DNA from kelp records major earthquake that hit Otago about 1000 years ago

Nicole Reporter from Dunedin News

Kelp clinging to the rocky South Otago coast has shown scientists the destructive power of a magnitude 7-plus earthquake that hit the region about 1000 years ago.

Kelp clinging to the rocky South Otago coast has shown scientists the destructive power of a magnitude 7-plus earthquake that hit the region about 1000 years ago.

DNA testing of kelp at Taieri Beach, at the northern end of an uplifted zone where the Akatore Fault reaches the coast, reveals a "clear genetic difference" from kelp on adjacent shoreline that was not raised by the quake.

University of Otago biologist Professor Jon Waters said the research showed major historic quakes could "leave a lasting DNA signature" in terms of coastal recolonisation, just as the November 2016, magnitude 7.8, Kaikōura quake had.

If you want to go boldly where few have stayed before - the coastal settlement of Warrington may just be your ticket to an out-of-this world experience.

Known locally as 'The Spaceship', this iconic Futuro home has been based in the Otago township, since 1975. Despite initial fears that this a friendly alien may buy the home when it was put on the market in 2017, that invasion did not eventuate.

Instead the property was sold to a Kiwi working in Australia, and has been listed for $83 a night on Airbnb since March.

This month we’re rolling up our sleeves, putting up our hands, and saying ‘YES’ to giving our time and skills to projects that make Aotearoa a better place to live.

As a mostly volunteer led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!

Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (16-22 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.

Want to share your thoughts?

Let us know how you’re getting involved this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
