Map and search of GeoNet sensor networks that deliver high-rate-data. Use the date search filter to see sensors that were operating in the past. More detailed station/sensor information can be ...
New Zealand’s tectonic setting in the Pacific puts us at risk from many different tsunami sources, some may be generated and arrive at our nearest coasts in less than an hour. To help our experts, we ...
The Aotearoa New Zealand Tsunami Gauge network, also known as the Coastal Sea Level gauge network, supports detection and analysis of potential tsunami threats arriving at New Zealand's coasts. It is ...
GeoNet collects environmental data to monitor geological hazards in Aotearoa New Zealand. The term “environmental data” has a broad definition that encompasses measuring the environment and its ...
GeoNet has a wide range of data that are collected for monitoring and researching geohazards in New Zealand. We have built several tutorials to help access this data through data services. The main ...
The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Open Data Program is run by AWS and focuses on publicly available high-value cloud-optimized datasets. Alongside traditional data distribution channels, GeoNet now also ...
What is an earthquake swarm? Unlike the familiar mainshock-aftershock earthquake sequences, where numerous smaller earthquakes tend to follow a larger earthquake, earthquake swarm sequences do not ...
The Aviation Colour Code (ACC) system is based on four colours and is only intended for use by the civil aviation community. The Aviation Colour Codes provide the aviation community with information ...
The timestamp shown at the top right of the seismograph drum shown above is the time when this image was last refreshed. The previous four hours (240 minutes) of seismic signals (also known as traces) ...
Structural arrays consist of multiple sensors within a building or structure. They provide data to help engineers understand how the structure responds to shaking or vibration. The GeoNet building ...
The 27 August 1883 explosion of Krakatau Volcano in Indonesia is one example of an eruption-caused tsunami. The eruption generated a 30m tsunami in the Sunda Strait which killed about 36,000 people, ...
We have compiled rupture models for selected large-magnitude earthquakes in and around New Zealand. These models are provided in standard file-formats. They were derived by researchers using either ...
