    Environment Canterbury
    Earthquake Fault Trace (Data released Aug. 2020)Source: https://data.gns.cri.nz/af/The New Zealand Active Faults Database (NZAFD) is a national database of locations and attributes of onshore active faults (e.g., names, locations, ages and amounts of displacement). Most have deformed the ground surface of New Zealand within the last 125,000 years. In the...

  • Ashley Fault Zone Fault Complexity 2014

    Environment Canterbury
    There are four maindata fields. 'AREA' gives the extent of each polygon in square metres. 'Feature' identifies the fault deformation hazard/Fault Avoidance Zonation unit type, based largely on the 'TYPE' field in the Ashley Fault Zone ground deformation dataset. 'FAZ_class' identifies the category of fault complexity, as set out in Table 2 of...

  • Ashley Fault Zone Ground Deformation 2014

    Environment Canterbury
    There are five main data fields. 'AREA' gives the extent of each polygon in square metres. 'ACCURACY' identifies the basis on which the polygon was mapped, such as 'lidar', and whether interpretation was aided by examination in the 'field', or using 'satellite imagery'or Google Earth Street View (SV).'TYPE' defines the polygon according to the ground...

  • Ashley Fault Zone Landform Feature Lines 2014

    Environment Canterbury
    There are two main data fields. 'ACCURACY' identifies the basis on which the line was mapped; 'schematic' (where the landform feature is sharply defined in a topographic sense, and thus the line denotes the general presence of a feature, not an exact location) and 'approx-lidar' (the feature is identifiable topographically in lidar data, but it is not...

    Environment Canterbury
    Fault complexity/avoidance zones for the Greendale Fault, based on the Greendale Fault traces dataset mapped after the Greendale Fault rupture in the September 2010 Darfield (Canterbury) earthquake. Areas are mapped as either well-defined, distributed or uncertain deformation, as outlined in the accompanying report. At the time of the report the best...

    Environment Canterbury
    Extent of the Ashley Fault Avoidance Zones. Areas of well-defined and distributed deformation have a 20 m buffer applied as per the Ministry for the Environment guidelines. Areas of uncertain and extended deformation were considered by the report authors to not have been mapped precisely enough to warrant assigning a 20 metre buffer. The joins between the...

  • Canterbury Fault Awareness Areas 2019

    Environment Canterbury
    The fault awareness areas show areas where there may be a surface fault rupture hazard. Surface fault rupture is the permanent breaking, ripping, buckling or warping of the ground on or near the line where a fault meets the ground surface, as a result of movement on the fault. It is different from earthquake shaking. This dataset has been compiled from...
