scientists Japan will Thorough Earthquake in Palu

Three Japanese scientists will examine the earthquake in Palu, Central Sulawesi, as well as providing training to the students and the local community.

It is the third scientist Junji Kiyono of Kyoto University, and Yusuke Ono and Tatsuya Noguchi of Tottori University, said Junji Kiyono as a speaker in scientific seminar "Earthquake Observation and Mitigation of Natural Disasters" held at the University Tadulako Palu, Friday.

Junji Kiyono comparing the earthquake in Aceh in 2004 and the earthquake in Japan in 2011.

He said the earthquake caused a tsunami in Aceh and in Japan there are similarities, the waves rise slowly and about 10 seconds then the speed of the water will rise.

He admitted that he was interested in doing research in Palu because this region is similar to the geographical conditions in Japan.

While Yusuke Ono and Tatsuya Noguchi introduced a tool to measure an earthquake tremor.

Noguchi said the tremor occurred at the surface vibrations of the earth and can not be felt by humans so as to know the strength of the vibration sensor is required.

Seismic tremor with a Hertz force can come from anything, such activities factories, vehicles on the highway, or volcanic eruptions.

In the near future the Japanese scientist who was accompanied by three researchers from the University of Gadjah Mada (UGM) and the University Tadulako Palu, and a number of students will conduct research on the potential for earthquakes in Palu.

Subagyo, earthquake researchers from Gadjah Mada University, said Palu chosen to be the object of study because it bypassed the town of Palu Koro faults along up to 1,000 kilometers of potentially earthquake.

The researchers will conduct drilling in the mountains of West Gawalise in Palu District.

The city of Palu in Central Sulawesi Province is one of seven areas prone to natural disasters which are set by the government.

It is the seventh area of ​​Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Bengkulu, West Sumatra, Central Java, East Nusa Tenggara and Central Sulawesi.

Subagyo hope the results of research by Japanese scientists and local researchers will be useful for the development of science.

"Clearly the results can prevent more casualties,
