Abstract
A seismic Benioff zone and plate kinematics show Puysegur Trench south of New Zealand transitioning to subduction. Because the local structure and its influence on subduction initiation is poorly understood, we conducted a seismic survey with ocean bottom seismometers and multichannel seismic profiles. Our early results show that the overriding Pacific Plate beneath the Solander Basin is composed of block-faulted and thinned continental crust,...
