Displacement since the Pliocene along the southern section of the Alpine fault, New Zealand: comment and reply

Article Abstract:

A recent study is being criticized for claiming to be the first quantitative estimate of Neogene Alpine fault displacement. However, a review of the study reveals that such a claim was never made. Instead, the study is the first estimate arrived at with the use of well-constrained offset and age. Previous estimates of Neogene Alpine fault displacement are hampered by large uncertainties in age and offset estimates.

Displacement since the Pliocene along the southern section of the Alpine fault, New Zealand: comment and reply

Article Abstract:

A 1994 study claimed to be the first quantitative estimate of Neogene displacement on the New Zealand Alpine fault, as the Australian-Pacific plate boundary that passes through New Zealand is called. This claim is fraudulent since there had been a previous study quantitatively estimating Neogene displacement on the fault. Nevertheless, the study is a valuable addition to research on the New Zealand Alpine fault.

Fault reactivation and fluid flow along a previously dormant normal fault in the northern North Sea

Article Abstract:

A reactivated fault in the North Sea off the coast of Norway has been investigated. The most likely cause for this situation is the accumulation of carbon dioxide and helium in the vicinity of this tectonic fault.
