Speaker: Sharks Dine Out on…, in reply to Bart Janssen,
they do admire good lawyering
As someone observed in another thread, when the engineers have declared red zones in some of the expensive hill suburbs, then the fancy lawyers will be out in force.

(d) Shift away from Christchurch?
And go where? Somewhere cheaper? Oamaru? Invercargill?
Great piece, Mike, I hope the govt realises this issue isn’t going to go away. I think CERA using its powers to acquire substitute land is the best idea*. Otherwise so many homeowners in the Red Zone just won’t have anywhere to go.
*Presumably they can recoup some of this cost when currently Red Zoned land is remediated and sold, a few years down the track.

Is geology-porn a genre?
I dunno, sounds pretty hard core to me
:-) Actually, cores vary in their hardness. Geologists of my acquaintance have been know to store the softer core samples in condoms so they don't fall apart.
[and if you find that disturbing, think of the poor pharmacist who asked if the gentleman would like teat-ended or non-teat-ended, and was informed, "It doesn't matter, we're going to chop the ends off anyway."]

German exchange students
Who's graben Horst? ;-)
And is there an aseismic creep? (let me set my creepmeter)
Will there be plenty of cleavage? And homoclines and transpressure?
