Description:We investigated the seismic velocity structure of the Hikurangi margin in New Zealand to uncover the physical features of the subduction zone and explore the relationships between microearthquake seismicity, seismic velocity structure, and slow slip events. Using local earthquake tomography with data collected from both temporary ocean bottom seismometers and on-land permanent seismic stations, we used the tomography code TomoFD to iteratively perform a damped least squared inversion of absolute P and S arrival times to obtain relocated hypocenters and generate 3D velocity models for Vp and Vp/Vs. The seismic tomography images show two high Vp/Vs anomalies, one offshore
