Journal ArticleDOI
Geophysical evidence on the structure of the Taupo Volcanic Zone and its hydrothermal circulation
TL;DR: In this paper, a model of large-scale convection occurring throughout the TVZ is presented, in which the geothermal fields represent the upper portion of the rising, high-temperature, convective plumes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Sediment data from shallow marine cores in the western Ross Sea are presented that exhibit well dated cyclic variations, and which link the extent of the East Antarctic ice sheet directly to orbital cycles during the Oligocene/Miocene transition, suggesting that orbital influences at the frequencies of obliquity and eccentricity controlled the oscillations of the ice margin at that time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plate boundary deformation in South Island, New Zealand, is related to inherited lithospheric structure
TL;DR: The Alpine Fault as discussed by the authors is the main active structure in the oblique continental collision zone of South Island, New Zealand and it is continuous at the surface for ∼800 km and accommodates ∼70% of current plate motion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of a growing accretionary prism, Hikurangi margin, New Zealand
TL;DR: The Hikurangi margin of eastern North Island, New Zealand, represents the feather edge of the Indian plate at its convergent boundary with the subducting Pacific plate, and a migrated seismic reflection profile across this margin clearly displays the structural evolution of an accretionary prism as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The opening of Cook Strait: Interglacial tidal scour and aligning basins at a subduction to transform plate edge
TL;DR: A compilation of marine geological and geophysical datasets suggests that Cook Strait developed when five sedimentary basins at a rapidly changing, obliquely convergent, plate boundary were moved into line and were linked by strong tidal scour in middle Pleistocene times.
