Geological and structural mapping of the Nelson-Richmond urban area, South Island, New Zealand Collaborative Project with M. Johnston and P. Wopereis, partly supported by the Tasman District Council and Nelson City Council.
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.
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.
