QuakeCoRE

QuakeCoRE is transforming the earthquake resilience of communities and societies, through innovative world‐class research, human capability development, and deep national and international collaborations. We are a Centre of Research Excellence (CoRE) funded by the New Zealand Tertiary Education Commission.

Our Flagship programmes address six areas of multi‐disciplinary research, interconnected to understand and improve how our communities recover and thrive after major earthquakes. Our Technology Platforms are advancing the underpinning infrastructure needed for our research, from lab and field experimentation to complex community datasets and high performance computing. Translation of our research outputs into policy and practice is achieved through active participation with our stakeholders and end users in our research programme and education of the next generation leaders in earthquake resilience.
