A consistent seismic hazard and fragility framework considering combined capacity-demand
uncertainties is proposed, in light of the probability density evolution method (PDEM). The …

In this paper, seismic exploration methods are reviewed with a particular emphasis on the
use of the reflection seismology to investigate the subsurface structures and characterize …

A team of earthquake geologists, seismologists, and engineering seismologists has
collectively produced an update of the national probabilistic seismic hazard (PSH) model for …

New Zealand entered a period of increased seismic activity in 2003, which, to date, has
included around 20 large or damaging earthquakes. Building on decades of forecast model …

Active fault traces are a surface expression of permanent deformation that accommodates
the motion within and between adjacent tectonic plates. We present an updated national …

Estimates of surface rupture displacement and magnitude for crustal earthquakes from the
preinstrumental era (pre-1900) tend to be greater than the corresponding estimates derived …

We present a new probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) for New Zealand. An
important feature of the analysis is the application of a new method for the treatment of …

In the center of the frontal wedge of the Hikurangi subduction zone, New Zealand, Mahia
Peninsula and its submarine continuation, Lachlan Ridge, are being uplifted and folded …

The Canterbury region of the South Island of New Zealand straddles a wide zone of active
earth deformation associated with the oblique continent-continent collision between the …

Controlling the development of land on or close to active faults is a Resource Management
Act 1991 issue. These guidelines provide direction on land use planning approaches for …
