Solid Earth Science (Mamoru Kato) Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that tests folklore and conventional wisdom about earthquakes against data.
AboutAbout the lab
Testing conventional wisdom about earthquakes with data.
Kato Lab works in solid earth science, particularly seismology.
In its recent papers, the lab tests phenomena said to be earthquake precursors, as well as rules long cited as empirical laws, against data.
Undergraduate students are assigned to the Earth and Life Environment Division and work on their graduation research (for graduate students, the Earth and Life Environment Division of the Department of Human and Environmental Studies, Graduate School of Human and Environmental Studies).
Key terms
- felt earthquake
- An earthquake large enough for people to feel the shaking.
- anomalous seismic intensity region
- A phenomenon in which places far from the epicenter shake more strongly than the area directly above the hypocenter.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab publishes seismology papers in Zisin, the journal of the Seismological Society of Japan.
