Outline of Final Research Achievements

Temporal variations in the electromagnetic (EM) field in association with earthquakes have been observed for several earthquakes. However, their generation mechanisms have not been identified quantitatively although some candidate mechanisms have been proposed. The condition(s) of occurring such phenomena have also poorly been understood.
In the present study, we have established a calculation scheme through which we can predict temporal variations in the EM field in association with earthquakes in a variety of situations. Also, we have installed some observation sites at which the EM field are continuously recorded, and successfully catch some EM signals in association with earthquakes, which will be analyzed to reveal underling mechanisms of the observed phenomena in the near future.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

地震が起きるとき、地表付近で電磁場の変動がこれまでに観測されている。しかし、この現象がなぜ生じるのか、どんなタイミングでどんな地震に対してどんな場所で生じるのかは明らかではなかった。本研究の成果として、この問題を解明する上での基礎となる計算方法が確立されるとともに、新たな観測によって地震時電磁場変動の事例が積み上げられた。電磁場変動は地震動よりも早く伝搬するという特性があるため、これ等の成果を応用することで、現在実用化されている緊急地震速報をさらに早く出せるようになるかもしれない。
