Seismic shaking and tectonic deformation during strong earthquakes can trigger widespread
environmental effects. The severity and extent of a given effect relates to the characteristics …

ABSTRACT The New Zealand Active Faults Database (NZAFD) is a national geospatial
database of active faults–including their locations, names and degrees of activity–that have …

We present an overview of the evolution of the 2010–2012 Canterbury earthquake
sequence, summarising the findings from a broad range of studies on the larger …

New predictive models for fault displacement and surface rupture hazard analysis
developed through the Fault Displacement Hazard Initiative (FDHI) research program …

This paper provides an overview of the ground motion and seismic source aspects of the
Canterbury earthquake sequence. Common reported attributes among the largest …

Fault displacement hazard assessment is based on empirical relationships that are
established using historic earthquake fault ruptures. These relationships evaluate the …

Abstract During the 2016 M w 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake, the Kekerengu fault ruptured the
ground surface and produced a maximum of∼ 12 m of net displacement (dextral slip with …

Dextral slip at the western end of the east-west–striking Greendale fault during the 2010 MW
7.1 Darfield earthquake transferred onto a northwest-trending segment, across an apparent …

Urban resilience to natural disasters has constantly been a challenge to sustainable
development in human societies. Since Iran is always exposed to natural disasters such as …

With a little more than 100 years since the publication of seminal and field-defining
investigations, active tectonics is still a relatively young sub-discipline of structural geology …
