The Canterbury region of New Zealand experienced a sequence of significant earthquakes during 2010 and 2011. These earthquakes occurred on 2010-09-04, 2011-02-22, 2011-06-13 and 2011-12-23. This layer contains coordinates computed from GNSS fast static and network RTK surveys undertaken after the Canterbury earthquakes. It also includes Lyttelton Vertical Datum 1937 and Christchurch Drainage Datum heights, derived from the GNSS data. **Users may also be interested in the simplified data in the companion layer [Canterbury Earthquake Geodetic Marks (2010, 2011) - Simple](http://data.linz.govt.nz/layer/1589).** These coordinates are only provisional. Analysis is ongoing as further data is collected. Coordinates were calculated using SNAP v2.3.61. Stations were constrained using coordinates calculated by GNS Science. Some coordinates were calculated from data provided by Christchurch City Council and other public and private organisations. No precise levelling data has been used. The uncertainty (one standard deviation) is 0.02m horizontally, and 0.03m vertically for NZGD2000 ellipsoidal heights. The uncertainty (one standard deviation) of the Lyttelton Vertical Datum 1937 and Christchurch Drainage Datum heights is 0.05m. The coordinates calculated prior to 2010-09-04 have been calculated from a combined adjustment including LINZ data and additional data provided by public and private organisations. These coordinates differ from those in the Geodetic Database and more accurately reflect the position of the mark immediately prior to the 2010-09-04 earthquake. The deformation model igns2011_working.grd calculated from a model (v4) provided by GNS Science on 28 April 2011 was used to remove secular deformation. Lyttelton Vertical Datum 1937 heights have been computed from NZGD2000 ellipsoidal heights by subtracting NZGeoid2009 geoid heights and adding an offset of 0.47m to bring in terms of Lyttelton Vertical Datum 1937. Christchurch Drainage Datum (CDD) heights have been computed in the Christchurch area from NZGD2000 ellipsoidal heights by subtracting NZGeoid2009 geoid heights and adding an offset of 0.523m (specifically calculated for Christchurch City) to bring in terms of Lyttelton Vertical Datum 1937 (for Christchurch) and a further offset of 9.04m to bring in terms of CDD. The model used to estimate whether movements greater than 2cm occurred at a mark (excluding those due to liquefaction or other localised deformation) after the 2010-09-04 earthquake was provided by GNS Science (Darfield_Sep2010_model_8.5_grid_displacements_calcs.xls). The model used to estimate whether movements greater than 2cm occurred at a mark (excluding those due to liquefaction or other localised deformation) after the 2011-02-22 earthquake was provided by GNS Science (Chch_Feb2011_geodetic_source_model_3.21.xls). The model used to estimate whether movements greater than 2cm occurred at a mark (excluding those due to liquefaction or other localised deformation) after the 2011-06-13 earthquake was provided by GNS Science (Chch_Jun2011_geodetic_source_model_0.4.xls). The model used to estimate whether movements greater than 2cm occurred at a mark (excluding those due to liquefaction or other localised deformation) after the 2011-12-23 earthquake was provided by GNS Science (Chch_Dec2011_geodetic_source_model_0.2.xls). These coordinates are suitable for use in surveys and other geospatial activities in Canterbury and Christchurch. **For full information about this dataset, see [the Canterbury earthquake information](http://www.linz.govt.nz/survey-titles/canterbury-earthquake/canterbury-earthquake/geodetic-survey-control-coordinates) on the LINZ website.**

The Canterbury region of New Zealand experienced a sequence of significant earthquakes during 2010 and 2011. These earthquakes occurred on 2010-09-04, 2011-02-22, 2011-06-13 and 2011-12-23. The coordinates in this layer account for all significant movements relating to these, so should be consistent with any observations made after the last earthquake to affect a given area (neglecting localised deformation such as that due to liquefaction). **Users may also be interested in the more comprehensive data in the companion layer [Canterbury Earthquake Geodetic Marks (2010, 2011) - Comprehensive](http://data.linz.govt.nz/layer/1588).** These coordinates are only provisional. Analysis is ongoing as further data is collected. Coordinates were calculated using SNAP v2.3.61. Stations were constrained using coordinates calculated by GNS Science.

