This rapid change in terrain is thought to be the reason Kea are so clever. Apparently, the constantly changing landscape, in evolutionary terms, meant the Kea was constantly having to adjust its way of living and finding food, which made it resourceful and clever...;)
Great video. The trouble with New Zealand's beautiful landscapes is that they were created by dramatic forces of nature. In NZ, I feel like we are ants that Mother Nature steps on and squashes whenever she feels like it.
Great video. I'm a Canterbury geography graduate and while my area was never geology or geomorphology or seismology, living through the Christchurch earthquakes has given me a great appreciation for these sciences.
I swear NZ has the best geoscience on the planet. Even in the quite geologically fascinating and complex Pacific Northwest (decent geologic analogue to NZ in some ways) only a handful of nerds seem to really care, most are oblivious and many features are criminally understudied (Glacier Peak volcano only has a singular seismometer). We didn't even know about the Cascadia megathrust until like 50 years ago.
@@jase4270 We would go that far. But yes your the typical self hating Kiwi…actually surprised you didn’t have an issue with the narrator saying “Aotearoa”
I live in Northern California and am always interested in the geology and seismic movements! We've had a bunch of swarms in the last month that has been concerning! I don't know if it has been a good thing, and is relieving the tectonic plates, or if this is a sign of something bigger coming!
My daughter is seriously considering do the Vic Uni environmental sciences in 2026. She wants to be outdoors and maybe do something useful in the big picture. Hoping this would fit her.
My Grandfather was part of the team that built the wall mentioned at the start. My Father remembers spending time there as a kid while it was being built. We visited the wall on our last trip down south
On a slightly related topic , up North at Coopers beach, famous for it's Miocene plant fossils ,where it once was a swamp forest. But up way above the beach itself along state high way 10 ,there is a site I discovered after a slip ,which is marine/estuary (tiny seashell molds and burrows of shrimp or crap ) lots of sand and fragments of leaves and in the middle of this all is a 3inch thick ancient mud layer with lots of leaves Plus I found to date four Coconuts in the marine sand layers ,so I know it's Miocene .This Marine layers is way way above the beach fossil layers ,so tectonic forces in the past effecting Miocene Northland has left the theses two sites .'Up lift' having the Marine site further inland and 50-60 ft above the Coopers beach level Miocene site today .
Marine layers way above current sea level could be due to higher ocean levels due to warmer climate at that time, rather than earthquake uplift. Could.
You are very correct. But! Very few areas in New Zealand can sustain FTE’s of the magnitude that come out qualified each year in this industry. R&D in New Zealand is a very small area of work, and although some of it can be incredibly important and rewarding, at the end of the day you just can’t survive on it. 20 years in a particular government dept, watching highly qualified people move overseas due to lack of work is quite depressing. FTE, Full Time Employment is very hard to come buy, more so under the current political situation. And just when you think you may have scored yourself a job and settled into a great career, your smartly told by the Banks’ no sorry you can’t have a loan to buy a house as your only on contract work. Yes that lovely R&D position which even though is through the Government (which most are in N.Z) is not deemed full time. Sorry you can’t buy a house. So many highly talented PhD, Masters……etc have left for overseas. Can New Zealand fill all those positions in this field every year on full time positions? No! It’s as simple as that, sad but true. My son was extremely interested in this area of work, but walked away and is going to study medicine simply because the work is just not there.
Are there any cameras providing continuous video of segments of the faultline ? If not it seems like it would be a great project to install some. Imagine capturing video of the actual fault moving in a large earthquake.
Stuff like this only makes me love Seismology more and more. Sucks I can't enroll cause I'm too dumb and too poor, but at least fathoming what gets said in these videos is good.
@paulmarker5689 What? No, the video doesn't make me dumb. I couldn't pay attention in school because of some nasty mental health issues, but Seismology has me hooked. Unfortunately, I missed out on years of key education and development, so I can't enroll in any institution that teaches that subject.
@mrquackadoodlemoo the requirements are different for mature students than those going straight from school to university. Why not have another look, even if it is to do one paper at a time. Studying as an adult is a lot different than as a teenager at school because you have to be there.
Not knowing when an earthquake is going to happen is comforting - ignorance is bliss. Knowing it’s about to happen is downright scary. Glad I live in Auckland….now about that volcano in the harbour.
Great video. So New Zealand is rapidly approaching a mag 8 earthquake and the keyboard warriors reviewing this video are arguing about the Maori name for NZ?
