A tectonic geomorphological study is one of the best methods of evaluating the timing and the crustal deformation of pre-historic earthquake. To reveal the cycle of interplate earthquakes along the Sagami Trough, I investigatedthe emergedshoreline topography andthe fossilizedsessile assemblages in the Miura Peninsula andthe Boso Peninsula. The distribution pattern of coseismic vertical displacement during the 1703 Genroku Kanto Earthquake inferredfrom the height distribution of the paleo-shoreline suggests that the fault source model consists of a dual fault system of the Fault A andB. Fault A is also the source of the 1923 Taisho Kanto Earthquake. The geometry and ages of the emerged shoreline topography divided into several levels indicate that the characteristic earthquake generatedfrom Fault A has occurredabout every 400 years. One of several events, it is accompaniedwith a slip of Fault B, which has a recurrence interval of 2000-2700 years.

The Earthquake Research Committee of the Headquarters of Earthquake Research and Promotion estimated the probability of an earthquake of magnitude around 7.0 occurring during the next 30 years as 70%. This is based on five earthquakes that occurred in the southern Kanto region (i.e., the 1894 Meiji-Tokyo earthquake, the 1921 and 1922 Ibaraki-ken Nanbu earthquakes, the 1922 Uraga-channel earthquake and the 1987 Chiba-ken Toho-Oki earthquake). However, it has been revealed that the Kanto region is situated on complicated tectonic conditions due to subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate and the Pacific Plate beneath the continental plate, and that various types of earthquake occur. Therefore, it is necessary to classify these earthquakes into interplate and slab earthquakes, and to estimate their recurrence intervals. In this paper, at the outset of such studies, we review previous studies on two earthquakes (the 1894 Meiji-Tokyo and 1895 Ibaraki-ken Nanbu earthquakes) that occurred in the Meiji era and collect the data.

An investigation is carried out on earthquake damage to 839 buildings in and around Bam City, and seismic intensities, using European Macroseismic Scale 1998 (EMS98), are estimated. The northern and eastern sides of Bam City show higher damage rates (more than 80%), than the southern and western sides (20% less). Combining the results and the vulnerability classes of various building types, the estimated MSK intensities are higher (up to XI) at the northern and eastern sides, and lower (down to VIII) at the south and west sides.

The Hinagu fault system, Kyushu, Japan, is located in the westernmost part of the Beppu-Shimabara graben. This fault system is characterized by a quite high seismic activity and estimated to have a higher seismic risk among active faults in Kyushu Island. In 2003, we conducted an extensive seismic expedition in and around the Hinagu fault area. This expedition involves seismic refraction/wide-angle reflection experiment using dynamite shots and seismic array observation both for the active and passive seismic sources. For the refraction/wide-angle reflection study, two profile lines of 56.4 and 32.1km lengths were set in EW and NNE-SSW directions, respectively, on which 7 dynamite shots of 100-200kg charge and 359 recorders were deployed. The array observations, which were designed for high-resolution imaging of crustal scatterors and reflectors, were undertaken at 5 sites in the fault region. This paper presents the outline of this seismic expedition and fundamental data obtained.

At 2 PM, on 7th December 1828, a major earthquake occurred at Kanagawa post town, in Yokohama city. In the present study, using historical documents describing this event, we obtain a detailed map of the distribution of seismic intensity. It is clarified that the area of seismic intensity 6 to 7 (JMA scale) covers the main areas of Yokohama city. The area of intensity 5 covers whole part of Tokyo city zone, the eastern part of Kanagawa prefecture. The magnitude of this event was estimated at 6.4 using the area of intensity 5.

We launched the Special Project for Earthquake Disaster Mitigation in the Metropolitan Tokyo area to obtain high-resolution images of three-dimensional seismic wave velocity and attenuation structures. The core item of this project is a dense seismic array called MeSO-net for making observations in the metropolitan area. MeSO-net consists of 400 seismic stations, from which data are continuously collected at the Data Center at ERI. At the Sub-Center at NIED, data are backed up and integrated with Hi-net data. Seismic data with a sampling rate of 200 Hz are transmitted to the Data Center using ACT protocol. Data from all stations are received at the Data Center at ERI. After checking the quality (including lost packets) of data received, data are automatically processed and archived using the WIN system. This observational network and the Data Center are equipped with several new functions for reliable data transmission and ease of maintenance.

The Special Project for Earthquake Disaster Mitigation in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area has been ongoing (2007−2012). Under this project, the Metropolitan Seismic Observation network (MeSO-net), which consists of about 400 observation sites, has been constructed. The correlations of waveform from local and teleseismic events are high because observation sites are deployed at about 2 or 3-km intervals. In addition, the later phase is easily identified although artificial noise is very intense. However, we are attempting to improve quality by characterizing the various types of noise. In the metropolitan area, various human activities are observed that generate noise such as trains, automobiles, aircrafts, factories, and electrical power. These adversely affect our observations. We recognize various types of noise from continuous records. A spectral graph and a spectrogram in each station are useful for characterizing signals and noise. We also discovered a form of system noise obtained from the relationship between sensor and electrical circuit. We named it Aurora Noise. The strength of Aurora Noise was reduced by improving the electrical circuit. Our study will lead to improving the quality of observed data, and contribute to a new assessment of seismic hazard in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area in Japan.