**For further information about this dataset, see [the Canterbury earthquake information](http://www.linz.govt.nz/land/surveying/canterbury-earthquakes/information-for-canterbury-surveyors-post-earthquake-cadastral ).** Coordinates computed by adding the effects of deep-seated movement to survey points that had authoritative survey-accurate digital cadastre (SDC) coordinates immediately prior to 4 September 2010 (the first Canterbury earthquake). Marks that did not have SDC status at that time are not included in the dataset. Deep-seated movements were evaluated using the NZGD2000 deformation model. - The 'nod_id' column is the Landonline node id. This is the unique identifier for the mark. - The 'current_name' column is the Landonline mark name. Many boundary marks do not have a name recorded in this dataset, because this information has not been digitally captured. - The 'east_mtpleatm2000' and 'north_mtpleatm2000' columns are the east and north coordinates (metres) in terms of the Mt Pleasant 2000 transverse mercator projection. Rounded to the nearest centimetre. - The 'coord_order' column is the Landonline coordinate order immediately prior to 4 September 2010. The estimated absolute uncertainty of these coordinates is 0.09m at the 95% confidence level. These coordinates are intended for the use of Licensed Cadastral Surveyors when locating boundaries in Christchurch, in accordance with the Rules for Cadastral Survey 2010 and associated guidance, particularly [guidance relating to the earthquakes](http://www.linz.govt.nz/land/surveying/canterbury-earthquakes/information-for-canterbury-surveyors-post-earthquake-cadastral).

The Wellington 1953 to NZVD2016 Conversion Raster provides users with a two arc-minute (approximately 3.6 kilometres) raster image of the conversion of normal-orthometric heights from the Wellington 1953 local vertical datum to the New Zealand Vertical Datum 2016 (NZVD2016). The conversion value is represented by the attribute “O”, in metres. This conversion and NZVD2016 are formally defined in the LINZ standard [LINZS25009](http://www.linz.govt.nz/regulatory/25009). The height conversion grid models the difference between the Wellington 1953 vertical datum and NZVD2016 using the LINZ GPS-levelling marks. From the GPS-levelling marks the expected accuracy is better than 2 centimetres (95% Confidence interval). More information on converting heights between vertical datums can be found [on the LINZ website](http://www.linz.govt.nz/data/geodetic-services/coordinate-conversion/converting-between-nzvd2016-nzgd2000-and-local-vertical-datums).

The Moturiki 1953 to NZVD2016 Conversion Raster provides users with a two arc-minute (approximately 3.6 kilometres) raster image of the conversion of normal-orthometric heights from the Moturiki 1953 local vertical datum to the New Zealand Vertical Datum 2016 (NZVD2016). The conversion value is represented by the attribute “O”, in metres. This conversion and NZVD2016 are formally defined in the LINZ standard [LINZS25009](http://www.linz.govt.nz/regulatory/25009). The height conversion grid models the difference between the Moturiki 1953 vertical datum and NZVD2016 using the LINZ GPS-levelling marks. From the GPS-levelling marks the expected accuracy is better than 2 centimetres (95% Confidence interval).

The GSB26-NZVD2016 grid enables the conversion of normal-orthometric heights from the Gisborne 1926 local vertical datum to the New Zealand Vertical Datum 2016 (NZVD2016). The conversion value is represented by the attribute “O”, in metres. This conversion and NZVD2016 are formally defined in the LINZ standard [LINZS25009](http://www.linz.govt.nz/regulatory/25009). GSB26-NZVD2016 is published on a two arc-minute grid (approximately 3.6 kilometres) extending over the benchmarks that nominally define the extent of the Gisborne 1926 vertical datum (177.0° E to 178.6° E, 37.4° S to 39.0° S). The height conversion grid models the difference between the Gisborne 1926 vertical datum and NZVD2016 using the LINZ GPS-levelling marks. From the GPS-levelling marks the expected accuracy of GSB26-NZVD2016 is better than 2 centimetres (95% Confidence interval).
