Reverse faulting in Otago, southern New Zealand, accommodates distributed tectonic
convergence on the eastern side of the Australian‐Pacific plate boundary. Paleoearthquake …

Fluids play a key role in modifying the chemical and physical properties of fault zones, which
may prime them for repeated rupture by the generation of high pore fluid pressures and …

Abstract The Alpine Fault, New Zealand, is a major plate‐bounding fault that accommodates
65–75% of the total relative motion between the Australian and Pacific plates. Here we …

Paleoseismic evidence from the late‐interseismic Alpine Fault suggests key section
boundaries conditionally inhibit rupture. We utilize a year of data from a two‐part …

The widely accepted∼ 450 km Cenozoic dextral strike‐slip displacement on New Zealand's
Alpine Fault is large for continental strike‐slip faults, but it is still less than 60% of the …

Abstract High-precision 40 Ar/39 Ar dating of lamprophyre dike swarms in the Western
Province of New Zealand reveals that these dikes were emplaced into continental crust prior …

The observed variations in the thickness of the conductive lithosphere, derived from surface
wave studies, have a first‐order control on the elevation of the continents, in addition to …

Abstract The Southern Alps experiences rapid bedrock uplift and intense surface processes
like erosion and deglaciation. We quantify how the erosion and deglaciation contribute to …

Seismicity on large faults is often characterized in terms of an independent recurrence time
and magnitude distribution, which forms the basis for calculating future earthquake …

Oblique dextral motion on the central Alpine Fault in the last circa 5 Ma has exhumed garnet‐
oligoclase facies mylonitic fault rocks from∼ 35 km depth. During exhumation, deformation …
