Earthquake Information Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that supports earthquake observation networks and delivers information for disaster prevention.
AboutAbout the lab
Earthquake observation networks that underpin research.
The Earthquake Information Lab builds and operates systems that collect, store, and distribute observation data on crustal activity, such as earthquakes and crustal deformation.
Alongside considering a sustainable observation system, the lab also conducts research on information dissemination that helps with disaster prevention and mitigation.
Key terms
- Crustal deformation
- The movement or deformation of the ground, for example due to earthquakes
- Observation network
- A system that connects many observation stations to collect data
- Seismic intensity (shindo)
- A Japanese scale that expresses the strength of shaking at a given location
