    A Volcano Monitoring Network has sensed Auckland's response to the Covid-19 lockdown

    A Volcano Monitoring Network has sensed Auckland's response to the Covid-19 lockdown


    The Auckland Volcano Seismic Network has detected a slowdown in the amount of activity happening in the city.

    GNS Science Volcanologist Brad Scott says every day the seismic noise levels are at what is usually seen on a quiet Sunday.

    He says there has been a significant decrease in the amount of noise and this shows people are behaving appropriately and are staying home.
