Two Japanese seismologists will present new methods of recording earthquakes and of warning people before imminent shaking danger. They are here in New Zealand to apply some of these methods to the Hikurangi subduction zone, which is offshore the North Island and which is the earthquake fault which presents the most danger to New Zealand.
