A High-Resolution, Large-Scale, Land-OBS Seismic Array Experiment Along Hikurangi Subduction Zone, Accretionary Border, Forarc and Backarc Basin in New Zealand

该研究是美国孟菲斯州立大学、法国ORSTROM、DSIR和新西兰维多利亚大学、英国利兹大学的国际合作项目，涉及新西兰整个北岛及其邻近地区的大规模陆地和海底地震台阵实验。 将在陆地上部署至少 100 个三分量数字地震站，并部署 12 个数字海底地震仪，以覆盖新西兰下方瓦达蒂-贝尼奥夫区域的整个几何形状。 研究结果将细化活动海沟和走滑断层区的构造结构，并对该活动区的地震危险性评价产生影响。 这项研究是国家地震减灾计划的一部分。

This research involves a large-scale land and ocean bottom seismic array experiment over the entire North Island of New Zealand and its adjacent regions as an international cooperative project between Memphis State University of the United States, ORSTROM of France, DSIR and Victoria University of New Zealand, and the University of Leeds of the United Kingdom. At least 100, three-component digital seismic stations will be deployed on land and 12 digital ocean bottom seismographs wull be deploye dto cover the entire geometry of the Wadati-Benioff zone beneath New Zealand. The results will refine the tectonic structure of an active trench and strike-slip fault region and will bear on evaluation of the seismic hazard of this active area. This research is a component of the National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program.
