Channel Title: GNS Science Channel Description: GNS Science is New Zealand's geoscience research CRI, exploring and monitoring our resources, geological hazards and environment. We do intrepid science in the land and ocean crust of New Zealand! <video> Landslide Planning Guidance webinar Description: The new Landslide Planning Guidance released by GNS Science in January updates previous guidance published more than 15 years ago and emphasises the need to consider climate-change scenarios that are likely to exacerbate landslide hazards due to changing weather patterns. GNS co-authors Saskia de Vilder (Engineering Geologist) and Scott Kelly (Senior Natural Hazards Planner) walk through the guidance in this 40-minute webinar aimed at planners and geotechs.

More information on recent activity can be found here: https://www.geonet.org.nz/news/4VyQen6qWNu2ZQ6TGHgxzq </video> <video> How do faults cause earthquakes? Description: Here in Aotearoa New Zealand, we have faults everywhere, but what exactly are they? And why do they mean we have earthquakes?

A team of scientists from GNS Science, Victoria University of Wellington and Scripps Institute of Oceanography (USA) deployed electromagnetic receivers on the sea floor to locate magma and took seabed sediment samples to learn about the volcanoes’ eruption histories. 🌋 This data will help our scientists study the multiple natural hazards posed by these nearshore volcanoes, including their potential to generate tsunami, ashfall and pyroclastic flows of hot ash and gas.

In the North Island, the Pacific Plate is being pushed under the Australian Plate in a process called subduction. </video> <video> An introduction to the GNS Landslides Planning Guidance Description: Watch a short introduction on the GNS Landslides Planning Guidance - why it is needed, how it was developed and how it helps planners to consider the risks of landslides early in the planning process. </video> <video> GNS lead international voyage to study cause of Hunga volcano 2022 eruption Description: The GNS-led voyage to the Hunga volcano has launched onboard the R/V Tangaroa. A crew of international scientists will undertake the most comprehensive post-2022 eruption surveys of the submarine volcano to date to better understand what caused the powerful eruption and what this can tell us about Aotearoa New Zealand's own submarine volcanoes. Research Geologist and voyage leader Cornel de Ronde explains the purpose of the voyage, what he believes caused the eruption, and the surveys that will be performed.

Read more on how we remotely monitor our volcanoes here: https://www.geonet.org.nz/news/4BdcxncLQYsx0yVWhWu0ab Before each observation flight we undertake robust safety planning and risk assessment. Our proximity to a volcanic plume is assessed and we adhere to the applicable exclusion zones to maintain a safe distance, all passengers on-board are belted in and secure. </video> <video> 3rd Beneath the Waves expedition sets sail to explore understudied hazards of nearshore volcanoes Description: The RV Tangaroa has set sail with a team of scientists from GNS Science, Victoria University of Wellington and Scripps Institute of Oceanography (USA) to study the multiple hazards posed by Tūhua/Mayor and Whakaari/White islands, including their potential to generate tsunami, ashfall and pyroclastic flows of hot ash and gas. GNS Science Senior Volcano Geophysicist Craig Miller explains what equipment the crew will deploy to image the magma under these nearshore volcanoes and build a picture of past eruptions going back thousands of years.
