Late Quaternary faulting in the Kaikoura region, southeastern Marlborough, New Zealand

Creator:

Van Dissen, Russell J.

Abstract:

Active faults in the Kaikoura region include the Hope, Kekerengu, and Fidget Faults, and the newly discovered Jordan Thrust, Fyffe, and Kowhai Faults. Ages of faulted alluvial terraces along the Hope Fault and the Jordan Thrust were estimated using radiocarbon-calibrated weathering-rind measurements on graywacke clasts. Within the study area, the...

Plate boundary deformation of the Pacific plate : two case studies

Creator:

Leitner, Beate

Abstract:

Two examples of Pacific rim plate boundary deformation are presented. In the first part of the thesis crustal models are derived for the northwestern part of the Vizcaino block in California using marine seismic and gravity data collected by the Mendocino Triple Junction Seismic Experiment. A northwest-southeast trending kink in...

The role of bedrock groundwater in rainfall-runoff response at hillslope and catchment scales

Creator:

Gabrielli, Christopher P.

Abstract:

Bedrock groundwater dynamics in headwater catchments are poorly understood and poorly characterized. Direct hydrometric measurements have been limited due to the logistical challenges associated with drilling through hard rock in steep, remote and often roadless terrain. Here we develop and use an inexpensive, portable bedrock drilling system to explore bedrock...
