Field Testing and Monitoring Equipment
Leader: Liam Wotherspoon
Deputy Leader: Quincy Ma & Geoff Rodgers
Experimental field testing and monitoring equipment at several QuakeCoRE institutions (UC, UA, GNS Science) is currently utilised by researchers for multi-institutional research. This Technology Platform builds on New Zealand leadership in field testing to focus on the further development and applications of these testing technologies and dissemination of their obtained field data to inform QuakeCoRE research.
Key Thrust Areas
1: Training
Training of research personnel on state-of-the-art field-testing techniques and equipment.
2: Standardised Techniques
The development of standardised methodologies, protocols and software to assist in real-time acquisition of field data.
3: Implementation of equipment
Implementation of field monitoring equipment (e.g. in collaboration with GeoNet) for long term monitoring studies with data available to all QuakeCoRE researchers.
4: Advanced techniques
The development of advanced field testing and monitoring techniques that push beyond or function at the high-end of current practice.
