Walk through the Christchurch Red Zone with geologist Dr Sam Hampton.

The Red Zone is now a place of unmarked boundaries, remnants of sections remain, and the reasons for the creation of the Red Zone is fading in memory.

This workshop covers the series of seismic events, the impacts and the resultant changes to the landscape brought on by the natural ground conditions and by decision-makers during the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence.

The workshop will discuss what is beneath our feet, what environments were in these areas and how this influenced how the ground responded.

We grew up outside, connected with the nature and believe that our kids should go outside too.

Here, at Field-based STEM, we are all working as a big team. Tap into our collective expertise.  

"Unlike scientific community programmes that are expensive and require lots of investment, field work is done by individuals and is accessible to anyone. The skills gained during field work open up a huge area for everyone undertaking it."
