  • 3 a CONSERVATION BLUEPRINT for CHRISTCHURCH Colin D
    3 A CONSERVATION BLUEPRINT FOR CHRISTCHURCH Colin D. Meurk1 and David A. Norton2 Introduction To be 'living in changing times* is nothing new. But each new technological revolution brings an increasingly frantic pace of change. There has been a growing separation of decision-makers from the environmental consequences of their actions; there is a general alienation of people from the land, and there has been a corresponding quantum leap in environmental and social impacts. The sad and simple truth is that the huge advances in power and sophistication of our technology have not been matched by an equivalent advance in understanding and wise use of its immense power. From a natural history perspective the colonies of the European empires suffered their most dramatic changes compressed into just a few short centuries. In New Zealand over the past millenium, the Polynesians certainly left their mark on the avifauna in addition to burning the drier forests and shrublands. But this hardly compares with the biological convuolsions of the last century or so as European technology transformed just about all arable, grazable, burnable and millable land into exotic or degraded communities, regardless of their suitability for the new uses. Even today, 2 000 ha of scrub is burnt annually in North Canterbury alone. It is equally tragic, since the lessons from past mistakes are all too obvious, that there has persisted an ongoing, but barely discernible, attrition of those natural areas that survived the initial onslaught. Inevitably the greatest pressures have occurred in and around the major urban centres. The European settlers were primarily concerned with survival, development, and attempts to tame the unfamiliar countryside.

  • 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.

It is unique in being a previous channel of the Waimakariri River (the North Branch), receiving drainage from several major plains tributaries, and being strongly tidal over several kilometres of its length. It is a highly valued river, a culturally important waterway, a designated port and navigational waterway, and an important recreational and fishery resource. However, in recent years there have been complaints of degradation of its water quality and ecology.

The current situation Waimakariri District Council is a medium-sized, high-growth council emerging from the rebuild that has followed the Canterbury earthquakes. In addition, approximately 10,000 people have moved into the district since the earthquakes, with a further 8,000 forecast to move there over the next seven years. As a result, some substantial issues have emerged. Competition over resources and priorities for development has built up between Rangiora, Kaiapoi and Woodend. Period of assessment The assessment was conducted on 13 and 14 March 2017. Notwithstanding the significant capital investment which has occurred post-earthquakes, particularly in infrastructure, there continues to be strong demand for further investment in local facilities. Transport solutions are needed to ensure the district remains a viable commuter suburb, with 42 per cent of the workforce now commuting to Christchurch. 2 CouncilMARK™ $1,100m GROSS DOMESTIC 1 PRODUCT SERVES RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKES UP 1,546km 57,800 % ROADS4 2 0.841 PEOPLE , A MIX OF 3 91% EUROPEAN/PAKEHA OF NEW ZEALAND’S TOTAL LAND AREA 7% MĀORI REPRESENTING WAIMAKARIRI 2% ASIAN DISTRICT, FROM PEGASUS BAY THROUGH TO PUKETERAKI RANGE, AN AREA OF: 2 2,255 km POPULATION TREND HIGH GROWTH Key learnings The Council needs to be responsive to the pace and timing of change expected by its community relative to its own plans.

Modelling has indicated the current capacity of the Ashley River stopbanked system is approximately equivalent to the 2% AEP (50 year return period) flood event. Breakouts however, could occur in more frequent events. Stopbank breaches and outflows onto the floodplain could potentially occur anywhere along the stopbanks. Breakout scenarios onto the floodplain have been modelled for the 1%, 0.5% and 0.2% AEP (i.e. 100, 200 and 500 year return period) events at the most likely breakout locations. The modelling indicates significant flooding to large areas of land between the Ashley and Waimakariri Rivers. Kaiapoi and adjacent areas are predicted to be flooded to depths over 1 metres in the 0.2% AEP (500 year return period) event. The impact of future urbanisation in Kaiapoi has also been modelled. It is hoped the floodplain maps and associated depths will assist land use planning within the area and provide information on minimum floor levels for new dwellings located on the floodplain, where appropriate.

  • 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.
