Current Research

Geophysical characterization of seismogenic zones around Japan.In the last decade or two we have obtained a series of deep-sea drilling and monitoring, seafloor observation, and seismic exploration datasets. This program focuses on integration of these data through numerical modeling toward the assessment of thermal, hydrogeological and stress field in the hanging wall of the seismogenic fault zone of Nankai Trough.
