Seismic waves contain a wealth of information about the heterogeneous structures of the Earth's interior and the sources that excite oscillation. Various approaches are required to appropriately interpret and utilise this information, including mathematical and numerical studies based on solid mechanics, fluid dynamics and wave theory, as well as experimental research using rock samples and analysis of observational data. Furthermore, recent advances in observation technology have made a large amount of high-quality data available, not only on seismic waves, but also on other wave phenomena, such as tsunamis and atmospheric pressure waves. A comprehensive understanding of these wave phenomena will open up new research fields related to the solid Earth. In this session, we will focus on seismology and geophysical exploration to deepen our understanding of various wave phenomena related to the solid Earth. This includes theoretical and experimental research based on wave theory, as well as quantitative research into the structure of the Earth's interior using observational data, and the verification of various natural and social phenomena that cause vibrations in the Earth.
To facilitate presentations by Japanese-speaking students, the session language will be "J". Presenters can choose to speak in either English or Japanese. However, presentation materials must be written in English (Japanese text is optional).
