A photograph of liquefaction and flooding on a residential property. A sign on the letterbox reads, "We are home". The photograph is captioned by Paul Corliss, "The block of Bexley and Pages Roads".
Sand volcanoes" in the Heathcote Estuary. The volcanoes were caused by liquefaction, where the soil lost its strength and water erupted out of the hole, taking silt with it.
Members of the Student Volunteer Army using wheelbarrows and shovels to clear liquefaction from a Christchurch property. The silt has been piled on the roadside for collection.

This study determined areas of different liquefaction susceptibility in Hurunui District based mainly on geological data, with some limited borehole strata interpretation. Geotechnical data was not analysed. This was the same method used in the earthquake hazard assessments for engineering lifelines in other districts in Canterbury. Hurunui District was the first district that a hazard assessment for engineering lifelines was undertaken for (in 2000) and it did not include a liquefaction susceptibility map like the other district earthquake hazard assessments did. There are no recommendations associated with this report. See Object Overview for background and usage information.
