Earthquake and Tsunami Hazards around the Pacific Rim APRU Research Symposium at Kyoto University Kojiro Irikura Vice President of Kyoto University

Earthquake and Tsunami Hazards around the Pacific Rim This APRU Symposium will bring together researchers from a broad range of science and engineering fields related to earthquake and tsunami hazards around the Pacific Rim. The purpose of the meeting is to share information on the current state of knowledge and discuss priorities for future work that will contribute to mitigating losses from future large earthquakes

Magnitude 9.0 Sumatra-Andaman Islands Earthquake After the web-site of British Geological Survey (2005) The arrows show the vectors of the plate motions.

Tsunami simulation by Kenji Satake, Geol. Survey of Japan Special Focus on the devastating Sumatra earthquake and tsunami (>280,000 casualties)

California Japan Taiwan New Zealand Practically every city near the member universities has some level of earthquake risk. Red dots are earthquakes. The ‘Ring of Fire’ surrounds the Pacific Rim

There are a growing large number of mega-population centers around the Pacific rim that are prone to large earthquake and tsunami disasters, such as, Los Angeles Seattle Tokyo Osaka Taipei Damage from 1994 Northridge Earthquake

Earthquake engineering standards have certainly improved over the last few decades, but because of growing populations, the yearly worldwide earthquake damage has not diminished greatly. Devastating fires following 1995 earthquake in Kobe, Japan Collapsed 7 story building in 1999 Chi-Chi, Taiwan earthquake

This is a very timely subject since many countries are actively involved in national seismic hazard programs, and comparisons on a worldwide basis would be useful.
