Visiting Earthquake Scientists at GNS Science



Scientist Rob Langridge showed me an exciting research project he is working on!
Aerial photographs show scientists lots of information about fault lines but in New Zealand large areas of forest cover mean the contours of the land cannot be seen in many places.
He is using a laser scanner operated from a small plane to collect images that travel down to the land and bounce back up to the plane without showing the trees!
