  • The Public Realm of Central Christchurch Narrative
    THE PUBLIC REALM OF CENTRAL CHRISTCHURCH NARRATIVE Written by Debbie Tikao, Landscape Architect and General Manager of the Matapopore Charitable Trust. Kia atawhai ki te iwi – Care for the people Pita Te Hori, Upoko – Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga, 1861 The Public Realm of Central Christchurch Narrative 1 2 CERA Grand Narratives INTRODUCTION This historical narrative weaves together Ngāi Tahu cultural values, stories and traditional knowledge associated with Ōtautahi (Christchurch) and the highly mobile existence of hapū and whānau groups within the Canterbury area and the wider landscape of Te Waipounamu (South Island). The focus of this historical narrative therefore is on this mobile way of life and the depth of knowledge of the natural environment and natural phenomena that was needed to navigate the length and breadth of the diverse and extreme landscape of Te Waipounamu. The story that will unfold is not one of specific sites or specific areas, but rather a story of passage and the detailed cognitive maps that evolved over time through successive generations, which wove together spiritual, genealogical, historical and physical information that bound people to place and provided knowledge of landscape features, mahinga kai and resting places along the multitude of trails that established the basis for an economy based on trade and kinship. This knowledge system has been referred to in other places as an oral map or a memory map, which are both good descriptions; however, here it is referred to as a cognitive map in an attempt to capture the multiple layers of ordered and integrated information it contains. This historical narrative has been written to guide the design of the public realm of the Christchurch central business area, including the public spaces within the East and South frames.

  • Comparison of Liquefaction-Induced Land Damage and Geomorphic Variability in Avonside, New Zealand
    6th International Conference on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering 1-4 November 2015 Christchurch, New Zealand Comparison of Liquefaction-induced Land Damage and Geomorphic Variability in Avonside, New Zealand S.H. Bastin1, M.C. Quigley2, K. Bassett3 Abstract Field mapping, LiDAR, and aerial photography are used to map surface liquefaction-induced lateral spreading fissures and aligned sand blow vents formed during the 22 February 2011 Mw 6.2 Christchurch earthquake. Classification of the study area into 164 polygons enables comparison of liquefaction severity metrics including linear liquefaction feature density, ejecta surface area, and horizontal and vertical ground surface displacements with geomorphic metrics including distance from the downslope free-face, surface elevation, sediment type, and the liquefaction potential index (LPI). Preliminary analyses indicate (i) mean fissure density decreases with increasing distance from the free face at distances of 0-50 m, no relationship is observed at distances >50 m, (ii) mean horizontal ground displacement increases with increasing LPI, and (iii) vertical subsidence is invariant with elevation, implying that other factors (e.g. LPI) may contribute to a complex liquefaction strain field. The basic geology and geomorphology are derived from LiDAR and modern river morphology. Comparison of the liquefaction data with geomorphic mapping indicates geomorphic mapping may be applied to determine the likely distribution of sediments susceptible to liquefaction. Introduction Cyclic shearing of loosely consolidated, fluid saturated sediments during earthquake-induced ground motion results in excess pore-water pressures and reduced shear strength in the affected media. Liquefaction occurs as the grain arrangement collapses causing pore water pressures to exceed the confining pressure (Seed & Idriss, 1982; Idriss & Boulanger, 2008).

Bradley2, Xavier Bellagamba2, Kevin Foster2, Carlo Lai8, Dan Ashfield7, Abdul Baki2, Adda Zekkos9, Robin Lee2 and Nikolaos Ntritsos2 (Submitted March 2017; Reviewed April 2017; Accepted May 2017) ABSTRACT The magnitude Mw7.8 ‘Kaikōura’ earthquake occurred shortly after midnight on 14 November 2016. This paper presents an overview of the geotechnical impacts on the South Island of New Zealand recorded during the post- event reconnaissance. Despite the large moment magnitude of this earthquake, relatively little liquefaction was observed across the South Island, with the only severe manifestation occurring in the young, loose alluvial deposits in the floodplains of the Wairau and Opaoa Rivers near Blenheim. The spatial extent and volume of liquefaction ejecta across South Island is significantly less than that observed in Christchurch during the 2010-2011 Canterbury Earthquake Sequence, and the impact of its occurrence to the built environment was largely negligible on account of the severe manifestations occurring away from the areas of major development. Large localised lateral displacements occurred in Kaikōura around Lyell Creek. The soft fine-grained material in the upper portions of the soil profile and the free face at the creek channel were responsible for the accumulation of displacement during the ground shaking.

  • Presentation of September 4, 2010 Canterbury Earthquake
    Presentation of September 4, 2010 Canterbury Earthquake William Godwin, PG, CEG AEG Vice President, 2019-20 Webinar – May 6, 2020 Introduction ► This presentation is on the 2010 Mw 7.1 Canterbury Earthquake. The earthquake occurred as I was traveling from San Francisco to Auckland, New Zealand to attend the IAEG Congress. Upon arrival I was asked to join the Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance (GEER) team to document damage from the event in the Christchurch area of the South Island. Little did I know that another smaller (Mw 6.2), yet deadlier earthquake would strike 5 months later in close to the same area. Introduction ► The purpose of the GEER is to observe and record earthquake induced phenomena and impacts to infrastructure before evidence is removed or altered as part of cleanup efforts. ► The reconnaissance was conducted by a joint USA-NZ-Japan team with the main funding for the USA contingent coming from GEER and partial support from PEER and EERI. ► This presentation includes my photographs from Sept. 8-10 supplemented with a few photos and observations noted in the GEER report, Nov. 2010. I also describe other seismic events from 2011-16. Sept 4th Darfield Earthquake ► At 4:35 am on September 4th NZ Standard Time (16:35 Sept 3rd UTC) the rupture of a previously unrecognized strike-slip fault (Greendale Fault) beneath the Canterbury Plains of New Zealand’s South Island produced a Mw 7.1 earthquake that caused widespread damage throughout the region. Surprisingly only two people were seriously injured, with approximately 100 total injuries. This compares with 185 deaths in the 2011 event Canterbury Earthquake Sequence Greendale Fault Rupture Characteristics Epicenter (focal) depth: 10.8km Tectonic Setting Ground Motion (pga) Geographical Setting Preliminary Observations ► Rock Avalanche, Castle Rock Reserve, Littleton, Christchurch ► Fault Offset, Telegraph Rd at Grange Rd.

  • Sustainable Ōtautahi Christchurch Chairperson's Annual Report
    Sustainable Ōtautahi Christchurch Chairperson’s Annual Report 2019-2020 Any organisation is only as good as the people involved. SŌC is so fortunate to have a great team of people at its core who hold our kaupapa very much to heart and are prepared to work hard to achieve what we often and not entirely flippantly express as “trying to save the world in 9 years”. [Counting down!] My thanks as Chairperson to all of them on behalf of all our members, supporters and friends. We have a diverse group and this is reflected in the diversity of work we do. Speaking for the Planet This speech and art competition was very successful in June 2019 when it was held at Tūranga library. This year while we were all set to run it in a similar way the 2020 event was, due to Covid 19 and the resulting Lockdown, an entirely on-line affair, which culminated for us in a prize giving held on Facebook Live on World Environment Day June 5th. The theme for this year’s competition was Biodiversity: On Earth Every thing is Connected. We will be holding an exhibition of the art works entered at Envirohub plus showcasing the winning speeches at an event later in the year. Our thanks to all the young people who entered and con- gratulations to everyone for doing so in such extraordinary circumstances. Particular congratulations to all the winners of the different categories. Results can be seen here. Our thanks also to Jocelyn Papprill, Anthea Madill and Dave Evans who all worked hard to make this year’s competition such a success.

  • Regions of Liquefaction Damage in Kaiapoi Following the Canterbury Earthquakes and Their Correlation with Former River Channels
    Regions Of Liquefaction Damage In Kaiapoi Following The Canterbury Earthquakes And Their Correlation With Former River Channels L.M. Wotherspoon, M.J. Pender & R.P. Orense The University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand SUMMARY: The town of Kaiapoi, 17 km north of the city of Christchurch in the Canterbury region of New Zealand, suffered significant damage as a result of liquefaction and lateral spreading during the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence. Severe lateral spreading and large volumes of ejecta were present throughout the town and surrounding region. Shifts in the path of the rivers in the region have been extensive since the beginnings of European settlement in the 1850s, and as a result there are multiple areas within the town and surrounding area that were, until recently, channels of the river. Using historical data, areas that had been reclaimed were identified, and when compared with the areas of severe liquefaction damage following these earthquakes, the strong correlation between the two was revealed. The significant damage to buildings, infrastructure and services in these regions highlights the importance of having a clear understanding of historical river modifications in seismically active regions. Keywords: Liquefaction, lateral spreading, Canterbury earthquakes, river modification 1. INTRODUCTION Kaiapoi is a small town approximately 17 km north of the city of Christchurch in the Canterbury region of New Zealand (See Figure 1 and 3a). On 4 September 2010, the Mw7.1 Darfield earthquake occurred 42 km to the south west of Kaiapoi. This earthquake resulted in severe liquefaction-induced damage in both Christchurch and Kaiapoi, with Kaiapoi experiencing some of the most severe damage from the resulting lateral spreading, settlement and ejected material.
