Tens of thousands of earthquakes are catalogued by the New Zealand geohazards monitoring agency, GeoNet (Petersen et al. Citation2011), across the country every year (https://quakesearch.geonet.org.nz/). An earthquake’s nucleation location – either specified in two dimensions by latitude and longitude (epicentre) or additionally including depth information in the third dimension (hypocentre) – is a fundamental parameter in the catalogue.
We analyze shallow (0–20?km) microseismicity adjacent to the Alpine Fault in New Zealand, where there is oblique convergence of the Australian and Pacific plates. Focal mechanisms for 155 earthquakes (June 2012 - October 2013) are inverted to determine the orientation of the stress field.
