The September 2010 M w 7.1 Darfield (Canterbury) earthquake in New Zealand is one of the best-recorded earthquakes of this magnitude. The earthquake occurred on a previously unidentified fault system and generated a 29.5 ± 0.5-km-long surface rupture across a low-relief agricultural landscape. High-accuracy measurements of coseismic displacements were obtained at over 100 localities along the Greendale fault. Maximum net displacement ( D max ) (5.3 ± 0.5 m) and average net displacement ( D avg ) (2.5 ± 0.1 m) are anomalously large for an earthquake of this M w . D max / surface rupture length ( SRL ) and D avg / SRL ratios are among the largest ever recorded for a continental strike-slip earthquake. "Geologically derived" estimates of moment magnitude (M w G ) are less than the seismologically derived M w , derived using widely employed SRL -M w scaling regressions. M w G is greater than M w using D max - and D avg -M w regressions. The "geologically derived" static stress drop of 13.9 ± 3.7 MPa provides a context with which to compare this earthquake rupture to interplate and intraplate ruptures of similar M w . This data set provides fundamental information on fault rupture processes relevant to seismic-hazard modeling in this region and analogous settings globally.
