Development of a database and visualization system integrating various models of seismic velocity structure and subducting plate geometry around Japan

Abstract To estimate strong ground motions caused by future earthquakes in Japan and to more accurately predict seismic hazards and tsunamis, it is necessary to accurately model the geometry of the subducting plate and the seismic velocity structure around Japan, particularly in offshore areas. Alth...
