Abstract
Abstract Focal depths of microearthquakes indicate that seismicity in the north-west Nelson region is confined to depths less than about 15 km. This result provides a contrast with the Marlborough and Wellington regions where earthquake activity extends through the lower crust and well into the mantle. A composite focal mechanism implies current NW-SE compression in accord with results for shallow earthquakes in other parts of central New Zealand.