The Autonomous Cooperative data Transfer Protocol (ACT protocol) is one of the data transfer protocols based on UDP/IP developed for the Metropolitan Seismic Observation network (MeSO-net). It has a robust re-send function to prevent data from being lost in the Internet route. Moreover, it also has a function to adjust the data transmission rate considering the quality of the Internet route and the load on the data-receiving system. If the Internet route is too busy to send all data, the transmission rate from the observation station is decreased automatically to ease the Internet traffic jam, and data that cannot be sent because of the limitation on the transmission rate are stored at each station. After conditions recover, the stored data are sent automatically at an increasing transmission rate and gradually catch up with real-time data. The transmission rate is decided by data transmission equipment at the station using pre-loaded algorithms, not at the data center. Therefore, the load at data center equipment is not so high even if the equipment receives data from hundreds of stations. We describe an overview of the ACT protocol, flow charts, and data format used in the protocol. We also demonstrate that the ACT protocol is very powerful for the vast size of the seismograph network composed of several hundred stations. The ACT protocol is generally applicable and can be used for data transmission systems in other scientific fields.

The Tokyo metropolitan area is under constant threat of strong ground motions from future plate-boundary earthquakes along the subducting Philippine sea slab. Here, we upgrade a ground motion simulation of the 1923 Kanto earthquake using a source model along the new geometry of the Philippine sea slab, geophysical-based velocity model, and effcient computational tool. The source process was inferred from strong-motion, teleseismic, and geodetic data with the new geometry of the slab. The 3D velocity-structure model beneath the Tokyo metropolitan area has been constructed using integrating refraction, reflection, borehole, microtremor, and gravity data, as well as ground motion spectra. We introduce a low-frequency ground motion simulation using these models and the finite element method with a voxel mesh. The western basin edge complicated wave propagation, and excited long-period motions were found within the basin. We confirmed that the simulated ground motions are sensitive to the distribution of asperities of the source model along the shallower plate geometry where the eastern major asperity is located closer to downtown Tokyo than in previous models. Because high-frequency components are essential for seismic intensity measurements, source modeling using the pseudo-dynamic approach and ground-motion simulation using the hybrid method combining deterministic and stochastic approaches are strong candidates to complete a broadband ground motion simulation.

A large earthquake, called the"Bunsei Kyoto earthquake,"occurred at about 3 : 00 P.M.-5 : 00 P.M. 2nd day of 7th month, Bunsei 13th (Gregorian calendar: 19 August, 1830) in Kyoto, Kinki district, Japan, causing enormous damage, especially in the central part of Kyoto city. Large structures of representative architecture in Kyoto city at the time such as the Nijo Castle, Imperial Palace, and major temples, as well as the walls (e.g., stone walls or tamped earthen walls) surrounding them were heavily damaged. Further, there were collapses of a number of Machiya, traditional Japanese residential architectural style incorporating workplaces of merchants and craftsmen, which caused many casualties. About 60% of the area of Kyoto city was occupied by such buildings housing merchants and craftsmen in those days. One major contributing factor of the collapses of Machiya is thought to be the rapid diffusion of pantile roofs in the 19th century.

In this paper, the authors describe remarkable thermo-activities especially at the fumaroles B on the southwestern cliff of the summit dome on Tarumae volcano, which unusually occurred soon after the Tokachi-oki erathquake that took place on Sep. 26 2003 (MJMA 8.0). The unusual thermoactivities include (1) increase in gas flux, (2) weak glow witnessed by the high-sensitive camera in the nighttime with positions moving night by night, and (3) ash ejection of about 24m^3. Since the high-sensitive cameras can detect thermal radiation, the observed glow would be evidence for high-temperature of rock surface. It is considered that the Tokachi-oki earthquake would affect the volcano to eject a large amount of high-temperature gas, which resulted in the weak but unusual glow and ash deposits of the order of 10m^3 in volume.

Many researchers have studied the three-dimensinal seismic velocity structure beneath the Kanto region, central Japan using seismic tomography, because the structure is very complicated due to subducting of the Pacific and the Philippine Sea plates beneath the Eurasian plate. The Tokyo metropolitan area is located in the Kanto region. Initially, the subducting Pacific and Philippine Sea plates are imaged with high-velocity zones. With many data, the oceanic crust at the uppermost part of the subducting Philippine Sea plate was imaged clearly. After construction of the NIED Hi-net, the oceanic ocrust of the Pacific plate subducting to depths over 100km was also imaged. A large low-velocity region at depths of 30-50km beneath the central Kanto region in the east-west direction was found by many researchers. The reason for the low-velocity is considered to be the existence of a serpentinied mantle wedge, curling Eurasian crust, and thick oceanic crust of the Philippine Sea plate. A low-velocity zone at depths of 40-70km beneath the eastern Kanto region with north-south direction was also found. The reason for this low-velocity is considered to be the existence of serpentinied mantle wedge and curling Philippine Sea plate. A high-density seismograph network, called MeSO-net, is under construction in this metropolitan region. The results with these data are expected to reveal a more detailed structure beneath the metropolitan area. We review former studies on the velocity structures beneath the Kanto region and note some characteristic structures beneath the Kanto region with results along arrays of MeSO-net.

We conducted permeability measurements of basalt sampled from an exhumed ancient fault zone in the Cretaceous Shimanto accretionary complex in Japan, in order to investigate permeability structure and evolution following shear failure. Permeability showed a strong reduction with increase in the effective confining pressure and temperature. Rapid sealing at elevated temperatures was observed during hold experiments following shear failure. The results indicate that the permeability of a subduction megathrust fault would rapidly decrease due to the precipitation of clay-like minerals and other minerals, and indicates the potential for high fluid pressure in fault zones.
