Convener:*Takashi AZUMA(National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology), Nobuhiko Sugito(Faculty of Humanity and Environment, Hosei University), Satoshi Tonai(Department of Applied Science, Faculty of Scienece, Kochi University), Toshikazu Yoshioka(Active Fault and Earthquake Research Center, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology), Chair:Takashi AZUMA(National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology)

[SSS28-07] Predicted seismic moment based on the length of active fault

*Kunihiko SHIMAZAKI1 (1.University of Tokyo)

Keywords:seismic moment, active fault, seismic fault, prediction, hazard, tsunami

Seismic moment of future earthquake is possibly underestimated with the conventional use of active fault data. Often used empirical relationship is based on seismic fault data that is only available after the occurrence of the earthquake. Careful consideration on the choice of the relationship is desirable for avoiding damage beyond expectations.
