Slope Monitoring Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab monitors landslides from a base in the mountains of Shikoku.
AboutAbout the lab
Discovering unknown slope risks and preparing for a changing world.
Based at the Tokushima Landslide Observatory in the central part of the Shikoku Mountains, the lab clarifies the actual state of landslides through surveys and monitoring, and develops a variety of measurement technologies.
In recent years, the lab has also been conducting research on the large-scale slope disasters expected in the next Nankai Trough megathrust earthquake.
Key terms
- Geophysical exploration
- A method of investigating underground structure without digging, using seismic waves, electricity, and similar means
- UAV
- A small aircraft flown without anyone on board (a drone)
- Seismic waves
- Waves of shaking generated by an earthquake that travel through the ground
ResearchResearch themes
Based at the Tokushima Landslide Observatory, the lab clarifies the actual state of landslides through surveys and monitoring, and develops measurement technologies.
*Illustrative imageLandslide Research Grounded in Geology
The lab studies landslides using research on physical properties at the electron microscope scale, geophysical exploration, displacement monitoring, laser mapping, UAVs, and satellite positioning. Its fieldwork extends to the seafloor and to Greenland in the far north.
*Illustrative imageInside the Slope During a Landslide
Through field observation and laboratory experiments, the lab investigates what happens inside a slope during landslides caused by rainfall or earthquakes. It also studies changes in slope response during earthquakes and how seismic waves propagate through heterogeneous slopes.
