Last month's progress within the GeoNet project.

The newly commissioned Kereru site. Note the seismic vault beyond the fence on the left.

• Additional volcano monitoring information was made available on the website. A new section called Current Activity shows a network map, recent earthquakes and links to a representative seismograph for each volcanic centre, plus webcam photographs and movie sequences where these are available.
• Two new combined seismic and CGPS sites were made operational at Arahi (near Wairoa) and Kereru (in southern Hawke's Bay).
• Three more strong-motion recorders, part of the CanNet network, were installed in Christchurch city.
