    New faultlines found in Canterbury

    Several new active faultlines have been discovered in Canterbury - including one under Barbadoes St and one out to sea.

    Scientists, speaking at a press conference in Christchurch this afternoon, said survey work in the region had uncovered new faultlines.

    One fault is at sea and is considered the greatest risk for a magnitude-6.0 to 7.0 earthquake. However, it is not considered a tsunami risk.
