Geometry of the Hikurangi subduction thrust and upper plate, North Island, New Zealand

We use 2800 line km of seismic reflection data to map the offshore character and geometry of the Hikurangi subduction thrust and outer forearc wedge to depths of ∼15 km. For 200 km along‐strike south of Hawke Bay, the subduction thrust is relatively smooth, dips less than 8°, and the wedge is charac...
