A Kinematic Model of Quaternary Fault Slip Rates and Distributed Deformation at the New Zealand Plate Boundary

H. Hirschberg et al.

Summary: In this study, we present a kinematic model of Quaternary long-term deformation at the New Zealand plate boundary. The model provides improved estimates of fault slip rates and uncertainties, and predicts lower shortening rates along the Hikurangi subduction margin compared to previous estimates. It also predicts large strains adjacent to the Alpine Fault, indicating significant plate motion on faults with currently unknown slip rates. The study highlights the importance of considering interseismic locking and uncertainty in fault parameters for accurate seismic hazard assessment.

Strike-Slip Enables Subduction Initiation Beneath a Failed Rift: New Seismic Constraints From Puysegur Margin, New Zealand

Brandon Shuck et al.

Summary: The Puysegur margin in the southern New Zealand region has experienced a series of tectonic events over the past 45 million years, transitioning from rifting to strike-slip to incipient subduction. Through deep-penetrating imaging techniques, it has been revealed that subduction initiation in the Puysegur Trench was likely assisted by inherited structural weaknesses imprinted into the lithosphere during earlier continental rifting and strike-slip events. Forced nucleation along a strike-slip boundary is identified as a viable subduction initiation scenario, which has implications for understanding subduction initiation throughout Earth's history.
