Topographic and kinematic data from the Kaikoura earthquake, New Zealand (NERC grant NE/P021425/1)

In this submission we Include three data sets collected as part of a NERC Urgency programme. Data were collected from a key field site within the Marlborough Fault Zone (MFZ), New Zealand. The Mw 7.8 Kaikoura Earthquake of 14th November 2016 was characterised by a surprising degree of spatial complexity in the surface displacement field in the Marlborough region, South Island, New Zealand. This complexity includes movement on up to 12 faults, besides a high degree of variability in apparent slip along strike of individual faults over relatively short distances. The Urgency programme included rapid collection of Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS), Structure from Motion (SfM) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data immediately after this event. We include data for one of our field sites for which data collection succeeded, and processing has been completed. For a summary of the key initial findings from this data set, see the following EGU 2018 Abstract and summary: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2018/EGU2018-6847.pdf

Statement: Happy_valley.RiSCAN. The data include a full array of TLS data collected at our Happy Valley field site. Data collection took place using the NERC GEF Riegle VZ-1000 (http://gef.nerc.ac.uk/equipment/tls/vz1000/vz1000_overview.php ) The data folder includes all raw data and processing outputs from a typical RiScan-Pro data flow. Happy_valley_GNSS_RINEX_CSV. These data include all GPS and GNSS data collected at the Happy Valley field site in support of the TLS survey (above). Raw and processed data are included. Happy_Valley_UAV data. Here we include all raw UAV data (photographs and video) and processed Agisoft Photoscan outputs (DEMs) for the MFZ field sites collected (in 2016) before the earthquake.
