- Key Words
- active fault / damage prediction / three-dimensional model
- Research Activities
-
In order to present practical disaster mitigation plans for earthquakes in urban areas that may occur in the near future, I analyze cases of inland earthquakes that occurred in Japan and overseas and create databases. In addition, I build analysis technology based on them and aim to apply it in specific research target areas.
