Abstract:<p><b>In this thesis, controlled-source seismic data acquired during two regional-scale experiments are analysed to determine the offshore lithospheric structure at the Hikurangi subduction margin in New Zealand. Subduction of the ∼120 Myr old Hikurangi Plateau occurs beneath the east coast of North Island, New Zealand. Because the plateau is an oceanic large igneous province, where the crustal thickness is about 50% greater than normal oceanic crust, there are different dynamics and seismicity pat… Show more
