The historically unstable Sunkist Bay cliff in Auckland, New Zealand, is formed of weak Pleistocene alluvial sediments, infilling a paleovalley eroded into Miocene sandstone. Weathered tephra layers dip at low angles out of the cliff, and part-control stability. The last major failure prior to 2017 occurred in 2011, immediately to the west of the 2017 failure. Despite the long-term history of instability, over the last two decades, residential property construction has continued to < 10 m of the cliff edge. On 5 April 2017, ex-tropical cyclone Debbie delivered 157 mm of rainfall in 24 h, the 3rd highest 24-h total in 40 years. This was preceded 1 month earlier by 210 mm of rainfall on 8 March (the ‘Tasman Tempest’ storm), locally a 1 in 100-year event. A seawall constructed at the base of the cliff may have acted to inhibit pore-water pressure reduction during March–April 2017, because horizontal drains were absent in the seawall directly in front of the 2017 slope failure. Irrespective of the exact process-mechanisms of the 2017 failure, this case study highlights the importance of careful land use planning and imposition of adequate setback distances in coastal zones in New Zealand, and globally.

2017 年 4 月 5 日,在经历前热带气旋黛比之后,奥克兰新奇士湾的沿海滑坡再次发生

新西兰奥克兰历史上不稳定的新奇士湾悬崖由较弱的更新世冲积沉积物形成,填充了被侵蚀成中新世砂岩的古河谷。风化的火山灰层以低角度倾斜出悬崖,部分控制稳定性。2017 年之前的最后一次重大故障发生在 2011 年,就​​在 2017 年故障的西部。尽管存在长期不稳定的历史,但在过去的 20 年中,住宅物业的建设一直持续到悬崖边缘 < 10 m。2017 年 4 月 5 日,前热带气旋黛比在 24 小时内带来了 157 毫米的降雨量,是 40 年来第三高的 24 小时降雨量。在此之前 1 个月,3 月 8 日(“塔斯曼风暴”风暴)的降雨量为 210 毫米,这是当地 100 年一遇的事件。在 2017 年 3 月至 4 月期间,在悬崖底部建造的海堤可能起到了抑制孔隙水压力降低的作用,因为在 2017 年斜坡破坏正前方的海堤中没有水平排水沟。不管 2017 年失败的确切过程机制如何,本案例研究强调了谨慎的土地使用规划和在新西兰沿海地区和全球范围内施加足够的退避距离的重要性。
