Historical Liquefaction Online GIS-based database
Records of liquefaction following large earthquakes within New Zealand have been collated and digitized into an online GIS-based database as part of FP2 project 17141/ FP2.2.2 which is now available to share
A read-only version of the QuakeCore historic liquefaction database located at:
