dc.title: Earthquake hazard and risk assessment study: options and issues
dc.description: This report assesses issues and options for preparing an earthquake hazard and risk assessment programme for Canterbury. It outlines investigation options and associated costs in order to better understand Canterbury's earthquake hazard and risk. Although earthquake hazard and risk information needs and investigation priorities within Canterbury have changed over the past 15 years, the majority of the report’s recommended components have been undertaken to some degree either by Environment Canterbury or other organisations. See Object Overview for background and usage information.

dc.title: Earthquake hazard and risk assessment study Stage 1 Part A: Earthquake source identification and characterisation
dc.description: This study compiled and tabulated all relevant available information on earthquake sources (active faults) in Canterbury and mapped the fault locations onto 1:50,000 or 1:250,000 overlays on topographic maps (later digitised into the Environment Canterbury active faults database). The study also reviewed information on historic earthquakes, instrumental seismicity and paleoseismic studies and identified information gaps. It recommended an approach for a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and development of earthquake scenarios. See Object Overview for background and usage information.

dc.title: Earthquake hazard and risk assessment study Stage 1 Part B: Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment and earthquake scenarios for the Canterbury region, and historic earthquakes in Christchurch
dc.description: This study led on from Earthquake hazard and risk assessment study Stage 1 Part A: Earthquake source identification and characterisation (Pettinga et al, 1998). It used the location and characteristics of active faults in the Canterbury region, and the historic record of earthquakes to estimate levels of ground shaking (MM intensity, peak ground acceleration and spectral accelerations) across Canterbury for different return periods. The study also provided earthquake scenarios for selected towns and cities in Canterbury, and undertook detailed investigations into the largest historic earthquakes in Christchurch and parts of the Canterbury region. See Object Overview for background and usage information.

dc.title: Liquefaction study Waimakariri District
dc.description: This study analysed liquefaction susceptibility and estimated ground settlements for two earthquake scenarios (foothills and Alpine Fault) for eastern Waimakariri District. See the Object Overview for background and usage information.

dc.title: Liquefaction hazard in Hurunui District
dc.description: This study determined areas of different liquefaction susceptibility in Hurunui District based mainly on geological data, with some limited borehole strata interpretation. Geotechnical data was not analysed. This was the same method used in the earthquake hazard assessments for engineering lifelines in other districts in Canterbury. Hurunui District was the first district that a hazard assessment for engineering lifelines was undertaken for (in 2000) and it did not include a liquefaction susceptibility map like the other district earthquake hazard assessments did. There are no recommendations associated with this report. See Object Overview for background and usage information.

dc.title: Liquefaction study Waimakariri District
dc.description: This study analysed liquefaction susceptibility and estimated ground settlements for two earthquake scenarios (foothills and Alpine Fault) for eastern Waimakariri District. The report was later partially superseded by Earthquake hazard assessment for Waimakariri District (Yetton and McCahon, 2009), which while not using such detailed analytical methods as the 2000 Beca report, reviewed new information available since 2000 (including that collected as part of the Pegasus Town development). This showed that the liquefaction susceptibility in eastern Waimakariri district was in fact much more variable than suggested in the 2000 Beca maps, and that liquefaction susceptibility was extremely difficult to predict without a site-specific investigation. See Object Overview for background and usage information.

dc.title: Hurunui District engineering lifelines project: Natural hazard assessment
dc.description: This report was the first report in the district series, and has a different format to later reports. It includes all natural hazards, not only earthquake hazards. It describes earthquake, flooding, meteorological, landslide and coastal hazards within Hurunui district and gives details of historic events. It includes district-scale (1:250,000) active fault and flood hazard maps. The report describes an earthquake scenario for a magnitude 6.9 earthquake near Cheviot, as well as flooding, meteorological, landslide, coastal erosion, storm surge, and tsunami scenarios.

dc.title: Ashburton District engineering lifelines project: Earthquake hazard assessment
dc.description: This report describes the earthquake hazard in Ashburton district and gives details of historic earthquakes. It includes district-scale (1:250,000) active fault, ground shaking zone, liquefaction and landslide susceptibility maps. The report describes earthquake scenarios for a magnitude 7.0-7.3 earthquake on the Mt Hutt-Mt Peel Fault Zone and a magnitude 8 Alpine Fault earthquake. Further investigations recommended included: 1. Further investigations of potential earthquake sources, including the Mt Hutt-Mt Peel Fault Zone and the Lake Heron Fault. In general, individual fault studies are considered more appropriate to be undertaken as postgraduate research projects, or as projects in conjunction with research institutes, rather than as Environment Canterbury-commissioned projects. This provides much better value for money and opportunities for students. The authors of report noted that some of these investigations are best suited to an MSc thesis project. 2. Further investigations of potential areas of liquefaction. The authors acknowledge that the liquefaction potential in the district is low and further specific investigations are unlikely to be justified. For this reason, further liquefaction studies were not undertaken. 3. Further investigation of landslide dams in the Rangitata Gorge and North Ashburton Gorge. This investigation was not undertaken. Following the Ashburton earthquake hazard assessment report, priority was given to assessing the landslide hazard in the Waimakariri Gorge, which has a higher risk in terms of potential downstream impacts. Subsequent conversations with staff at Ashburton District Council have not considered the landslide dam risk to be as high as other risks in the district, particularly given the rural land use of the Rangitata and Ashburton floodplains, and it has not been given priority.
