africa, the Himalayas, Europe, Southeast and Central Asia and Australasia. Chris has a degree in geology from Leeds University, UK; a masters in Engineering Geology from Imperial College, London, UK; and a PhD in engineering geology from Durham, UK. _____________________ Want to join the next Seminar live?
