Abstract of the 145th meeting of CCEP

 The 145th meeting of the Coordinating Committee for Earthquake Prediction (CCEP) was held at the Kanto Regional Survey Department of the GSI on Nov. 19,2001. Universities and national research institutes reported and discussed the results of observations and investigations about seismic and crustal activities in Japan. Main topics of discussions are listed below.

• Seismic activities of Japan.
  • fig. 1 The earthquakes of M5 or greater in andnear Japan. (JMA)
• Seismic activities and the Crustal deformations of the Tokai district.
  • fig. 2 Seismic activities in the crust near the inferred locked zone of the Tokai earthquake since 1997. (JMA)
