It is now possible to accurately reconstruct late Eocene‐Recent positions of the Australian
plate with respect to the Pacific plate. Rates of plate displacement through New Zealand …

A fundamental goal of the Earth Science community is to understand how perturbations on
Earth's surface are preserved in the stratigraphic record. Recent Source to Sink (S2S) …

New Zealand is a fragment of Gondwana that, before Late Cretaceous sea floor spreading,
was contiguous with Australia and Antarctica. Only about 10% of the area of continental …

Vigorous hydrothermal convection transfers 10 times the average continental heat flow
through the central Taupo Volcanic Zone (TVZ), a region of active extension (approximately …

Abstract Young (<∼ 65 ka) explosive silicic volcanism at Taupo volcano, New Zealand, has
involved the development and evacuation of several crustal magmatic systems. Up to and …

Abstract Reconstructions of the New Zealand subcontinent from 40 Ma to the Present are
presented. Assumptions that have constrained the model include: semi‐straight initial …

The basement geology of New Zealand is composed of early Palaeozoic terranes of the
Western Province, that are separated from late Palaeozoic–Mesozoic Eastern Province …

Deformation across the active Hikurangi subduction margin, New Zealand, including
shortening, extension, vertical‐axis rotations, and strike‐slip faulting in the upper plate, has …

After a prolonged period of convergent margin tectonics in the Late Paleozoic and Mesozoic,
resulting in terrane accretion, uplift and erosion of the New Zealand segment of Gondwana …

1The QMAP Quaternary timescale pre-dates the presently recognised chronology for the
Pleistocene/Quaternary. QMAP adopted the Quaternary Period in 1994, based definitions on …
