Tectonic context of the 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikoura earthquake. The green lines indicate surface ruptures formed during the earthquake, which are also displayed in the top right inset. The red star represents the epicenter of the Kaikoura earthquake. The magenta circles and blue triangles are the continuous and campaign GPS sites, respectively. The illustration in the upper left represents the tectonic setting of New Zealand, located between the Australian and Pacific plates. The red square indicates the study area. The inset in the bottom right shows the distribution of aftershocks (M > 3, from the GeoNet earthquake catalogue) occurring after the mainshock
