The IISEE has started a project to determine the following earthquake information forrecent large (Mw>=7.2) earthquakes in the world by the analytical techniquesdeveloped by the IISEE staff members and visiting researchers.
- Centroid moment tensor (CMT)- Aftershock distribution and corresponding fault plane- Rupture process
We have also developed software to perform strong ground motion simulation forseismic bedrock using stochastic Green's function method.
Our earthquake information together with information issued by other someinstitutions is available at the followings:
