New predictive equations for Arias intensity from crustal earthquakes in New Zealand

Crustal Deformation due to Atmospheric Pressure Loading in New Zealand

We investigate atmospheric pressure loading displacements in New Zealand using global and regional air-pressure data collected over a period of 50 years (1960-2009). The elastic response of the Earth to atmospheric loading is calculated by adopting mass loading Love numbers based on the parameters of the Preliminary Reference Earth Model (PREM). The ocean response to atmospheric loading is comp...

Crustal structure and apparent tectonic underplating from receiver function analysis in South Island, New Zealand

[1] We utilize seismic converted phases on more than 700 receiver functions calculated for 42 stations in the South Island, New Zealand, to infer crustal and uppermost mantle structure. We determine the crustal thickness from direct observations of conversion from the Moho interface and infer zone of the maximum thickness being located along the axis of the Southern Alps, just east from the Alp...

Update from New Zealand

The Auckland Stillbirth Study, a prospective populationbased case control study, was the first study to report maternal sleep related practices as risk factors for stillbirth [1]. In brief there were 155 women with a singleton late stillbirth (at or greater than 28 weeks’ gestation) without congenital abnormality, born between July 2006 and June 2009 and booked to deliver in Auckland. They were...
