The lab gradually uncovers how earthquakes work in subduction zones, using observational data.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how earthquakes work by looking closely at data
The Uchida Lab uses a variety of observational data, including seismometer records, to study how earthquakes occur in the subduction zones where Japan is located.
Its core interest is the preparation process and mechanisms of earthquakes, which could potentially lead to earthquake prediction and forecasting.
Rather than refining one fixed method, the lab advances its research by examining the data and learning whatever knowledge and techniques are needed along the way.
The lab is also interested in making effective use of earthquake and volcano data to accelerate data-driven science.
Key terms
- Subduction zone
- A place where an oceanic plate sinks beneath another plate. Large earthquakes and volcanic activity are frequent.
- Small repeating earthquakes
- A phenomenon in which similar small earthquakes occur repeatedly at almost the same location on a plate boundary. They serve as an indicator of slip rate.
- Plate boundary earthquake
- An earthquake that occurs at the boundary between a subducting oceanic plate and the overriding continental plate.
