Late Cenozoic exhumation model of New Zealand: Impacts from tectonics and climate
Late Cenozoic convergence between the Australian and Pacific Plates has led to extensive
crustal deformation and exhumation in New Zealand. Over the past five decades, the …

Earth's one‐of‐a‐kind fault: The Tanlu fault
Large‐scale strike‐slip faulting commonly occurs in active tectonic margins, but rarely, if
ever, do large faults cut deep into ancient continental nuclei known as cratons. With thick …

Is the Mesoarchean Mulgandinnah shear zone, Pilbara Craton, the world's oldest arc-slicing transform fault?
A Aldoud, T Kusky, L Wang - Geology, 2024 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Arc-slicing transform faults represent an integral component of convergent margin tectonics.

Strike‐slip enables subduction initiation beneath a failed rift: New seismic constraints from Puysegur Margin, New Zealand
Subduction initiation often takes advantage of previously weakened lithosphere and may
preferentially nucleate along pre‐existing plate boundaries. To evaluate how past tectonic …