Well, several, just depends on what one considers "rapidly". Similar thing with the volcanoes, there are many that erupt periodically, but which ones are the ones to worry about, as they have different 'averages' on the eruptions, different levels and different uncertainties on how "on time" they will be.
Interesting video . Having said that however, you can study as much as you like and spend as much as you can lay hands on but there is nothing you can do to change what Mother nature has in store, this is the way.
I LOVE this channel! It's so engaging, fascinating, and important! I live in Northern California and am always interested in the geology and seismic movements!

Actually, I really regretted taking the opportunity back in 1982 to leave my jewellery manufacturing trade back in 1982 to work at something else, so I highly recommend that young, (and mature-age), student take advantage of the unique fields of research that New Zealand offers. Although the job I was offered was managing a daffodil farm, it was a wage instead of sub-contracted low paid piece-work in an industry hit by a recession (that's the reason the company's boss sent me to work in his Auckland workshop so as not to lose me), but I could've gone on to study at university to become involved in this exciting field of research. Obtaining a similar tertiary degree in geology or science in this area back in Australia may certainly have led to a reasonably well paid job in mining, but not the sort of exciting research that NZ would've offered! Unfortunately, after several months I came down with an extremely bad bout of influenza that winter, and just couldn't wait to get back home to Sydney where I had my own car to drive around in out the weather!
I'm still glad the thousand acre plateau didn't get damned some of the best geological structures in the country. NNW corner even has a helium vent so prolly lots of uranics there I'd imagine.
We should research ways of constructing infrastructure which must cross the fault, not so that it can't be damaged, but rather so it can more easily be rebuilt to serve for the next few centuries of stability. I'm thinking of the giant U-bends in the steam pipes ay Wairakei which cope with expansion and contraction. Put all utilities into aerial mode for the fault crossing, instead of having to dig them up, etc. Roads could have branches pre-built aligned to connect after the fault moves, etc. Most of the infrastructure runs SW-NE anyway, not a lot crosses the fault.
An unusual presentation - which i appreciate. My reflexive (and personally asinine) reaction to it is to feel proud of the work you all do and the knowledge you enrich us with... ever rolling back The Veil. Fun fact: it's people like you, all over the world, that provide me with the possibility to occasionally say something sensible. All the very best from Mt Messenger, Taranaki.
I'd like to study the earths rapidly weakening magnetic field and how the sun and cosmic radiation is controlling our climate. Is there a course in Wellington covering that?
So the next question is, the hundreds of wee quakes around milford sound the last couple years... Is that spot just nice and loose and releiveing its stress in lots of small quakes... or is that symptomatic of where the biggest stress point is in the fault right now?🤣
So I should probably go back overseas, or move to the north island? Damn I love the alpine region, thinking of the loss of infrastructure, and how inevitable it will be during the next quake makes me incredibly sad. I guess I'll restart my life in the south once the dust settles. Nah, I've moved too much already to end up back in chch, though I was in the PNW, I was screwed eitherway.I better get ready for another seismic event :(
lol I was speaking with some UK tourists in Wellington.., showing me maps of NZ the alpine fault , the hurt calls.

Nart see much? Words evolve. Aotearoa is now the Moari word for all Aotearoa including Te Waipounamu. Reference every te reo academic, all modern dictionaries and Wikipedia. Which took me three seconds to check, something you could have done before making it clear the colour of your neck and banjo playing parochial smooth brain.
Why are you changing the name of my country to Aotearoa New Zealand? The name in English is New Zealand. I get so annoyed when migrants come here and change the name of my country.
Be sure to hand your passport in then. It quite clearly says Aotearoa right there on the front cover and you wouldn't want to make use of something you don't agree with surely?
Are you perhaps confusing regularity with frequency? Sometimes regular is used to mean frequent, but in this case I believe he just means regular, i.e. evenly spaced.
Regular means, well, regular. Something that happens at regularly timed intervals. How long those intervals are is irrelevant. The Milankovich cycle is approx 11,000 years long but it's still regular. And the Iceland comparison is not fair either, it's the result of a completely different geologic process, sea floor spreading and volcanism. The Alpine fault is a combination of subduction and mostly sideways movement, which means no volcanism.
So there's documented evidence of quakes miraculously happening on the same day 300, 600, 900, 1200 and so on, years ago? Now that would qualify "Startling" To qualify as regular it would have happened at least 4 or more times. If it does happen at startlingly regular intervals. They should know when the next quake will be. Or are they give or taking 100 years!😅And don't get me started on the longest straight thing in the world is a bent jagged mountain range.
