Its worse than we thought...The hazard of a fault rupture (earthquake!) on the Alpine Fault in New Zealand has been upgraded following in depth research along several lakes in the West Coast of the South Island. The probability of a magnitude 8 earthquake in the next 50 years is now much higher than previously thought. In this video I interview Jamie Howarth who has led this research.
A little gift encourages me to make more of these videos for you. Buy me a coffee? https://www.buymeacoffee.com/OutThereLearner
Thanks for your awesomeness!
