An Intensity Measure‐Based Methodology for Ground Motion Orientation in Seismic Structural Assessment

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 15, Page 3859-3879, December 2026.
ABSTRACT In current dynamic time history assessment protocols, ground motion recordings are mostly oriented along fixed sensor directions. Consequently, the orientation of the principal resultant of rupture energy, which may control the maximum structural demand, remains undefined, precluding consistent correlation with physically detrimental ...

Selected Physical and Geotechnical Properties of Loess in Wairarapa Valley, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 4, December 2026.
Loess up to 10 m thick covers marine terraces, old river aggradation terraces, and gentle hill country slopes in Wairarapa, New Zealand. In the drier eastern and southern parts of Wairarapa, the loess is subject to dry summer and autumn and wet winter and spring in most years.

What controls gravity anomalies in subduction zones? The relationship with plate motion and slab geometry

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science
Subduction zones have characteristic patterns of free-air gravity anomalies: high in the arc, low in the trench, and gently high in the outer rise. In order to understand which parameters control the formation of the gravity anomalies, we investigate the

Late Cenozoic Sediment Provenance in the Northern Canterbury Basin, Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 4, December 2026.
Late Cenozoic strata of the northern Canterbury Basin record uplift and erosion of mountain ranges adjacent to the transition from oblique subduction to strike‐slip on the Australian–Pacific plate boundary. Using the provenance of conglomerate clasts and sandstone samples, we reconstruct sediment transport pathways and, by inference, exhumation and ...

Feasibility of a National Earthquake Early Warning System for New Zealand: The Propagation of Local Undamped Motion Algorithm Evaluated on a Physics‐Based Synthetic Earthquake Catalogue

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 4, December 2026.
Earthquake early warning (EEW) can reduce injuries and damage by issuing alerts before incoming shaking. We evaluate the Propagation of Local Undamped Motion (PLUM) algorithm as a candidate for a national EEW system for Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ). We develop and demonstrate a novel methodology for evaluating EEW performance under a wide range of future ...

Large megathrust earthquakes in cold mantle wedge corners under lawsonite blueschist facies

Nature Communications
Giant megathrust earthquakes typically occur above the upper-plate Moho or the 350°C isotherm in warm subduction zones. However, large earthquakes also occur within the mantle wedge corner at 35-55 km depth at cold subduction zones, such as the Kermadec,

Late Pliocene–Quaternary Arc Volcanism at the Southern Limit of the Hikurangi Subduction Zone: Revised Chronology of the Taranaki Peninsula, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 4, December 2026.
Igneous centres across the Taranaki Peninsula represent the southwestern limit of arc volcanism associated with the Tonga–Kermadec–Hikurangi subduction system. Taranaki Maunga, the youngest and largest of three andesitic stratovolcanoes, dominates the geomorphology of the Taranaki Peninsula along with the eroded remnants of the Kaitake and Pouakai ...

Cretaceous–Palaeogene Plate Boundary Evolution at the Pacific Margins of Zealandia and West Antarctica

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 4, December 2026.
Improved satellite‐derived gravity data support updated interpretations and models of ancient plate boundaries and plate motions affecting Zealandia and West Antarctica. The models combine to confidently resolve hundreds of kilometres of Late Cretaceous–Eocene motion between the Pacific and Lord Howe plates, confirming that plate circuit constructions ...
