Our institution, International Institute of Seismology and Earthquake Engineering (IISEE), mainly conducts three following one-year training courses named (S) Seismology Course, (E) Earthquake Engineering Course and (T) Tsunami Disaster Mitigation Course.

This booklet is a collection of abstracts of individual study reports from the trainees of the 2019-2020 course. Regarding the trainees from S course and T course, only trainees who have volunteered wrote their abstracts. Therefore, please kindly note that not all the abstracts are posted in this booklet.
