At the beginning of the Late Triassic, a period of increased precipitation occurred over large
tracts of Central Pangea, the “Carnian Pluvial Event”. It was a short-lived event (> 1 Ma) …

A team of earthquake geologists, seismologists, and engineering seismologists has
collectively produced an update of the national probabilistic seismic hazard (PSH) model for …

Damage zones have previously been classified in terms of their positions at fault tips, walls
or areas of linkage, with the latter being described in terms of sub-parallel and …

Restraining-and releasing bends with similar morphology and structure have been
described by many previous studies of strike-slip faults in a variety of active and ancient …

Active fault traces are a surface expression of permanent deformation that accommodates
the motion within and between adjacent tectonic plates. We present an updated national …

Deformation across the active Hikurangi subduction margin, New Zealand, including
shortening, extension, vertical‐axis rotations, and strike‐slip faulting in the upper plate, has …

1The QMAP Quaternary timescale pre-dates the presently recognised chronology for the
Pleistocene/Quaternary. QMAP adopted the Quaternary Period in 1994, based definitions on …

Taupo Volcanic Zone (TVZ), New Zealand, is a NNE-trending rifting arc, active for~ 2 Myr,
with a 125-km-long central segment characterized by exceptionally voluminous rhyolite …

Geomorphology has long been recognised as a key to evaluate the interplay between
tectonics and landscape geometry in the regions of active deformation. We use geomorphic …

Interaction and displacement transfer between active intersecting strike-slip (or transform)
and extensional fault systems are examined. Outcrop data from a well-preserved strike-slip …
