This dataset defines the maximum tsunami height (maximum amplitude) expected to be exceeded once every 100, 500, 1000 and 2500 years on average at the 50th and 84th percentile of confidence, as estimated by the model described in Power et al. (2022). The dataset also defines the coastal sections that were used for this modelling. The expected maximum tsunami heights are presented for each of these coastal sections. Please note that the expected maximum tsunami height will typically only occur at one location within each coastal section. It is a conservative (pessimistic) assumption if this height is used throughout the section. DOI: https://doi.org/10.21420/C3CK-FB93 Cite data as: GNS Science. (2022).

The landmark 518-page publication "Cenozoic Mollusca of New Zealand" by Beu & Maxwell (1990, NZGS Paleontological Bulletin 58) is long out of print. This publication by Beu & Raine (2009, GNS Science Miscellaneous Publication 27) contains revised descriptions and names of all species treated in detail in Paleontological Bulletin 58, arranged in a hypertext format. This guide has been constructed from the text of NZGS Paleontological Bulletin 58, with the figures individually scanned and available alongside the relevant text. Minor changes have been made to the text of morphological descriptions and notes about distribution, but the names of taxa and comparison notes have been extensively updated with taxonomic changes that have been published on Mollusca during the intervening 20 years.

This dataset defines the maximum expected tsunami height (maximum amplitude) for return periods of 100, 500 and 2500 years at the 50th and 84th percentile of confidence, as estimated by the model described in Power (2013).

Please note that the maximum expected tsunami height will typically only occur at one location within each coastal section.

This dataset contains the bounding arcs to the 1:1 000 000 geological units data for New Zealand. The dataset is a product of the Geological Map of New Zealand 1: 1 000 000 project and was produced by GNS Science. It represents the most current mapping of the geology of New Zealand in a single dataset at a scale of 1:1 000 000. The dataset is stored in an ESRI vector geodatabase and exported to ArcGIS Server. The dataset comprises arcs with each arc having attributes describing the type of contact, its name, exposure and accuracy. It complies with the GeoSciML Portrayal standard for ContactView. The outcrop surface (map horizon) on which the features are mapped is the Earth surface. The fields required by the GeoSciML Portrayal standard were populated using the CGI Controlled Vocabulary (2012-11). The data should not be used at scales beyond that for which it was prepared. The spatial accuracy is estimated to be no better than +/- 1000 m. The dataset is available for purchase as feature classes in ESRI file geodatabase and shapefile GIS formats and freely consumable as a layer in Web Map Services and Web Feature Services from ArcGIS Server.

This dataset has been superseded by a new edition (2nd edition) available here: https://data.gns.cri.nz/metadata/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/647B1A4A-5E23-4FEE-80D0-260C6A6F49EC.

This collection of datasets contains the 1:1 000 000 geological data for New Zealand. These datasets are a product of the Geological Map of New Zealand 1:1 000 000 project and were produced by GNS Science. They represents the most current mapping of the geology of New Zealand at a scale of 1:1 000 000. The datasets are stored in an ESRI vector geodatabase and exported to ArcGIS Server. The datasets comprises separate feature classes describing the geology. The mapping frame for the majority of datasets is defined as 'surface geology', but some are either 'base of overlying geology' or 'top of basement'. The data should not be used at scales beyond that for which it was prepared. The spatial accuracy is estimated to be no better than +/- 1000 m. The datasets are available for purchase as feature classes in ESRI file geodatabase and shapefile GIS formats and freely consumable as a layer in Web Map Services and Web Feature Services from ArcGIS Server.
