DT1 Monthly videocalls

This page provides a schedule of talks, and also PDFs of presentations, at the monthly DT1 calls. The general schedule is as follows:

• 'Odd months': Three calls for each seperate strand of the DT1 programme:
  • Ground motion: last Thursday of every month 9-1030am NZT: https://canterbury.zoom.us/j/96234512607
  • 'Liquefaction': last Thursday of every month 1030-noon NZT: https://canterbury.zoom.us/j/96086277275
  • 'Fault rupture + landslides': last Thursday of every month 1230-2pm NZT: https://canterbury.zoom.us/j/99703191373
• 'Even months': One call to discuss integration across all three strands of the DT1 programme:
  • 'Integration': last Thursday of every month 9-1030am NZT: https://canterbury.zoom.us/j/92660130077
