Page 1 of 9 Template File Pathway: Y:\CFS\CPHGroups\RMC\SDC\LTP\2018\SelwynLTPSubmissionFinal180503.docx SUBMISSION ON SELWYN DISTRICT COUNCIL DRAFT LONG TERM PLAN Details of submitter 1. Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) 2. The CDHB is responsible for promoting the reduction of adverse environmental effects on the health of people and communities and to improve, promote and protect their health pursuant to the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000 and the Health Act 1956. 3. These statutory obligations are the responsibility of the Ministry of Health and, in the Canterbury District, are carried out under contract by Community and Public Health under Crown funding agreements on behalf of the Canterbury District Health Board. General comments 4. Health and wellbeing (overall quality of life) is influenced by a wide range of factors beyond the health sector. These influences can be described as the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age, and are impacted by environmental, social and behavioural factors. They are often referred to as the ‘social determinants of health1. Barton and Grant’s Health Map2 shows how various influences on health are complex and interlinked.

  • Hydrological Effects of the M W 7.1 Darfield (Canterbury) Earthquake, 4
    New Zealand Journal of Geologyand Geophysics Vol. 55, No. 3, September 2012, 231Á247 1 Hydrological effects of the MW 7.1 Darfield (Canterbury) earthquake, 4 September 2010, New Zealand SC Coxa*, HK Rutterb, A Simsc, M Mangad, JJ Weirb, T Ezzye,PAWhitef, TW Hortong and D Scotte aGNS Science, Dunedin, New Zealand; bAqualinc Research Ltd, Christchurch, New Zealand; cDepartment of Geography, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand; dDepartment of Earth and PlanetaryScience, Universityof California, Berkeley,California, USA; eEnvironment Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand; fGNS Science, Taupo, New Zealand; gGeological Sciences, Universityof Canterbury,Christchurch, New Zealand (Received 7 December 2011; final version received 14 March 2012) The MW7.1 Darfield (Canterbury) earthquake on 4 September 2010 generated widespread hydrological effects ranging from near-instantaneous coseismic liquefaction and changes of groundwater levels in boreholes, to more sustained (days to weeks) post-seismic changes in spring flow, river discharge and groundwater piezometric levels, to longer term shifts in groundwater level one year after the earthquake. Groundwater piezometric responses include local groundwater level increases of 20 m around the Greendale Fault, particularly in deep aquifers (80 m), whereas decreases occurred in coastal confined aquifers beneath Christchurch city. Increases of up to 5 m persisted within 20 km of the fault 12 h after the earthquake. Groundwater levels and springs were affected throughout New Zealand, from 350 km away in Southland to nearly 1000 km away in Northland, even where shaking intensities were less than Modified Mercalli Intensity (MM) 3Á4 (weak to largely observed) and peak ground acceleration was much B0.01 g. Release of artesian groundwater pressure and groundwater flow are postulated to have played pivotal roles in Christchurch liquefaction.

  • 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.
