Preface: Mechanism of the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake and Recommendations for Disaster Prevention Projects

Author: Shigenori MARUYAMA (Professor Emeritus, Tokyo Institute of Technology)

The 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake was analysed as “occurring at the dawn of the trench birth period, when a trial and error process was underway to determine where a new trench would be born”, and the mechanism and future predictions are explained from a global perspective. He also cites undersea landslides as the cause of tsunamis, and warns of the scale of the disaster if a similar situation were to occur in the continental shelf area from the southern part of Toyama Bay to off Niigata, and proposes disaster prevention projects to prevent such disasters in advance.
