Emeritus Professor R. H. Sibson will give an intensive lecture as follows.
Pro.Sibson is a leading geologist representing the world and has pioneered results on the fault rock and its depth change, the stress acting on the fault and pore pressure, the relationship between these and the earthquake occurrence. For example, the relationship between earthquake occurrence and water has recently gotten a lot of attention, but Pr. Sibson is vigorously researched from the mid-1970s.
We asked for a one-week continuous lecture at the disaster prevention research institute.
We welcome participation of interested people.

Speaker：　Emeritus Professor SR.H. Sibson （Otago University）
