CORK observatory, top part
Te Matakite is the top part of the CORK observatory. It will sit just above the Hikurangi Subduction Zone main fault, in an area which we know experiences slow slip earthquakes. It will remain down there for the next 5 years measuring temperature, pressure and chemistry changes during earthquakes.
