Sea level rise could<br />
A RECENT study of vertical<br />
land movement has shed new<br />
light on the extent and speed of<br />
sea-level rise happening in parts<br />
of Christchurch.<br />
<strong>The</strong> GNS Science study has<br />
shown that sea-level rise in<br />
some parts of the district could<br />
happen up to twice as fast as<br />
previously thought, as a result<br />
of increased land subsidence<br />
following the Christchurch and<br />
Kaikōura earthquakes.<br />
“We all knew that the land<br />
changed dramatically as a result<br />
of the Canterbury earthquakes,<br />
and this new data shows the<br />
extent to which some areas have<br />
continued to subside after the<br />
earthquakes,” said city council<br />
team leader coastal adaptation<br />
planning Jane Morgan.<br />
“It’s also confirmed that, since<br />
then, most parts of the district<br />
are subsiding faster than before<br />
the earthquakes.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> greatest subsidence is<br />
happening around the edges<br />
of Ihutai Avon Heathcote<br />
Estuary, at Bexley, South New<br />
Brighton and Southshore, and<br />
at Sumner, Redcliffs, Lyttleton<br />
Harbour and Koukourarata Port<br />
Levy.<br />
“We don’t yet have a good<br />
understanding of what’s<br />
happening in other parts of<br />
Banks Peninsula, due to the<br />
availability of data at the time of<br />
this work.<br />
“But generally, where we<br />
have low-lying and coastal<br />
areas subsiding, it means the<br />
impacts of sea-level rise – coastal<br />
flooding, erosion and rising<br />
groundwater levels – will happen<br />
sooner, giving us less time to<br />
plan ahead and adapt.”<br />
