Abstract
Recently, seismic observation networks of various scales from local to global have been established. They contain the infra-network of seismic surveys and observations, and high concentration strong motion seismograph. Our concern is now how to make the best use of such a huge observation system for a science and disaster mitigation plan. In this project: real-time seismology, we attempt to extract the detailed information on seismic source and strong ground motions at an early stage by using seismic data provided by this huge system immediately after earthquakes or daily. In addition, we aim to develop effective methods to utilize such information for disaster mitigation, and to contribute to th further advancement of earthquake source physics and disaster science.
