We collate nearly two decades of campaign GPS data gathered at over 900 sites throughout New Zealand to release a New Zealand nationwide GPS velocity field. The data span the entire North and South islands of New Zealand ...

The impact of postseismic decay has been concerned mostly with the edge of plate boundaries. But great earthquakes (larger than M8.0) can cause widespread postseismic decay in areas well beyond any recognised plate boundaries. ...

New Zealand’s actively deforming landscape results in both gradual and imperceptible deformation to instantaneous block shifts. The geophysical processes that cause the deformation include the tectonic plate motion (slow, ...

Along with the damage to buildings and infrastructure, the April 25, 2015 Mw7.8 Gorkha earthquake caused significant deformation over a large area of eastern Nepal with displacements of over 2 m recorded in the vicinity ...
