The models show low Q values indicate enhanced fracturing and fluid presence along the Alpine Fault.
At a depth of 20 km, low Q values highlight strain accumulation capable of producing significant earthquakes.
Observational analysis using temporary seismograph deployments informs the understanding of crustal seismic properties.
The findings underscore the risk posed by identified faults in the Southern Alps region for the South Island.

New Q models reveal significant heterogeneity in crustal properties along the Alpine Fault, indicating seismic hazards.

Bourguignon et al. (2025) studied this question.
