Seismic Anisotropy in South Island, New Zealand
TL;DR: In this paper, the plate boundary through New Zealand, which includes two oblique subduction zones of opposing polarity linked by the transpressional Alpine Fault, has been studied and a fundamental change in anisotropy is observed, which does not correspond in a simple way to changes between subduction and transform faulting.

Illuminating the plate interface structure beneath Cook Strait, New Zealand, with receiver functions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used CCCP and Kirchhoff migration methods to image seismic impedance discontinuities in the upper mantle of the subducting Pacific Plate. But their results suggest that contrary to recent suggestions, the plate is continuous under the northern South Island through the region of seismicity deeper than 50 km.
Modeling Strain and Anisotropy Along the Alpine Fault, South Island, New Zealand
TL;DR: In this article, temperature-and stress-dependent strain fields, crystal preferred orientation, anisotropy and resultant shear-wave splitting are calculated under either pure strike-slip or transpression.

Aftershocks of an M = 4.2 earthquake in Hawaii and comparison with long-term studies of the same volume

TL;DR: In this paper, aftershocks recorded in a 3-hr period after a 4.2 magnitude event on the East Rift Zone of Kilauea volcano, Hawaii, on 12 April 1982 showed that the after-shocks occurred on different planes than the main shock, probably as a result of stress redistribution.
