Panoramas

During the field trip panorama photos are taken which help students orientate themselves to the field trip environment. Panorama images will appear here during the field trip. Questions from the captions are best answered after watching videos, reading a diary, or listening to an audioconference.

 Monday 27 May 2013

Monday. It was a wintery morning in Dunedin today. Snow on the Maungatua and dark clouds above the Taieri Plains near the airport show how stormy it was. How do you think geospatial information helps weather forecasters? Image: LEARNZ.

 

Monday. It is hard to recognise the centre of Christchurch now that so many buildings have been demolished. What well known buildings used to be in this area? Image: LEARNZ.

Tuesday 28 May

Tuesday. The flood bank along the Avon River in New Brighton. What do you notice about the river level compared with the road level and what do you think has caused this? Image: LEARNZ.

Tuesday. This area of Bexley has been red zoned, meaning it cannot safely be built on. What has caused this land damage and how have these decisions about land been made? Image: LEARNZ.

Tuesday. The Ferrymead Bridge is being rebuilt. Why do you think this is such an important structure? Image: LEARNZ.

Tuesday. This subdivision has been developed since the 2011 earthquakes. What do you think has been done to ensure the land is safe to build on? Image: LEARNZ.

 Wednesday 29 May

Wednesday. The Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) office in central Christchurch. What kind of work does LINZ do? Image: LEARNZ.

Wednesday. This is a topographic map of Christchurch. What is the difference between a topographic map and a city map? Image: LEARNZ.

Wednesday. The view from above Dyers Pass on the Port Hills down to Lyttelton Harbour. Take a look at a topographic map to find out the height of Dyers Pass. Image: LEARNZ.

 Thursday 30 May

Thursday. Looking out over the Canterbury Plains from Dyers Pass. Why is it important to know the exact level of land even in relatively flat areas of Christchurch? Image: LEARNZ.

Thursday. The view from Sugarloaf down to Lyttelton Harbour. How do you think this area may have changed due to the earthquakes and how could you prove this? Image: LEARNZ.

Thursday. Looking south from Lyttelton Port. How was the Port affected by the earthquakes? Image: LEARNZ.
