Earthquake Catalogues for DWARFS (Dense Westland Arrays Researching Fault Segmentation)

This dataset contains earthquake hypocentral information catalogued as part of the DWARFS (Dense Westland Arrays Researching Fault Segmentation) broadband seismometer networks along New Zealand's Alpine Fault, between April 2019-April 2020.

'Preferred Lat/Lon/Depth' refers to origin determined by method under 'Method'. HypoDD is the preferred method, but some origins could not be relocated and so we present the NonLinLoc derived origin instead. All magnitudes are Local magnitudes calculated using displacements on the vertical channel (MLv). All times are in UTC time. 

This dataset accompanies a publication recently submitted (March 2022) to the AGU journal 'Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth' entitled 'Heterogeneity in microseismicity and stress near rupture-limiting section boundaries along the late interseismic Alpine Fault'.
