Caption
Figure 1 is a Location map. (A) Key tectonic elements of the Pacific-Australian plate boundary, including the Alpine fault through the continental South Island of New Zealand. Topography is after Sandwell and Smith (1997). White box illustrates location of B. (B) More detailed map of the Alpine fault (red line), illustrating locations mentioned in the text. Orange lines are roads; gray lines are topographic contours. (C) Composite schematic section through a typical Alpine fault oblique thrust segment, illustrating the sequence of fault rocks exposed in the hanging wall, modified after Norris and Cooper (2007). Outcrops at Stoney Creek, Hare Mare Creek/Waikukupa River, and Havelock Creek are particularly characteristic. DFDP--Deep Fault Drilling Project.
