NZL GNS 1:1M faults (1st edition)

This dataset has been superseded by a new edition (2nd edition) available here: https://data.gns.cri.nz/metadata/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/647B1A4A-5E23-4FEE-80D0-260C6A6F49EC .


This dataset contains the 1:1 000 000 faults data for New Zealand. The dataset is a product of the Geological Map of New Zealand 1: 1 000 000 project and was produced by GNS Science. It represents the most current mapping of surface or near surface fault traces for New Zealand in a single dataset at a scale of 1:1 000 000. The dataset is stored in an ESRI vector geodatabase and exported to ArcGIS Server. The dataset comprises arcs with each arc having attributes describing the type of fault, its name, age and activity, and the sense of movement and cumulative slip. It complies with the GeoSciML Portrayal standard for ShearDisplacementStructureView. The outcrop surface (map horizon) on which the features are mapped is the Earth surface. The fields required by the GeoSciML Portrayal standard were populated using the CGI Controlled Vocabulary (2012-11). The data should not be used at scales beyond that for which it was prepared. The spatial accuracy is estimated to be no better than +/- 1000 m.


The dataset is available for purchase as feature classes in ESRI file geodatabase and shapefile GIS formats and freely consumable as a layer in Web Map Services and Web Feature Services from ArcGIS Server.

Statement

The Geological Map of New Zealand 1:1 000 000 was compiled by Steve Edbrooke (Kermadec Islands, North Island and northern South Island), Jane Forsyth (southern South Island, Stewart Island and the sub-Antarctic islands) and Richard Jongens (Fiordland). The map was compiled almost entirely from published maps from the QMAP 1:250 000 Geological Map of New Zealand series, with minor updating where more recent data was available. Geology of the Kermadec, Bounty, Snares, Antipodes, Auckland and Campbell islands, not included in the QMAP coverage, was compiled from a variety of published sources and, for the sub-Antarctic islands, recent unpublished mapping by Ian Turnbull.

Description

Data compiled on 1:250 000 compilation sheets and digitised using ArcInfo.
