Waikato University researchers, funded by EQC Toka Tū Ake, investigate Hamilton basin geology for improved seismic modeling using 3D simulations.

Waikato University researchers, funded by EQC Toka Tū Ake, are investigating the Hamilton basin's geology to create 3D simulations that could revolutionize seismic modeling globally. The study aims to understand the basin's sedimentary deposits and physical properties to better predict ground shaking during future earthquakes, as previously unknown fault lines were revealed during the construction of the Waikato Expressway.
