Steeply dipping and homoclinal Permian Takitimu Subgroup formations defined in the central part of the range can, with moderate confidence, be traced along strike to other parts of the range where they are more complexly folded and faulted. We report intrusion ages for three Brook Street plutonic suites: pyroxene-bearing White Hill Intrusives (306-270 Ma, U/Pb zircon), amphibole-bearing Mackinnon Peak Intrusives (261 ± 1 Ma, 40Ar/39Ar amphibole), and shoshonitic Wether Hill Dikes (254 ± 1 Ma, 40Ar/39Ar plagioclase). Geological relationships between these intrusions and the host Takitimu Subgroup reinforce the Early Permian age of the latter, which is distinct from the overlying Late Permian Productus Creek Group. The Wether Hill Dikes mark the cessation of igneous activity in the Brook Street Terrane at c. 254 Ma. A large (n = 499) dataset of detrital zircon U/Pb ages from the nonmarine Jurassic Barretts Formation confirms a local Median Batholith-Tuhua Intrusives provenance and supports a post-Permian fore-arc tectonic setting along the Gondwana margin.","PeriodicalId":49752,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics","volume":"66 1","pages":"478 - 494"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42992937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use P- and S-wave arrival times from earthquakes during 2001–2011 as these were manually picked with assigned quality. We demonstrate the usefulness of the catalogue by considering results from the southern South Island where GeoNet seismograph spacing is large. Later phase data used automatic picking and processing of arrival times. We relocate the 2019–2020 data from National Geohazards Monitoring Centre (NGMC) and compare seismicity patterns to consider its usefulness. We find that the auto-detected crustal earthquakes are more sparse in most of the southern South Island compared to the earlier analyst-picked data period, including Fiordland, which is one of the most seismically active areas in New Zealand. The auto-detected seismicity pattern is also problematic at greater depth and does not show a seismicity band in the lower crust across Southland evident in 2001–2011 data. The detection capability could be improved with a much denser permanent network. We recommend that the 2001–2011 relocated catalogues be used in studies of tectonics and seismic hazard across the South Island, and in studies that consider New Zealand wide seismicity patterns.","PeriodicalId":49752,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48185585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The deposit includes two distinct lithofacies. The lower sand unit is inferred to have been transported from the marine environment, with corresponding increases in the percentages of benthic marine and brackish–marine diatoms, and geochemical properties indicative of sudden changes in environmental conditions. Radiocarbon dating indicates the deposit formation is less than 402 yrs BP, and pollen indicates it is unlikely to be younger than 1870 CE. Core stratigraphy age models and co-seismic chronologies point to the marine unit most likely being emplaced by tsunami transport associated with rupture of the Wairarapa Fault in 1855 CE. The overlying unit of gravel and silt is inferred to be fluvial deposit and slope-wash from the surrounding hills, loosened by ground-shaking following the earthquake. These findings indicate the 1855 CE earthquake may have been more complex than previously thought and, or, available tsunami modelling does not fully capture the local complexities in bathymetry and topography that can cause hazardous and localized tsunami amplification in embayments like Swamp Bay.","PeriodicalId":49752,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49371071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specific forecasts produced for work-risk assessments are not generally publicised. During a volcanic crisis, eruption forecasts are demanded under high stress and time-restricted conditions. Many forecasting options exist but none are proven as universally viable, with testing and calibration limited to the hindcasting of specific events. Here, we compare the requirements of six methods with currently available data and monitoring capabilities at each of New Zealand’s volcanoes to determine which methods are currently feasible, as well as those options that may be implemented with additional effort or equipment. In New Zealand, the major limiting factor in method selection is the low number of past instrumentally monitored eruptions. This data gap may be filled by carefully selected analogue data from a global volcano set and expert knowledge. Event trees and the failure forecasting method may be set up at most volcanoes with minimal effort, but the latter can only forecast eruption onset time. Expert interpretation is the only method available in New Zealand for any forecast output type.","PeriodicalId":49752,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46892919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
