| Research Abstract |
Many prefectures in western Japan are under the threat of gigantic tsunamis and earthquakes along the Nankai Trough within the first half of twenty-first century. I found out relation between earthquake magnitude and tsunami height and was clarified why tsunamis due to a bigger magnitude eq. become much higher locally. Also, I suggested tsunami disaster reduction considering locality and long-term effect of countermeasures.
