The Otago Regional Council (ORC) received the report by GNS Science at a meeting of its Data and Information Committee today. The report identifies 26 active or potentially active faults through the Dunedin and Clutha districts and summarises their rupture ...

The Zealandia Switch: Missing Link in Big Natural Climate Shifts? The Southern Hemisphere may be the missing link in answering longstanding questions about how ice ages wax and wane, according to a new study. There, say researchers, complex interactions among the westerly wind system, the Southern Ocean and the tropical Pacific can trigger rapid global changes in atmospheric temperature. The mechanism, dubbed the Zealandia Switch, relates to the position of the Southern Hemisphere westerly wind...
