We have collectively held successful meetings every year since 2014, and this year we will return to Aotearoa, New Zealand. We will again share ideas and developments from our three countries, and foster the continued growth of our various collaborations. The following are suggested themes to address at this years\u2019 meeting:<\/p>\n We encourage input regarding the above themes and others.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The meeting will be held on 14-16 November in Oamaru. Transportation will be provided by bus from the University of Canterbury, Christchurch (details to follow<\/em>) to Oamaru on 13 November. During the meeting we expect to alternate between oral presentations and breakout discussion sessions.<\/strong><\/p>\n For the workshop programme we encourage abstracts addressing the above topics (and more) from you. Abstracts should be no longer than one page (max 300 words).<\/strong> Key deadlines are as follows:<\/p>\n Registration, hotel reservations, and abstract submission can be made through this website – just follow the links above. There is no workshop registration fee as the University of Otago and EQC will cover the cost of the venue as well as lunch and dinner throughout the workshop. Participants will be expected to pay for accommodation (in Oamaru and on the field trips) as well as field trip transportation and meal costs. Information regarding details and arrangements for the Kaik\u014dura pre-workshop field trip and the central Otago post-workshop field trip are available at the links below.<\/p>\n Participants should plan to arrive in Christchurch by 10 November if they wish to attend the pre-workshop Kaik\u014dura field trip, and leave from Queenstown on 18 November (late in the day) or later if you wish to attend the post-workshop central Otago field trip.<\/em><\/p>\n Transportation will be provided by bus from the University of Canterbury, Christchurch to Oamaru on 13 November.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The workshop will be followed by a two-day field trip to the central Otago reverse fault province led by Professor Mark Stirling. Here we will focus on observations pertaining to strong non-poissonian behaviour of some of the active faults, and will visit the site of the first-ever use of ancient fragile geologic features to evaluate a seismic hazard model for a major engineered facility (the Clyde Dam). We will also offer a pre-conference field trip to the ruptures produced by the Mw\u00a0<\/sub>7.8 2016 Kaik\u014dura earthquake on 12-14 November, which will be led by Professor Andy Nicol of University of Canterbury.<\/p>\n Field trip weather is likely to be pleasantly warm by that time (18-25\u00baC), but we always plan for the possibility of \u201cfour seasons in one day\u201d when doing fieldwork in New Zealand!<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We will hold the meeting in the historical township of Oamaru, in the Otago province of New Zealand. Much of the region\u2019s early history surrounds the discovery of gold in 1861, and the associated gold rush. Today Oamaru caters for the \u201cnew gold rush\u201d of tourism. The town is an active fishing port, has a colony of rare endemic Little Blue Penguins, has a Victorian precinct in which buildings are constructed from \u201cOamaru stone\u201d limestone, and is the home of the infamous Steam Punk museum.<\/p>\n\n
