GeoNet also forecasts earthquake aftershocks for major earthquakes, such as the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake. [3] The GeoNet app sends notifications about natural hazards to its users. An example of this is the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake, where the app had sent a total of over 109 million notifications within two days. [ 4 ]
The largest earthquake in New Zealand was an M8.2 event in the Wairarapa, in 1855, [35] and the most deaths (261) occurred in a M7.8 earthquake in Hawkes Bay in 1931. Widespread property damage was caused by the 2010 Canterbury earthquake , which measured 7.1; The M6.3 aftershock of 22 February 2011 ( 2011 Canterbury earthquake ) resulted in ...
In the period 1971–75, Ivory Glacier receded 30 m (98 ft) from the glacial terminus, and about 26% of the surface area of the glacier was lost over the same period. Since 1980 numerous small glacial lakes were created behind the new terminal moraines of several of these glaciers. Glaciers such as Classen, Godley and Douglas now all have new ...
The Helheim Glacier in Greenland is being monitored to study glacial earthquakes. A study done in the early 2000s suggests the number of glacial earthquakes are rising. Using data from January 1993 to October 2005, it was found that more earthquakes were identified each year since 2002 and in 2005, twice as many earthquakes were detected than ...

A magnitude 6.1 earthquake has struck New Zealand, just one day after a devastating cyclone forced a state of emergency across much of the country.. The quake occurred under the Cook Strait ...
Although no historic earthquake has been recorded for this fault, the potential impact of rupture along the Wellington-Hutt Valley section on the Wellington area makes it one of the greatest natural hazards in New Zealand. The Wellington Fault is also capable of producing earthquakes of up to magnitude-8. [1]
