  • Recent Studies of Historical Earthquake-Induced Landsliding, Ground Damage, and Mm Intensity
    59 RECENT STUDIES OF HISTORICAL EARTHQUAKE-INDUCED LANDSLIDING, GROUND DAMAGE, AND MM INTENSITY IN NEW ZEALAND G. T. Hancox 1, N. D. Perrin 1 and G.D. Dellow 1 ABSTRACT A study of landsliding caused by 22 historical earthquakes in New Zealand was completed at the end of 1997. The main aims of that study were to: (a) study the nature and extent of landsliding and other ground damage (sand boils, subsidence and lateral spreading due to soil liquefaction) caused by historical earthquakes; (b) determine relationships between landslide distribution and earthquake magnitude, epicentre, isoseismals, faulting, geology and topography; and (c) establish improved environmental response criteria and ground classes for assigning MM intensities and seismic hazard assessments in New Zealand. Relationships developed from the study indicate that the minimum magnitude for earthquake-induced landsliding (EIL) in N.Z. is about M 5, with significant landsliding occurring at M 6 or greater. The minimum MM intensity for landsliding is MM6, while the most common intensities for significant landsliding are MM7-8. The intensity threshold for soil liquefaction in New Zealand was found to be MM7 for sand boils, and MMS for lateral spreading, although such effects may also occur at one intensity level lower in highly susceptible materials. The minimum magnitude for liquefaction phenomena in N.Z. is about M 6, compared to M 5 overseas where highly susceptible soils are probably more widespread. Revised environmental response criteria (landsliding, subsidence, liquefaction-induced sand boils and lateral spreading) have also been established for the New Zealand MM Intensity Scale, and provisional landslide susceptibility Ground Classes developed for assigning MM intensities in areas where there are few buildings.

Streams sampled were from Golden Bay to Tasman Bay, mostly within 20km of the coast, generally small (1st-3rd order), with varying types and degrees of habitat modification. The upper Buller catchment waterways were investigated in the summer 2010.

Credit must go to trip leaders who have arranged a plan B where necessary, good for those still keen to get out tramping. Upcoming trips between January and March consist of eleven day trips and six weekend or long weekend trips. Destinations include the Richmond Range - seven trips, Kahurangi - four trips, Nelson Lakes - three trips, Abel Tasman - one trip, along with two trips in Victoria Forest Park. As a result of increased fuel prices, transport charges on club trips have increased from 11c/km to 12c/km, with unsealed roads double the charge. The last price increase was in 2008.
