Short-and long-term processes at or close to the subduction plate interface (eg, mineral
transformations, fluid release, seismicity and more generally deformation) might be more …

Geodesy, the oldest science, has become an important discipline in the geosciences, in
large part by enhancing Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities over the last 35 years …

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

Understanding the partitioning of seismic and aseismic fault slip is central to seismotectonics
as it ultimately determines the seismic potential of faults. Thanks to advances in tectonic …

ABSTRACT The 2016 M w 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake continued a notable decade of
damaging earthquake impacts in New Zealand. The effects were wide ranging across the …

Among the wide range of thermal, petrologic, hydrological, and structural factors that
potentially affect subduction earthquakes, the roughness of the subducting seafloor is …

The installation of a continuous GPS (cGPS) network in New Zealand since 2002 has
enabled the discovery of 15 slow slip events at the Hikurangi subduction margin. Our …

Continuously operating global positioning system sites in the North Island of New Zealand
have revealed a diverse range of slow motion earthquakes on the Hikurangi subduction …

Because of a combination of new observational tools and a flurry of large megathrust
earthquakes, tremendous progress has been made in recent years towards understanding …

Subduction faults, called megathrusts, can generate large and hazardous earthquakes. The
mode of slip and seismicity of a megathrust is controlled by the structural complexity of the …
