Although far in distance from Christchurch, life at GeoNet also changed on that day, from all the science to be done, to the thousands of aftershocks that needed to be located. This ultimately led to our big change to an automated earthquake location system SeisComP3 and our big website update (you can read more on that here).

You can read more about the earthquakes and the science behind them, on the Canterbury Quakes page including, news stories and the numbers of aftershocks the region has had.
Your reflection on the Christchurch earthquake is both moving and insightful. It’s clear how profoundly that day impacted everyone, from individuals to organizations like GeoNet. The shift to SeisComP3 and the website update demonstrate the resilience and adaptability in the face of disaster. Your dedication to improving earthquake detection and response is commendable and shows a deep commitment to both science and community safety. Thank you for sharing this important update and for continuing to work towards better preparedness and understanding of seismic events.
