The tectonic setting (Figure 1) makes New Zealand one of the most seismically active countries in the world with more than 15,000 earthquakes (ML ≥ 2) located per year (http://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/). Shallow earthquakes (depth <40 km) cluster in a band that extends along the east coast of the North Island above the Hikurangi subduction zone, through the western South Island in proximity to the Alpine fault, to...
