Whole Earth Dynamics Research Lab

 

Our target

We study solid Earth phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis. Based on fundamental principles, we unravel unknown dynamics and mechanisms that are recorded by Earth observation instruments such as satellites, land-based and submarine sensors.
