Our project "Integrated Predictive Simulation System for Earthquake
and Tsunami Disaster" has started in 2005 as one of the CREST-type
projects funded by JST. The project aims to develop an integrated
simulation system for predicting earthquake and tsunami disasters in
Japan. In the first phase (2005-2008), we developed three subsystems
for earthquake generation, strong ground motion/tsunami and building
oscillation, and tested their validity and applicability through the
comparison of simulation results with observations. In the second
phase (2008-2011), we integrate these three subsystems into a unified
total system, and make simulations for predicting earthquake and
tsunami disasters in realistic scenarios.
