Landslide Hazard Prediction Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab reads the past, present, and future of landslides.
AboutAbout the lab
Understanding slope disasters through the study of the phenomena themselves.
The lab investigates the actual state of landslide phenomena, and conducts research to clarify their mechanisms and reduce the damage they cause.
Recently, the lab has expanded its research into urban areas, studying earthquake-induced landslides on embankment slopes in residential land, and compiling histories of landslide disasters based on archaeological and historical records.
Key terms
- Landslide dam
- A dam formed when soil and rock brought down by a landslide or similar event block a river
- Embankment fill
- Land made level by piling up soil. It can collapse in earthquakes
- Slope seismology
- A field that applies seismological knowledge and methods to phenomena on slopes
ResearchResearch themes
The lab investigates the actual state of landslide phenomena, and conducts research to clarify their mechanisms and reduce the damage they cause.
*Illustrative imageFast, Long-Traveling Landslides
Using field surveys, monitoring, soil mechanics experiments, and theoretical analysis, the lab studies the initiation and movement mechanisms of rapid, long-runout landslides triggered by earthquakes and rainfall, the hazard of large-scale reactivated landslides, and the hazard of landslide dam formation and breaching.
*Illustrative imageSlope Seismology
The lab observes ground motion and other data on a variety of slopes from Hokkaido to Kyushu to investigate how landslides occur during earthquakes. It also applies seismological methods to slopes and works on monitoring rainfall-induced landslides.
