TLDR
The recent M w = 7.8 Kaikoura (New Zealand) earthquake involved a remarkably complex rupture propagating in an intricate network of faults at the transition between the Alpine fault in the South Island and the Kermadec-Tonga subduction zone.About:

Complex rupture process of the Mw 7.8, 2016, Kaikoura earthquake, New Zealand, and its aftershock sequence
Simone Cesca,Y. H. Zhang,Vasiliki Mouslopoulou,Rongjiang Wang,Joachim Saul,Martha K. Savage,Sebastian Heimann,Sofia-Katerina Kufner,Onno Oncken,Torsten Dahm +9 more
TL;DR: The M7.8 Kaikoura earthquake was the largest ever instrumentally recorded earthquake in New Zealand as discussed by the authors, which occurred at the southern termination of the Hikurangi subduction margin, where the subducting Pacific Plate transitions into the dextral Alpine transform fault.

Spectral-element simulations of global seismic wave propagation: II. Three-dimensional models, oceans, rotation and self-gravitation
Dimitri Komatitsch,Jeroen Tromp +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors simulate global seismic wave propagation based upon a spectral-element method, including the full complexity of 3D Earth models, i.e. lateral variations in compressional-wave velocity, shear wave velocity and density, a 3D crustal model, ellipticity, as well as topography and bathymetry.

Splay Fault Branching Along the Nankai Subduction Zone
TL;DR: Seismic reflection profiles reveal steeply landward–dipping splay faults in the rupture area of the magnitude (M) 8.1 Tonankai earthquake in the Nankai subduction zone, suggesting slip on the active splay fault may be an important mechanism that accommodates the elastic strain caused by relative plate motion.

Anisotropic shear‐wave velocity structure of the Earth's mantle: A global model
TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D model of the anisotropic shear wave velocity in the Earth's mantle has been proposed, which combines a large data set of surface wave phase anomalies, long-period waveforms, and body wave travel times to construct a three-dimensional model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bayesian inversion for finite fault earthquake source models I—theory and algorithm
TL;DR: CATMIP as discussed by the authors combines the Metropolis algorithm with elements of simulated annealing and genetic algorithms to dynamically optimize the algorithm's efficiency as it runs, and it works independently of the model design, a priori constraints and data under consideration, and can be used for a wide variety of scientific problems.
