Symposium: Te Tai Whanake - Growing a stronger, more resilient Aotearoa
As the Resilience Challenge draws to a close after ten-years of research, this symposium provides an opportunity to look back at the journey, the breadth of knowledge we’ve developed and collated, and how we can continue to build on this legacy. Anyone with a role to play in the future of natural hazard resilience in Aotearoa welcome!

Meet Felipe Kuncar
Felipe is a PhD student at the University of Canterbury investigating how local site characteristics influence the amount of ground motion experienced during an earthquake. His work is being used to improve models of ground shaking that are used to predict the impacts of earthquakes on buildings and infrastructure, and his presentation "How does the soil like to dance?" won the Judges Award at the 2023 QuakeCORE Annual Meeting.
