Figure 2. Geologic map of Mahia Peninsula, Lachlan Ridge, and Lachlan Basin, showing simplified structure. Seafloor geology was mapped via correlation of unconformities and seismic reflectors, which were tied to onshore outcrops, Hawke Bay–1 well (Fig. 3B), and dated seafloor samples (Figs. 4B, 4C,5A, and 5B). New Zealand time-scale stage abbreviations (e.g., Wn-Wc) are listed in Figures 4B and 5A. Unconformities 1, 6, 9, and 12–14 are illustrated in Figures 4D and 5C.

Figure 12. Six-fold (24-channel) migrated high-resolution seismic reflection profile HBT-18 across the Lachlan fault and associated structures east of southern Mahia Peninsula. See location in Figures 2 and 7. Top, uninterpreted; bottom, interpreted. Reflection labels are explained in Figures 4 and 5. The bracketed section labeled “3 to 10” in the footwall basin is approximately equivalent to sequences bounded by unconformities 3–10 in the Lachlan Basin. Bold arrows above profile designate seismic profile tie lines. Note that the correlation of reflectors across the fault, between reflectors 1 and ∼11, is uncertain, so the displacement of the reflector assumed to be 63 ka is unknown.

Figure 16. Analysis of cumulative displacement of the Lachlan fault. (A) Time vs. separation curves illustrating the history of vertical displacement (fault displacement and folding) on the fault. Each curve represents data from a separate seismic profile or cross section, located in Figures 7 and 15. Each data point is the finite cumulative separation observed at present on the labeled horizon; horizontal and vertical bars indicate estimates of uncertainty. Horizon ages are explained in Figures 4 and 5, and vertical-separation estimates are detailed in Figure 14A. Solid squares are data from structural segments I and II combined. Open circles are data from segment III. (B) Enlargement and log-log scale plot of  vertical-displacement data for cross section b–b′ (Fig. 3B), segment III, for the past 1 m.y. of deformation.

Digital terrain model (DTM) of wave-cut platform exposures along eastern Mahia Peninsula. A) DTM of continuous strata was generated with 600 photographs acquired by flying an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) 60 m above exposure. B) Nested scour surfaces observed from the air. C) High-resolution portions of model (from images acquired 2 m above outcrop exposure) matched to centimeter-scale stratigraphic sections measured in the field. D) DTM of laterally thinning packages was generated with 20 photographs acquired by flying the UAV 30 m above the exposure. E) Close-up of laterally thinning packages of thin-bedded turbidites. F) Two plots testing the accuracy of the method and how well bed thickness data measured with the DTM matches data measured in the field. Beds were measured from the base of sandstone to the top of associated mudstone. Plots show data for 50 beds, of which the bottom nine are shown in Part C. The left plot shows bed thickness measured with the DTM plotted against field measurements, with 1:1 line drawn. Percent error of bed thickness measured with the DTM relative to field measurements is shown in the right plot. The plotted line shows the expected measurement error for a DTM with 1 cm resolution. Most data fall within this expected error. Data that lie outside this error resulted from either an inconsistency in the DTM or an inaccurate measurement in the field.
