GeoNet

GeoNet is the result of a partnership between the Earthquake Commission (EQC), GNS Science, and Land Information New Zealand (LINZ). The GeoNet project was established in 2001 to build and operate a modern geological hazard monitoring system in New Zealand. It comprises a network of geophysical instruments, automated software applications and skilled staff to detect, analyse and respond to earthquakes, volcanic activity, large landslides, tsunami and the slow deformation that precedes large earthquakes.

The GeoNet Data Centre supports both monitoring and research. It is responsible for the capture of all geophysical data streams from our field instruments or third party sources, the basic processing of raw data and the maintenance of secure archives. Its services are supported by an application support duty team 24/7.
