The permanent seismic network and earthquakes of M > 5 during the period 2001–2009 inclusive are shown in Figure 1. Since most of New Zealand is seismically active, most of the country is covered by 3-D velocity studies. While the motivation for the regional studies has been to understand crustal structure and tectonic processes, there are many applications of 3-D velocity models. Earth properties are inherently 3-D.... You do not have access to this content, please speak to your institutional administrator if you feel you should have access.
