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

Paleoseismology has been making an important contribution to understanding the Alpine
Fault and the hazard it poses to society. However, evidence of past earthquakes comes from …

The scarcity of long geological records of major earthquakes, on different types of faults,
makes testing hypotheses of regular versus random or clustered earthquake recurrence …

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 …

We develop a kinematic model for the transition from subduction beneath the North Island,
New Zealand, to strike‐slip in the South Island, constrained by GPS velocities and active …

Determining the earthquake segmentation of plate-boundary transform faults remains a
scientific challenge because paleoseismic data sets rarely resolve the end points of past …

To test models of plate motion and seismic hazard through central New Zealand,∼ 10
months prior to the November 2016 Kaikōura earthquake, we excavated three trenches …

The Alpine fault in south Westland, New Zealand, releases strains of Pacific–Australian
relative plate motion in large earthquakes with an average interevent spacing of∼ 330 …

Here we examine the landscape of New Zealand's Marlborough Fault System (MFS), where
the Australian and Pacific plates obliquely collide, in order to study landscape evolution and …

We combine recently acquired airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data along a
portion of the Alpine fault with previous work to define the ways in which the plate-boundary …
