Changes in plate boundary kinematics: Punctuated or smoothly varying — Evidence from the mid-Cenozoic transition from lithospheric extension to shortening in New Zealand
(2013)The marine magnetic anomaly record and plate kinematics derived from that data provide evidence of numerous cases of significant changes in plate motions and plate interactions. However, in most cases the temporal resolution ... -
Late Miocene surface heat flow and thermal modelling of Murchison and southern Taranaki basins, New Zealand
(2014)Numerical thermal modelling of the successions interescted in Fresne-1, North Tasman-1 and Surville-1, southern Taranaki Basin, establishes a Late Miocene surface heat flow value of 77 ± 6 mWm-2 compared with a present-day ... -
The lithospheric geodynamics of plate boundary transpression in New Zealand: Initiating and emplacing subduction along the Hikurangi margin, and the tectonic evolution of the Alpine Fault system
(Elsevier, 2009)In contrast to the normal ‘Wilson cycle’ sequence of subduction leading to continental collision and associated mountain building, the evolution of the New Zealand plate boundary in the Neogene reflects the converse—initially ... -
Neogene plate tectonic reconstructions and geodynamics of North Island sedimentary basins: Implications for the petroleum systems
(Ministry of Economic Development, 2006)Although the modern Australia-Pacific plate boundary through New Zealand is relatively straight, there have been significant changes in its geometry during the Neogene. Within the North Island sector there has been a ... -
Two-phase growth of high topography in eastern Tibet during the Cenozoic
(Nature Publishing Group, 2012)High topography in eastern Tibet is thought to have formed when deep crust beneath the central Tibetan Plateau flowed towards the plateau margin, causing crustal thickening and surface uplift(1,2). Rapid exhumation starting ...
