The IISEE has started a project to determine the following earthquake
information for recent large (Mw>=7.2) earthquakes in the world by the
analytical techniques developed by the IISEE staff members and visiting
researchers.
- Centroid moment tensor (CMT)
- Aftershock distribution and corresponding fault plane
- Rupture process
We have also developed software to perform strong ground motion
simulation for seismic bedrock using stochastic Green's function method.
Our earthquake information together with information issued by other
some institutions is available at the followings:

International Association for Earthquake Engineering (IAEE) issued
the"Regulations for Seismic Design-A World List 2008"and opened it on the
website of IAEE with the cooperation of IISEE. It covers the regulations
for seismic design of 65 countries or areas in the world. To access the
World List, please visit the website: http://www.iaee.or.jp/
