Research Content

In Japan, the risk of earthquakes is high, and large-scale earthquakes may occur in the future. However, earthquakes cannot be prevented in advance. Therefore, by investigating the damage caused by earthquakes in the past, it is possible to reduce earthquake disasters. It can be helpful.
In our laboratory, we go to the area where the earthquake damage occurred, conduct a field survey, and conduct research using the data obtained there. In addition, since field surveys are undertaken not only in Japan but also overseas, you can gain a wide range of knowledge and experience.

3rd collaborated research seminar with Takase Laboratory

A Day in the Lab

Our laboratory is an independent laboratory. Seniors and juniors are close to each other, and you can feel free to ask questions and discuss research.
In addition, two seminars are mainly held in our laboratory. All the members check the schedule and report on their progress while enjoying tea and sweets while holding a Teatime seminar. The other is a seminar in each grade. Students take the initiative to conduct research-related journals, study sessions to learn analysis and GIS software, and practice research presentations.
