Abstract of the 235th meeting of CCEP

  The 235th meeting of the Coordinating Committee for Earthquake Prediction (CCEP) was held at the Kanto Regional Survey Department of the GSI on May 16, 2022. And the meeting was onsite and online confference. Firstly, the nationwide monitoring data of the seismic activity and the crustal deformations were reported. Secondary, the CCEP members discussed the intensive discussion subject "Crustal activities of the Sea of Japan region off Northeast Japan" was explained. Finally, the purport of next intensive discussion subject "Application of optical fiber sensing technology to seismology and geodesy" was explained.
