Dynamic viability of the 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake cascade on weak crustal faults

We present a dynamic rupture model of the 2016 M(w) 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake to unravel the event’s riddles in a physics-based manner and provide insight on the mechanical viability of competing hypotheses proposed to explain them. Our model reproduces key characteristics of the event and constraints...
