Seismology Course and Earthquake Engineering Course The necessity of the training on seismology and earthquake engineering was emphasized at the 2 nd WCEE (World Conference on Earthquake Engineering) in 1960. Then, the training course (Seismology & Earthquake Engineering Courses) was held at Univ. of Tokyo and Waseda Univ. in 1960 and 1961. The 2nd Annual Training Courses Participants on Seismology and Earthquake Engineering (1961-1962)
Cooperation with MLIT and JICA In 1962, IISEE was established at BRI as the training organization. Courtesy visit to Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MLIT) (1982-83 course) Visit by President of Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to the training course
Tsunami Disaster Mitigation Course Gigantic tsunami generated by a major earthquake off Sumatra in 2004 wreaked havoc on the coastal areas of the Indian Ocean. In response, the Tsunami Disaster Mitigation Course was established in October Height of tsunami along the coastlines devastated following the earthquake off Sumatra in 2004 (simulation result) 2006. Study Trip
Master of Disaster Mitigation From 2005-2006 course, the curriculum of this course is approved as a master s degree program by National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS) and BRI. Master of Disaster Mitigation On September 2006, 19 participants became the first graduates under new system. Awarding of master s degree by Chief Executive of BRI
Global Seismological Observation Course The course commenced in 1995 one year before the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) was concluded in Disarmament Council at Geneva. The purpose is to train young people in order to obtain seismological knowledge and technologies for identification and detection of signals originated in underground nuclear tests. Lecture by Dr. Suarez, Director of IMS Study Trip to Hiroshima
The IISEE has conducted a research project entitled "Information Network on Earthquake Disaster Prevention Technologies" in 2000.4~2003.3. This project aimed at accumulating and diffusing valuable technical information in order to contribute to disaster prevention efforts in earthquake-vulnerable countries. This site is providing results of this three-year research project. The IISEE will keep improving this site by upgrading and expanding information database. URL http://iisee.kenken.go.jp

Seismic Network Based on country reports by the ex-participants, the Web site provides information on approximately 50 earthquake-prone countries about their seismic networks, seismic activity, tectonics, and micro-zonation. Example: COLOMBIA Seismic Network Seismic Activity Tectonics
Seismic Damage List of damaging earthquake and its characteristics Country report for earthquake damage Distribution of after shocks, fault mechanism, wave propagation analysis List of Damaging Earthquake Search Engine Source Rupture Process (Colima, Mexico Earthquake)
Seismic Design Force Design Spectrum Zone Factor Seismic Design Code Seismic design codes of approximately 45 developing countries. A summary of the Japanese Building Standard Law European code and ISO information. Example: MEXICO
Microzonation Microzonation project reports are reported from several countries focusing on their metropolitan areas. Seismic Intensity, liquefaction, building damage, etc. Example: IRAN Microzonation of Teheran Estimated Seismic Intensity
