Tectonics and shore platform development: Rates and patterns of erosion on recently uplifted mudstone and limestone rocks at Kaikōura Peninsula, New Zealand
Abstract:<p>On tectonically active rock coasts, there is a dearth of erosion data documenting how rocks adjust (either fast or slow) in response to marine and subaerial processes immediately after coseismic uplift. Here we report erosion rates and evidence of reshaping of shore platform morphology on intertidal- and previously subtidal- rocks at Kaik&#333;ura Peninsula, South Island New Zealand. As a result of the November 2016 Kaik&#333;ura 7.8 (Mw) earthquake, platforms around the penins… Show more
