Darfield quake launches a decade of innovation in science and engineering

The decade since the Darfield earthquake on 4 September, 2010, has seen many major advances in earthquake knowledge as scientists and engineers have responded to the most destructive period of seismic activity for 75 years. 

EQC commissioned a summary of the new knowledge gained which shows we’ve come a long way in understanding the land we live on, and how to reduce the impact of earthquakes:
