The earthquake was complex, with 21 faults rupturing throughout the North Canterbury and Marlborough landscape, generating a localised seven metre tsunami and triggering thousands of landslides. With many areas isolated as a result, it presented science teams with logistical challenges as well as the need to coordinate efforts across institutional and disciplinary boundaries. Many research disciplines, from engineering and geophysics to social science, were heavily involved in the response. Coordinating these disciplines and institutions required significant effort to assist New Zealand during its most complex earthquake yet recorded. This paper explores that effort and acknowledges the successes and lessons learned by the teams involved.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering}, author={Woods, Richard J. and McBride, Sara K. and Wotherspoon, Liam M. and Beavan, Sarah and Potter, Sally H. and Johnston, David M. and Wilson, Thomas M. and Brunsdon, Dave and Grace, Emily S. and Brackley, Hannah and Becker, Julia S.}, year={2017}, month={Jun.}, pages={329–337} }
