Estimating Plate tectonic forces at the New Zealand Plate Boundary using strain rates derived from a kinematic model of Fault Slip

H Hirschberg, R Sutherland - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
We construct a model of forces at the New Zealand plate boundary from dynamical thin‐
sheet modeling. Stress magnitudes estimated are 10–50 MPa and effective viscosities are …

Variations in seismogenic thickness along the Central Alpine Fault, New Zealand, revealed by a decade's relocated microseismicity

K Michailos, EGC Smith… - Geochemistry …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The Alpine Fault is an oblique strike‐slip fault that is known to fail in large
magnitude (M7–8) earthquakes, yet it is currently seismically quiescent. We examine the low …

Plate Boundary Kinematics and Dynamics in New Zealand

H Hirschberg - 2023 - openaccess.wgtn.ac.nz
I investigate deformation, forces, and material properties of the New Zealand plate boundary
zone through a series of kinematic and dynamical models. I use an iterative method based …
