    Abstract The 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake, of moment magnitude (M w) 9.0, occurred on March 11, 2011, on the boundary between the Pacific and North America tectonic plates. The preliminary report of the magnitude announced by the Japan Meteorological Agency just after the earthquake was 7.9, which was considerably smaller than the final calculated Mw of 9.0. I used data from nine borehole strainmeters deployed by the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology to estimate a fault model with M w of 8.7 for the 2011 earthquake. This model was estimated using data recorded during the first 7 min after the origin time of the earthquake (5 min after the first P-wave arrival). To date, strainmeter data have rarely been used to derive earthquake fault models because observed strainmeter data often include noise caused by the local effect of earthquake shaking. My results indicate that strainmeter data can measure large changes of static strain that can be used to rapidly and precisely estimate earthquake fault models and moment magnitudes for great earthquakes and can provide an important and useful complement to analyses based on seismic waves

    自治体や住民に貢献する地震情報の構築とその伝達手法の開発を目的とする.そのためには,まず基礎となるデータベースの構築が必要となる.本報告は,鳥取県を対象とした地震防災に関する情報のデータベース化についての報告である.データベース化にはGISを利用した.基本的な地図情報,地震防災に関連する震源,地盤構造,地下水観測情報についての説明,地震発生の特徴について震源,地盤情報を用いた解析例を示す.Working with Tottori prefecture as a target area, we prepared a basic database ofinformation for earthquake disaster prevention. Using GIS software, we created adatabase of information for earthquake disaster prevention, which includes hypocenterand seismic wave data, geological data, geophysical exploration data, and hotspring andgroundwater data. We analyzed these data and tried to estimate several features of thetarget area to help reduce earthquake damage.自治体や住民に貢献する地震情報の構築とその伝達手法の開発を目的とする.そのためには,まず基礎となるデータベースの構築が必要となる.本報告は,鳥取県を対象とした地震防災に関する情報のデータベース化についての報告である.データベース化にはGISを利用した.基本的な地図情報,地震防災に関連する震源,地盤構造,地下水観測情報についての説明,地震発生の特徴について震源,地盤情報を用いた解析例を示す.Working with Tottori prefecture as a target area, we prepared a basic database ofinformation for earthquake disaster prevention.
