A database of historical (preinstrumental) and modern (instrumentally recorded) tsunamis that have impacted or been observed in New Zealand has been compiled and published online. New Zealand’s tectonic setting, astride an obliquely convergent tect

Tsunami earthquakes generate much larger tsunami than their surface wave magnitude would suggest and are a problem for tsunami warning systems. They are often not accompanied by intense or even strong ground shaking and hence do not provide a natural

The 5 June 1869 (NZMT), 4 June 1869 (UT) Christchurch earthquake has long been known to have caused chimney and structural damage, to Modified Mercalli intensity MM7, in central Christchurch. On 31 August 1870, another strong earthquake shook the cit

New Zealand felt earthquake reports have been collected since the late 19th century. In March 2004, the GeoNet Project, operated by GNS Science, implemented an Internet-based questionnaire. The aim was to provide an objective and automatic assignment

The geological effects of the 1855 Wairarapa New Zealand earthquake with an estimated magnitude of M w 8.2–8.4 provided Charles Lyell with direct evidence of the relationship between earthquakes, fault rupturing, regional uplift and subsidence. The

The magnitude 9.5 earthquake on 22 May 1960 in southern Chile was the largest instrumentally recorded earthquake in the 20th century. It generated a tsunami that swept the shores of Chile and radiated out across the Pacific, with the major loss of li

We develop a probabilistic model for estimating the tsunami hazard along the coast of New Zealand due to plate-interface earthquakes along the South American subduction zone. To do this we develop statistical and physical models for several stages in

In 1942, two large earthquakes, on June 24 (Mw 7.2) and August 1 (UT) (Mw 6.8), strongly shook the lower North Island, causing widespread moderate to severe damage. A third earthquake (Ms 6.0) occurred in the same area on December 2. These earthquake

Descriptive accounts and analysis of local seismograms establish that the epicentre of the 1934 March 5 Ms7.6 earthquake, known as the Pahiatua earthquake, was nearer to Pongaroa than to Pahiatua. Conspicuous and severe damage (MM8) in the business c

Evidence from newspaper reports, diaries and journals, related first‐hand information, an 1854 survey map of the lower part of the Awatere Valley, and reports by geologists between 1856 and 1890, indicates that surface rupturing occurred on the Awa
