This is the future of teaching geology and physical geography, particularly at a time when funding shortages mean field trips are being cut.
How’s everyone in Geraldine? Must’ve been a rough start to the day! Geonet just upgraded the quake to a M6.4. Stay safe!

The recent, relatively quiet, release of Google's earthquake early alert system in Aotearoa has allowed @QuakeCoRE researchers (@LJVinnell, @marionLtan, @RajRasikarahul, and @Disastersmatter) to study how NZers respond to early earthquake warning. #EEW
