AF8 Roadshow 2025 - Invercargill

This public science talk was recorded in Invercargill on April 10, as part of the AF8 Roadshow 2025. Presented by Dr. Ursula Cochran (Earthquake Geologist/Freelance Science Communicator). The AF8 Roadshow: The Science Beneath Our Feet shares Alpine Fault science and preparedness information with South Island communities, in areas likely to be affected by an AF8 earthquake. While we can’t predict when earthquakes will occur, scientific research has shown that the Alpine Fault has a history of generating regular, large earthquakes. The next event is likely to occur within the lifetime of most of us, or our children and young people, for whom this is likely to have major short and long-term impacts.
