Cenozoic distributed rotational deformation, South Island, New Zealand by Hall, L, Lamb, S, Niocaill, C

“…New structural and paleomagnetic data from the Marlborough region, New Zealand, provide better constraints on the timing of the formation of the South Island orocline. These data indicate that approximately 100° of clockwise bending of the crust has occurred across this part of the plate boundary zone during the Neogene, most of which took place between the early and late Miocene (circa 25-8 Ma), implying that distributed shear has been an important mechanism in the accommodation of Neogene finite strain. …”

Latest Pleistocene–Holocene Incremental Slip Rates of the Wairau Fault: Implications for Long‐Distance and Long‐Term Coordination of Faulting Between North and South Island, New Zealand by R. Zinke, J. F. Dolan, E. J. Rhodes, R. J. Van Dissen, A. E. Hatem, C. P. McGuire, N. D. Brown, J. R. Grenader

“…Abstract We use high‐resolution lidar microtopographic data and luminescence dating to constrain incremental Holocene–latest Pleistocene slip rates for the Wairau fault, a major dextral strike‐slip fault in the Marlborough Fault System, South Island, New Zealand. Our data come from two closely spaced study areas along the structurally simple, central portion of the fault: The well‐known Branch River terrace flight, and a previously undated series of offset risers and channel features several km to the east that we refer to as the Dunbeath site. …”
