\"EQSci<\/a><\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

The Otago Earthquake Science Working Group is a collaborative, multidisciplinary group of scientists and practitioners who work in the field of earthquake science in southern New Zealand.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Earthquake scientists are present in the University of Otago\u2019s Departments of Geology, Geography, Mathematics & Statistics, Computer Science, School of Surveying, and Centre for Sustainability. Earthquake scientists are also present at GNS Science and Otago Regional Council, and several freelance researchers live in Dunedin.<\/span><\/p>\n

The group has been created following the appointment of the inaugural Chair of Earthquake Science at the Department of Geology (Professor Mark Stirling<\/a>), and subsequent recognition of the critical mass of earthquake science researchers in the region.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Goals of the group<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

\u2022 Advance the understanding of earthquake science and associated hazards and risks in southern New Zealand<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u2022 Provide a forum for researchers to achieve synergy and collaboration. Our researchers cover expertise in seismology, seismotectonics, earthquake geology, structural geology, earthquake statistics, geodesy, seismic hazard modelling, hazard social science, emergency management, and policy driven hazard analysis<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u2022 Exploit funding opportunities for earthquake science research (National Hazard Research Platform, EQC, QuakeCoRE, etc)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Provide collaborative education opportunities for undergraduate and postgraduate
\nstudents<\/p>\n

\u2022 Provide earthquake science education and outreach in southern New Zealand<\/p>\n
