CURRENT RESEARCH:
Development of monitoring technology on the crustal activity using active seismic source. Elastic wave that propagate in the crust is potentially a powerful tool to get information of the stress stete of the medium and the coupling state of faults. We use artificial seismic source, ACROSS, to monitor them in the Tokai area.
