Pressure, temperature, and stress conditions of Southern Alpine Fault (New Zealand) mylonites
<p>The Alpine Fault, New Zealand, provides a unique window into the rheologic history of a seismically-active continental plate boundary. Due to lower exhumation rates along southern portions of the fault relative to the well-studied central Alpine Fault, deformation ages vary along strike by ~15 …

Mechanisms of Shear Zone Localization and Raman Thermobarometry in Spinel Peridotites from the Alpine Fault, New Zealand
… during the early stages of development of the Alpine Fault. The first set of samples has evidence of dislocation creep with subgrains, recrystallized grains, undulose extinction and a lattice preferred orientation. These samples also show evidence of post deformation static grain growth with …

Towards a model of the Cenozoic tectonic development of New Zealand
… (3) The nature and location, north of the Alpine Fault proper, of the relative plate motion which is evident as dextral fault displacement on the Alpine Fault. (4) The total amount of Cenozoic horizontal displacement through New Zealand. (5) The Neogene and Quaternary extent and geometry of …

Uplift history and geomorphic development of the Southern Alps, New Zealand, assessed by fission track analysis
… rock uplift is asymmetrical with respect to the Alpine Fault, being a maximum (19 km) immediately east of the central part of the Fault, with lesser values at the eastern (3 km), northern (10 km) and southern (8 km) extremities of the Southern Alps. The age of the start of rock uplift varies …

Post-Disaster Road Network Resilience Assessment
… economic loss of US$28.5 billion in damage. The Alpine fault, one of the major fault systems in NZ, extends over 600km in the South Island. There is a high probability of a rupture in the next 50 years, with resulting severe damage to the built environment, especially to infrastructure, …
