Oakley was reviewed and approved* by the following: Donald Fisher Professor of Geosciences Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Kevin Furlong Professor of Geosciences Roman DiBiase Assistant Professor of Geosciences Derek Elsworth Professor of Energy and Mineral Engineering Demian Saffer Professor of Geosciences Associate Head for Graduate Programs and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Here we investigate fault-propagation fold kinematics in North Canterbury, New Zealand, addressing questions of how kinematic model parameters can be constrained and different models distinguished and how marine terrace uplift rates reflect fold kinematics. Kinematic models are powerful tools in the study of fault-related folding, but they are subject to problems of non-uniqueness and uncertainty. The North Canterbury fold and thrust belt provides a location where actively growing basement-involved fault- propagation folds can be studied, where uplifted marine terraces provide critical information on fold growth rates, and where the results of kinematic models can inform understanding of deformation in a seismically active and tectonically complex region. We begin by developing methods to fit trishear kinematic models to data and to estimate model uncertainty using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. We then use amino acid racemization, infrared stimulated luminescence, and radiocarbon dating to provide new age dates for marine terraces uplifted by folding and faulting in North Canterbury, where ages were poorly known before. Using the new ages, we calculate uplift rates for the marine terraces, which reveal significant temporal and spatial variations. We use two anticlines along the North Canterbury coast as examples to show that marine terraces can be used to constrain fault-propagation fold kinematic models, both by serving as originally horizontal surfaces to be restored and by facilitating comparison of uplift rates at different structural positions. These approaches allow us to distinguish between trishear and kink-band kinematic models and to constrain the values of trishear parameters, eliminating models that are consistent with the geologic evidence iv but not the terrace uplift. By incorporating terrace uplift into MCMC simulations, we are also able to provide estimates of fault slip rate and age of folding. Ages are consistent with previous estimates, while fault slip rates are likely somewhat higher than previously thought. Finally, we test models for fault-propagation folding in North Canterbury that incorporate listric faults, we consider the implications of recent earthquake sequences and of the reactivation of inherited normal faults for understanding fault geometry at depth, and we construct a regional cross section to estimate shortening across the North Canterbury fold and thrust belt. We find that models of rigid basement block rotation on listric faults, although often used to explain basement-involved folding, are not consistent with the style of faulting and folding seen in North Canterbury. Instead, we develop a model combining trishear with simple shear on steep listric faults, which serves to explain the regional characteristics of faulting and folding in North Canterbury. We also compare this model to the simpler fault geometries tested previously and consider the possibility that not all faults in North Canterbury fit the same model. Depth to detachment is poorly constrained by our kinematic models, but a mid-crustal detachment as proposed by previous authors is consistent with our results. Total shortening estimated from our regional cross section is consistent with the low end of estimates from the geodetic shortening rate across the fold belt and the expected age at which folding began. v TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Figures .......................................................................................................................... vii List of Tables ........................................................................................................................... xiv Acknowledgements .................................................................................................................. xvi Chapter 1 Introduction ............................................................................................................. 1 1-1.

  • 10 Day Top of the South
    10 Day Top of the South The Journey While not the only regions bathed in sunshine and wrapped in beautiful coastlines, Nelson and Marlborough join forces to deliver one of New Zealand’s most diverse and satisfying holiday destinations. Three national parks, beaches and bays, world-famous wineries, delectable produce, art, culture, adrenaline activities and family fun – all this and more can be found on this scenic loop from Britz’s Christchurch depot. Highlights of the trip Christchurch Kaikoura Marlborough Sounds Nelson Lakes National Park Day 1 Christchurch Christchurch is a welcoming city and a convenient departure point for the road trips that lead in almost every direction. Immerse yourself in its dynamic vibe by visiting the arty centre and Re:Start precinct, its parks, gardens and beaches, and suburban hotspots such as Addington and Woolston Tannery. There are several leafy holiday parks out east, including North South, handy to the Britz depot. Day 2 Christchurch to Kairkoura Head up SH1, and in less than 30 minutes you’ll reach Waipara, a burgeoning wine region where Pegasus Bay and Black Estate offer tastings and winery lunches; the Waipara Valley Wine Growers lists other cellar doors. SH1 then leaves the Canterbury Plains and winds over the Hundalee Hills before kissing the coast. Kaikoura lies at the southern boundary of Marlborough, straddling a peninsula guarded by the Seaward Kaikoura Range. It’s world- renown for Whale Watch tours, but there is plenty of other wildlife to see including dolphins, seals and seabirds. Other ways to encounter wildlife are Seal Swiming and Kayak Tours, and the walk along the view-filled Kaikoura Peninsula that passes the Point Kean Seal Colony.

    Community-Led Youth Wellbeing Needs Analysis for the Cheviot Area School Catchment and the Wider Hurunui District Prepared by Michelle Cole, Sarah Wylie and Dr Janet Spittlehouse of The Collaborative Trust for Research and Training in Youth Health and Development, for Cheviot Area School, and of relevance to Together Hurunui and Tipu Māia Kāhui Ako January 2021 Executive Summary Background With support from Lotteries Community Research Fund, research was undertaken in the latter part of 2020 focused on the strengths and opportunities of young people in the Hurunui district, and how these can be assisted to grow. The research was initiated by Cheviot Area School, and undertaken by Michelle Cole, a Hurunui-based youth mental health specialist and Sarah Wylie, a researcher from The Collaborative Trust for Research and Training in Youth Health and Development. The research sought to answer the following questions: 1. What are the current and likely future wellbeing needs of children, young people and whānau in Hurunui? (Evidence of service and support needs, barriers to service access, service and support gaps etc.) 2. What model of service delivery and support provision is best-placed to address these wellbeing needs locally? (What services and supports are most needed, how are they best delivered, and what is possible from both a school, community and service provider perspective?) 3. If a wellbeing hub is found to meet with support, what is the best approach to develop a wellbeing hub at Cheviot School in a sustainable manner? Although commissioned by Cheviot Area School, the research is of relevance to all youth service providers across Hurunui, and is intended as a community resource.
