Ocean bottom seismometer (OBS) data off South Island, New Zealand, acquired during R/V Maurice Ewing survey EW9601 (1996)

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract: 
This cruise was part of a joint US-New Zealand multiphase crustal-scale study of the Southern Alpine orogen across the central South Island of New Zealand, extending out to sea on either side of the island. This joint US-NZ investigation of continental deformation at convergent plate boundaries was known as the South Island GeopHysical Transection (SIGHT) project. MCS and OBS/OBH data were collected on the west (Tasman Sea) side and east (Pacific Ocean) side of South Island. At the end of the cruise OBS/OBH and SCS data were collected off Kakanui Point just south of Timaru as part of the Southern Cross Anisotropy Survey. One of the objectives was to improve understanding of continental deformation at convergent plate boundaries by using marine onshore/offshore seismic techniques to provide a detailed image of the plate boundary from both sides.
