Machine-translated · View original
The lab measures earthquakes and studies what information people need to take the best possible action during a disaster.
AboutAbout the lab
Judge and act on reliable information.
Prof. Shinichi Sakai's lab studies information that reduces damage from natural disasters, based on earthquake observation.
Natural phenomena do not follow a manual, so the lab explores systems that let everyone act safely by accurately grasping the current situation and predicting what comes next.
The lab considers what information people need to decide on the best possible action in a disaster, and how that information should be communicated.
Using seismometers, the lab has measured ground shaking in a variety of places, including volcanic areas, the seafloor, elementary schools, and temples.
