Tom works throughout New Zealand and the Himalaya, including Nepal and Bhutan where he has been part of the science response to the Nepal Earthquake 2015.

[AF8 @AlpineFault8]

Congrats and welcome to @Dr_TRob (@UCNZEarthEnv) our incoming AF8 Science Lead! Although 'new' to the role, Tom is no stranger to Alpine Fault science or AF8, having been involved in the original co-design of our AF8 Scenario, + making ongoing contributions over the past 8-9yrs.

[AF8 @AlpineFault8]

Tom's research focusses on improving our understanding of quake hazards and disaster risk, with particular interest in modelling earthquake-triggered landslides and their consequent impacts on people and critical lifelines over time.

A big mihi to @eaglegis and kaiako from around NZ who have supported the development of this resource – with special thanks to Ashburton College for test driving the resource in the classroom :)
And of course, thanks to @EQCNZ for your sponsorship to make this all possible!

With new beginnings also come endings, and we'd like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the huge contribution our outgoing AF8 Science Lead Associate Prof @COrchiston has made to the programme and our collective kaupapa over the past 7.5 yrs! Ngā mihi nui, Caroline!

[AF8 @AlpineFault8]

The AF8 Programme is seeking a suitably qualified scientist with active Alpine Fault hazard and risk-related research, and strong networks and connections across the science and emergency management sectors... Could this be you!?

[AF8 @AlpineFault8]

We are seeking expressions of interest for the newly vacant AF8 Science Lead position. The EOI details can be found here: https://t.co/M4LqzdxbyL

It’s New Zealand ShakeOut 2023!
Spend 30 seconds to practice your Drop, Cover and Hold today - it will give you a huge advantage during the next earthquake.

The more your practice, the more second nature it will become!

#DRR #ShakeOut #earthquake #hīkoi

[AF8 @AlpineFault8]

It’s International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction! Get prepared for that next earthquake by practising your Drop, Cover and Hold next Thursday 19 October as part of ShakeOut 2023! Sign up here:
