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

Earthquake surface-fault rupture location uncertainty is a key factor in fault displacement
hazard analysis and informs hazard and risk mitigation strategies. Geologists often predict …

Determining how the crustal structure developed in previous tectonic regimes influences
current deformation is important for understanding seismogenic behavior. Paleozoic …

We summarize the work that has been done within the New Zealand National Seismic
Hazard Model 2022 (NZ NSHM 2022) to evaluate and test the updated hazard model and its …

Accurate estimates of earthquake ground shaking rely on uncertain ground-motion models
derived from limited instrumental recordings of historical earthquakes. A critical issue is that …

The Mojave section of the San Andreas fault is the closest section to the megacity of greater
Los Angeles. A major issue for the population is that the life‐threatening hazard estimate of …

Long recurrence intervals of large earthquakes relative to the historical record mean that
geological data are often utilized to inform forecasts of future events. Geological data from …

Precariously balanced rocks (PBRs) and other fragile geologic features have the potential to
constrain the maximum intensity of earthquake ground shaking over millennia. Such …

We present the first paleoseismic investigation of the Hyde Fault, one of a series of north-
east striking reverse faults within the Otago range and basin province in southern New …

ABSTRACT Precariously Balanced Rocks (PBRs) are a unique type of naturally occurring
structures that are critical to test and constrain seismic hazard at long return periods …
