INTRODUCTION<\/b><\/p>\n

The Geographical Survey Institute, which comes under the Ministry of Construction, Government of Japan, is a central organization of surveying and mapping and conducts the establishment of geodetic control network and production of national basic maps.<\/p>\n

The Crustal Dynamics, Topographic and Geographic Departments are engaged in several kinds of works related to the prediction of Volcanic eruption.<\/p>\n

The Crustal Dynamics Department is in charge of the geodetic work, while the Topographic and Geographic Departments are responsible for the production of basic and land use maps of volcanoes.<\/p>\n

Observations and researches of volcanoes in the GSI are conducted under the 4th Project of the Prediction of Volcanic Eruption endorsed by the Geodesy Council in July, 1988.<\/p>\n

Their details are as follows:<\/p>\n

1. 12 volcanoes designated as “Active volcanoes which should be intensively observed and investigated”:<\/p>\n

\n

Geodetic surveys such as levellings, distance measurements, gravity and GPS surveys in Izu-Oshima and other volcanoes. Measurements of the distribution of surface temperature (if necessary).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

2. 23 volcanoes designated as “Active volcanoes and volcanoes which have potential to explode”:<\/p>\n

\n

Geodetic surveys, including GPS survey, and measurements of the distribution of surface temperature in volcanoes suspected of eruption.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

3. Other volcanoes:<\/p>\n

\n

Surveillance by emergency survey team.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

4. Production of topographic maps and others:<\/p>\n

\n

Volcano basic maps of Unzen and other volcanoes and volcano land use map of Sakurajima volcano have already been produced as the basic data for the prediction of volcanic eruption.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
