In late May, 2021 a large flood event severely impacted the Canterbury region. One of our senior geophysicists, Christian Ruegg, is a member of the NZ Response Team, NZRT-1, and was deployed to the Ashburton District at short-notice to aid in the evacuation, medical assistance and management of the emergency response. We are proud to have a dedicated community service leader on the Southern Geophysical team. Well done, Christian!
