Outline

This group conducts researches and developments on methods of geophysical exploration，visualization and imaglng to look into structures of the earth’s interior．It invents exploration techniques，develops systems composed of data acquisition，processing，and analysis to image specified targets．Moreover，it applies exploration methods to various geological targets，and carries out physical experiments of rock and soil samples，interpretations of imaging results with a multidisciplinary approach，and numerical simulation for understanding physical phenomena occurrlng in the earth．
