Ignimbrite flare-up - I'd like to see that paper. The IFU the western US experienced (ca. 20-30 Ma) was due to the Farallon slab collapsing into the mantle and really hot asthenospheric material contacting continental crust...boom!  

As to the question about future prospects of the diminishing Alpine fault, I don't know. I'll have to look for another example of opposed polarity subduction zones mating

It is definitely geology on steroids in Aotearoa

I guess that is a band name  

I'll try and find that paper for you. I think it was from this year.

The most recent paper I read is that NZ is currently in the middle or even beginnings of an ignimbrite flare-up so I wouldn't go with relative stability, unless you take some ridiculously short time-frame for geological processes. The rest is pretty mundane stuff that could apply just about anywhere on the Pacific rim.
The actually reality is that NZ geology is scary as all hell but equally fascinating.

New Zealand is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, a region of intense volcanic and seismic activity. The country is currently experiencing a period of relative stability, but this is expected to change in the future.

Over the next million years, New Zealand is expected to experience a number of tectonic events, including:

  • Earthquakes: New Zealand is currently experiencing a number of earthquakes each year, and this number is expected to increase in the future. The largest earthquakes in New Zealand are capable of causing significant damage and loss of life.
  • Volcanic eruptions: New Zealand is also home to a number of volcanoes, and these volcanoes are expected to erupt in the future. Volcanic eruptions can cause significant damage and loss of life, as well as release harmful gases into the atmosphere.
  • Tsunamis: New Zealand is also located in an area that is prone to tsunamis. Tsunami waves can cause significant damage and loss of life, as well as inundate coastal areas.

These tectonic events are a natural part of the Earth's evolution, but they can also pose a significant threat to the people and infrastructure of New Zealand. It is important to be aware of the risks associated with these events and to take steps to mitigate them.

There are a number of things that can be done to mitigate the risks associated with tectonic events in New Zealand. These include:

  • Building codes: Building codes in New Zealand are designed to withstand earthquakes and other tectonic events. These codes can help to reduce the damage caused by these events.
  • Emergency plans: New Zealand has a number of emergency plans in place to deal with the aftermath of tectonic events. These plans can help to reduce the loss of life and property.
  • Education: It is important to educate the people of New Zealand about the risks associated with tectonic events and how to stay safe. This education can help to reduce the impact of these events.

Hey all! Nate, here. Just wanted to let you all know that RP headquarters and the team are all ok. It has been quite the experience. Our office escaped all damage, however my personal house was pretty trashed inside. Lot's of broken stuff and no power for about 16 hours. My kids and I were able to get things cleaned up and we were thankful we were fairly well prepared with generators and other supplies. Alanna, William, and the rest of the team are all ok and faired well. Thanks for the concern and thanks for listening!

Triple junction kinematics accounts for the 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikoura earthquake rupture complexity





Lots to unpack in this paper. I understand the desire to create a microplate between the volcanic arc and the subduction zone (essentially the forearc and the accretionary wedge) but then we could also invoke the same here in Cascadia land. It is clear, from paleomag and geodetics, that our forearc is moving at a different relative velocity from the backarc (North America) much like what these authors see  in NZ. There are indeed great similarities between the two tectonic systems and they are really complex. NZ's is much more seismically potent as it produces waaaay more significant eqs. than ours.  Thanks for pointing out this paper.
