(2016). The New Zealand Active Faults Database. New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics 59: 86-96. doi: 1080/00288306.2015.1112818
The New Zealand Active Faults Database 1:250,000 scale (NZAFD-AF250) is a national database of locations and attributes of onshore active faults (e.g., names, ages and amounts of displacement) and is intended for use at 1:250,000 scale. Most faults have deformed the ground surface of New Zealand within the last 125,000 years. In the TaupÅ Rift most have deformed the ground surface within the last 25,000 years. For more information visit https://doi.org/10.21420/R1QN-BM52
The New Zealand Active Faults Database 1:250,000 scale (NZAFD-AF250) is used for a variety of purposes such as geological research, hazard modelling, and infrastructure planning and is an underlying dataset for other nationally significant hazard applications (e.g. the National Seismic Hazard Model). This view of the database is intended to be portrayed and used at a scale of 1:250,000. For more information visit https://doi.org/10.21420/R1QN-BM52
