Wishing a quick and complete recovery to the all victims of
the Noto Peninsula Earthquake in 2024.
At 16:10 on 1 January 2024, there was a magnitude 7.6 (preliminary) earthquake in the Noto region of Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan.
Many roads are reported to be sinking or collapsing. Rescue operations in the affected areas have been delayed because of these problems.
We wish our deepest sympathies to all people who are staying at home or in shelters in the cold winter days.
We also pray for you to rebuild the region with great strength.
2017 Giant Topography Model Production Project (scale 1/1000)
Cooperation: Senshu Elementary School, Yokohama City
Yokohama National University Masashi Morita Associate Professor
Associate Professor Yuichi Hayakawa, Hokkaido University
The University of Tokyo PhD Takuro Ogura
In 2017, the our first collaboration project was the Giant Terrain Modelling Project. The pupils made a topographic model of the area around Taya Cave, about 2 km square. 32 primary school pupils cut and stacked 1.5 mm thick styrene paper in line with contour lines. This model was used as a basic material for understanding the topographical environment around the Taya Cave and for the Yokohama National University's survey of regional qualities for community development.
