Blick, G.H. 1976 Survey report - Kakariki 1976. Lower Hutt: New Zealand Geological Survey. New Zealand Geological Survey report EDS 34 16 p.
Abstract: The Kakariki pattern, straddling the Wellington Fault, was initially installed by EDS in 1964 and 3 extra points were installed in November 1975. The Department of Lands and Survey carried out the initial survey in 1969 (SO Plan NO. 28396) and the second survey was carried out by EDS in January 1976. The purpose of this pattern is to monitor secular deformation across the Wellington Fault at regular intervals. A full description of the Kakariki site and pattern will be the subject of a separate report at present in preparation. The purpose of this report is to present details of the method of surveying and the survey results. A full description of the significance of the results in terms of earth deformation is not intended in this report series. The Kakariki site straddles the Wellington Fault which separates Mesozoic greywacke to the north west from Upper Pliocene marine sediments to the south east. The scarp is upthrown to the north west and cuts Recent and Late Otira Glaciation deposits. The dominant component of displacement is right-lateral and reaches 65 m in post glacial terms.
