Map-view restorations of the Alpine and Wairau faults in the last 10 Myr Retro-deformation of horizontal and vertical displacements is used to reconstruct the evolution of the South Island plate boundary faults since the Late Miocene. The reconstructions focus on the coupling of accumulating dextral offset on the Alpine Fault, and a NE-migrating wave of exhumation and uplift of its hanging wall, tracked by syntectonic terrestrial deposits. Strike-slip and dip-slip components both decrease near the “bend”, where deformation is transferred to the Wairau and Marlborough faults.
Development of the New Zealand Community Fault Model v. 1.0. The model is aimed at providing a simplified 3D representation of active and potentially seismogenic faults of the whole New Zealand region. The project is led by GNS Science, with participation of researchers from different institutions.
