Description

The Fox Peak and Forest Creek Faults in South Canterbury show evidence for segmentation based on the surface expression of late Quaternary faulting. Slip rates were calculated at over 100 sites along the Fox Peak Fault from (a) global positioning system (GPS) and total station fault scarp profiles; (b) field measurements of fault geometry and kinematics; and (c) age data from infrared stimulated luminescence, Schmidt hammer exposure-age dating and regional map correlations. Near the centre of...
