地震観測研究分野

We carry out seismic, geodetic and tsunami observations by installing seismometers, GPS, strainmeters, tiltmeters and tide gauges. We investigate physical mechanisms of earthquake occurrence around Hokkaido area as well as all over the world by analyzing those observed seismic, geodetic and tsunami data.
