| General Description of the Research Project | In this project, we install the real-time networks of broadband seismometers, strong motion accelerometers, and seismic intensity meters to automatically estimate ground shaking and damage when an earthquake occurs in the Philippines. We also measure crustal deformations to evaluate the potential of large earthquakes in and around Mindanao. A real-time volcano monitoring systems will be installed at Taal and Mayon volcanoes. We provide earthquake and volcano disaster information through an Internet portal site, and promote its utilization in order to contribute to disaster preparedness of the national, local governments, and communities of the Philippines. |
