AF8 [Alpine Fault magnitude 8] is an award-winning programme of scientific modelling, coordinated response planning and community engagement, designed to build resilience to the next Alpine Fault earthquake. While we can’t predict earthquakes, scientific research indicates there is a 75% probability of an Alpine Fault earthquake occurring in the next 50 years, and there is a 4 out of 5 chance that it will be a magnitude 8+ event.

About AF8
AF8 is a brand that focuses on the exploration of our ever-changing Earth and the science behind it. They offer a range of products and services that aim to educate and engage people in understanding the geological forces that have shaped our planet over millions of years. With a keen geological eye, AF8 aims to unveil the evidence left behind by earthquakes and other natural events.
Like detectives, geologists study the scars, fractures, and movements of the Earth's surface to uncover its past. From the uplifted seabed of the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake to the raised beach platforms at Cape Turakirae, AF8 uses these anomalies to date past events and gain insights into our planet's history. The brand also employs paleoseismology, a detective tool that examines past earthquakes to forecast present risks and future hazards.
By studying traces of fault displacement and using radiocarbon dating, AF8 pieces together the puzzle of our planet's geological story. Join AF8 in exploring the science and unraveling the mysteries of our Earth
