  abstract = {{T}he southern {K}ermadec-{H}ikurangi convergent margin, east of {N}ew {Z}ealand, accommodates the oblique subduction of the oceanic {H}ikurangi {P}lateau at rates of 4-5 cm/yr. {S}wath bathymetry and sidescan data, together with seismic reflection and geopotential data obtained during the {GEODYNZ}-{SUD} cruise, showed major changes in tectonic style along the margin. {T}he changes reflect the size and abundance of seamounts on the subducting plateau, the presence and thickness of trench-fill turbidites, and the change to increasing obliquity and intracontinental transpression towards the south. {I}n this paper, we provide evidence that faulting with a significant strike-slip component is widespread along the entire 1000 km margin. {S}ubduction of the northeastern scarp or the {H}ikurangi {P}lateau is marked by an offset in the {K}ermadec {T}rench and adjacent margin, and by a major {NW}-trending tear fault in the scarp. {T}o the south, the southern {K}ermadec {T}rench is devoid of turbidite fill and the adjacent margin is characterized by an up to 1200 m high scarp that locally separates apparent clockwise rotated blocks on the upper slope from strike-slip faults and mass wasting on the lower slope. {T}he northern {H}ikurangi {T}rough has at least 1 km of trench-fill but its adjacent margin is characterized by tectonic erosion. {T}he toe of the margin is indented by 10-25 km for more than 200 km, and thus is inferred to be the result of repeated impacts of the large seamounts that are abundant on the northern {H}ikurangi {P}lateau. {T}he two most recent impacts have left major indentations in the margin. {T}he central {H}ikurangi margin is characterized by development of a wide accretionary wedge on the lower slope, and by transpression of presubduction passive margin sediments on the upper slope. {S}hortening across the wedge together with a component of strike-slip motion on the upper slope supports an interpretation of some strain partitioning. {T}he southern {H}ikurangi margin is a narrow, mainly compressive belt along a very oblique, apparently locked subduction zone.
