  • New Zealand Active Faults Database: high-resolution (NZAFD-HighRes)

    GNS Science
    This dataset represents the most current mapping of active faults for New Zealand in a single database at a range of scales between 1:500 to 1:250,000 (multi-scale mapping). It is produced by GNS Science with data derived from site-specific to regional scale active fault studies. Active faults are defined as those that have ruptured and/or caused ground...

  • New Zealand Active Faults Database 1:250,000 scale

    GNS Science
    This dataset contains onshore active faults data for New Zealand. Active faults in New Zealand are defined as those that have ruptured and/or caused ground deformation during the last 125,000 years (except for in the Taupo Volcanic Zone, where the definition of activity is restricted to only include the last 25,000 years). The dataset is produced by GNS...

  • 2016 Kaikōura surface ruptures 1:250,000 scale

    GNS Science
    This dataset contains 2016 Kaikōura surface ruptures mapped at a scale of 1:250,000. The dataset is simplified to this scale from the high resolution New Zealand Active Faults Database (NZAFD). Please note this dataset is a subset taken from NZAFD 1:250,000 scale (the primary source) on the 28 July 2020. The primary source of the dataset is an ESRI vector...

  • National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) for New Zealand

    GNS Science
    The National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) for New Zealand provides probabilistic estimates of the strength of earthquake shaking that can be expected according to a user-defined time period and probability, e.g. the peak ground acceleration (PGA) that has a 10% chance of happening in any 50 year time window. Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA)...
