Research:
I am studying about inhomogeneous structure of the crust of the earth based on seismic observation.
1. Tomography for velocity structure around high seismic activity area and volcanic one.
2. Reflected wave analysis to detect reflectors existing in the crust from records natural and artificial seismic sources.
3. Imaging of spatial and temporal scatterer distribution from dense seismic array observation.
4. Sesmitectonic study about Japan Islands through stress, strain, seismic activity investigation.

Research Interests

• Crustal dynamics in the seismogenic and volcanic area
  keyword : heterogeneous structure, Earthquake, Volcanic activity
  2000.04.

Current and Past Project

• A project carry out investigation about location, profile, and eveluation of strong motion for the Kego fault, Kyushu Island, Japan.
• Project Name : National Project for Earthquake Prediction
  Organizations : National universities national institutes.
  Outline of the project : The 5-years plan(1999-2003) is going,
  according to the recommendation of the Subdivision on Geodesy, the
  Council for Science and Technology, MEXT. The aims of the project are
  to improve earthquake monitoring, to promote research on crustal
  activity and mechanism of earthquakes and to obtain the ability of
  forecasting earthquakes.
• Project Name : National Project for Prediction of Volcanic Eruptions
  Organizations : National universities national institutes.
  Outline of the project : The 5-years plan(1999-2003) is going,
  according to the recommendation of the Subdivision on Geodesy, the
  Council for Science and Technology, MEXT. The aims of the project are
  to improve volcano monitoring, to promote research on volcanic
  activity and mechanism of volcanic eruptions and to obtain the
  ability of forecasting volcanic eruptions.
• Project Name : Unzen Scientific Drilling Project (USDP)
  Sponsor : MEXT, Japan.
  Co-sponsor(2003-2004) : International Continental Scientific Drilling Program.
  Cooperative Organizations : AIST, University of Tokyo, Kyushu
  University, Kyoto University, Hokkaido University, JAMSTEC, NIED,
  University of Alaska(USA), USGS(USA), GFZ(Germany), University of
  Bayreuth(Germany), etc.
  Outline of the project : This project is a comprehensive scientific
  research on Unzen Volcano with scientific drilling. The focus of
  scientific drilling is to clarify the regional crustal structure,
  magma evolution processes, the processes of conduit formation, magma
  degassing, and magma's interaction with groundwater.
