Philip Barnes: Breakthrough science in slow-slips
The uniquely shallow subduction zone along New Zealand's east coast has attracted about 80 scientists to take on what one says is the world's first targeted data collection for slow-slip events. Audio
Giant underwater landslide in the Kaikōura Canyon
The magnitude 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake triggered a massive underwater landslide that swept down the offshore canyon system and was still flowing more than 300 km away. Audio

AudioThe risks from newly discovered Wellington quake fault
Scientists have discovered an active fault line in Wellington harbour capable of generating a magnitude 7 point 1 earthquake but don't yet know how far it runs through the city. Audio
New earthquake research show big West Coast fault lines are active
New research into ten big fault lines just off the West Coast of the South Island could cause earthquakes up to 7.8 magnitude as well as tsunamis that would reach land within minutes. Audio
