We develop a kinematic model for the transition from subduction beneath the North Island,
New Zealand, to strike‐slip in the South Island, constrained by GPS velocities and active …

Discovery and investigation of millennial-scale geological records of past large earthquakes
improve understanding of earthquake frequency, recurrence behaviour, and likelihood of …

Background Worldwide, disaster exposure and consequences are rising. Disaster risk in
New Zealand is amplified by island geography, isolation, and ubiquitous natural hazards …

Earthquakes are non-linear phenomena that are often treated as a chaotic natural
processes. We propose the use of the Second Law of Thermodynamics and entropy, H, as …

At the southern Hikurangi margin, New Zealand, we use salt marsh stratigraphy,
sedimentology, micropaleontology, and radiocarbon dating to document evidence of two …

This paper presents ground motion and site effect observations in the greater Wellington
region from the 14 November 2016 M w 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake. The region was the …

A computer synthetic seismicity program for the Wellington region has been implemented
and used to infer the effect of the 1848 Awatere and 1855 Wairarapa mega-earthquakes on …

New information on the activity of the Wellington-Hutt Valley segment of the Wellington Fault,
New Zealand, has become available from geological and modelling studies undertaken in …

Recurrence interval (RI) and single-event slip (SES) for large-magnitude earthquakes that
ruptured the ground surface (M w> 6–7.2) can vary by more than an order of magnitude on …
