    Experts discuss chances of further big quakes for Chch

    This morning the Commission heard from Professor Jarg Pettinga of Canterbury University, who said that in the mid-1980s scientists were aware of eight active faultlines in the Canterbury area.

    But as of 1998, studies revealed that there was in excess of 100 active faultlines in the region and in addition to that there are still a number of hidden faultlines under the subsurface, Pettinga said.
