3-D Velocity Structure of the Northern Hikurangi Margin: Implications for Crustal Growth

Bassett, Daniel Graham (Victoria University of Wellington, 2009)

Onshore-offshore wide-angle seismic reflection and refraction data are combined with multi-channel seismic reflection profiles to model crustal structure within a 32,000 km2 block of the northern Hikurangi subduction margin, ...
Crustal Structure and Lithospheric Doming: Aspects of Deformation Along an Obliquely Convergent Plate Margin, New Zealand

Pulford, Anna Karen (Victoria University of Wellington, 2002)

Lithospheric deformation along and adjacent to the Pacific-Australian Plate boundary through New Zealand has resulted in different expressions in North and South Islands. This thesis investigates some aspects of crustal ...
Early Miocene Thrust Tectonics on Raukumara Peninsula, Northeastern New Zealand

Rait, Geoffrey Jonathan (Victoria University of Wellington, 1992)

Raukumara Peninsula lies at the northeastern end of the East Coast Deformed Belt, a province of deformed Late Mesozoic-Late Cenozoic rocks on the eastern edges of the North Island and northern South Island of New Zealand. ...
Evolution of Quartz and Calcite Microstructures Exhumed From Deep Brittle-Ductile Shear Zones in the Southern Alps of New Zealand

Hill, Matthew P (2005)

Arrays of brittle-ductile shears exposed in the Southern Alps of New Zealand, have provided a superb natural laboratory for insight into the microstructural evolution of lower crustal shear zones during exhumation. Shears ...
The Geology of Basement Rocks in the Southeastern Tararua Range, North Island, New Zealand

Foley, Lisa Ann (Victoria University of Wellington, 1984)

Basement rocks within the southeastern Tararua Range belong to two associations: a sedimentary association (greywacke, argillite, calcareous siltstone, conglomerate and olistostrome) and a volcanogenic association (metabasite, ...
The Geology of the Torlesse Supergroup, Southern Tararua Range, North Island, New Zealand

Orr, Thomas O. H. (Victoria University of Wellington, 1984)

Basement rocks in the southern Tararua Range are part of the Torlesse Supergroup, possibly Late Triassic to Late Jurassic in age, and form two distinct associations. The sedimentarv association consists mainly of ...
Insights into the Rheology of Rocks under Brittle-Ductile Deformation Conditions from an Exhumed Shear Array in the Southern Alps, New Zealand

Grigull, Susanne (Victoria University of Wellington, 2011)

A suite of brittle-ductile faults in the central Southern Alps, New Zealand is used as a natural laboratory into the rheology of quartz rocks. The fault array is ~2 km wide and formed in the hanging-wall of the SE-dipping ...
Lithospheric Xenoliths from the Marie Byrd Land Volcanic Province, West Antarctica

Wysoczanski, Richard J (Victoria University of Wellington, 1993)

Studies of the Earths lithosphere, and particularly the lower crust, have in the past relied on geophysical methods, and on geochemical studies of granulite terrains exposed at the surface. Geophysical studies can not ...
Marine Geology of the Turnagain Area

Lewis, Keith Brian (Victoria University of Wellington, 1971)

The Turnagain Area covers the continental shelf and slope off the east coast of North Island, New Zealand between Napier and Castlepoint. Its late Quaternary stratigraphy, tectonic history, sedimentation and foraminiferal ...
Neotectonics, Kinematics, and Evolution of the Vernon, Awatere, and Cloudy Faults of the Marlborough Fault System, New Zealand

Bartholomew, Timothy David (Victoria University of Wellington, 2012)

The coastal Awatere, Vernon, and Cloudy faults are bent and mutually intersecting, forming a complexly deforming dextral-oblique fault network. To try to explain the kinematic, paleoseismic and evolutionary complexities ...
Rates and Styles of Late Quaternary Deformation on the Wairarapa Fault, North Island, New Zealand

Carne, Rachel C (Victoria University of Wellington, 2009)

The Wairarapa Fault is a major active dextral strike-slip fault in the southern North Island of New Zealand. It is expressed at the surface as a highly segmented fault trace that occurs ~100-400 m east of the Tararua and ...
Some Studies of the Geology, Volcanic History, and Geothermal Resources of the Okataina Volcanic Centre, Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand

Nairn, Ian Alistair (Victoria University of Wellington, 1981)

Okataina Volcanic Centre is the most recently active of the four major rhyolite eruptive centres in the Taupo Volcanic Zone of New Zealand. Within the Centre lies Haroharo Caldera, a complex of overlapping collapse structures ...
