Space imaging geodesy reveals near circular, coseismic block rotation during the 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake, New Zealand

Large earthquakes usually rupture plate boundary faults, releasing the accumulated stress as displacements localized along smooth, narrow faults. However, certain earthquakes initiate off main faults, rupturing adjacent, secondary faults. The mechanisms of such atypical stress release remain enigmat...
