Dynamic Rupture Simulation Reproduces Spontaneous Multifault Rupture and Arrest During the 2016 Mw 7.9 Kaikoura Earthquake

Abstract The 2016 Kaikoura (New Zealand) earthquake is characterized as one of the most complex multifault rupture events ever observed. We perform dynamic rupture simulations to evaluate to what extent relatively simple forward models accounting for realistic fault geometry can explain the characte...
