Noto Peninsula Earthquake and Torrential Rainfall 2024 Disaster Survey Report Meeting (Organizer: Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Co-organizer: Kanazawa University)

Event Details

Kanazawa University has been coordinating research activities in cooperation with the Hydraulic Engineering Committee of the Japan Society of Civil Engineers as the secretary university of this research team regarding the landslides and flood disasters caused by the Noto Peninsula earthquake that occurred in January 2024 and the heavy rains on the Noto Peninsula in September 2024.

Kanazawa University will co-host a Disaster Survey Report Meeting organized by the Committee on Hydraulic Engineering of the Japan Society of Civil Engineers, where the investigation team will report on the disaster investigation and hold a general discussion. Perticipants will consider the impact of a large-scale earthquake on rivers and river basins, and the state of flood damage caused by heavy rain after landslides due to earthquakes and the mechanisms of its occurrence.

Kanazawa University is co-hosting the Disaster Survey Report Meeting by the "Noto Peninsula Earthquake and Heavy Rain Disaster River and Watershed Investigation Team," which was established under the Committee on Hydraulic Engineering of the Japan Society of Civil Engineers. Professor Kenji Taniguchi from the Institute of Science and Engineering, Faculty of Geosciences and Civil Engineering and Lecturer Takaaki Sakamoto from the Faculty of Regional Development Studies, Institute of Human and Social Sciences will give presentations.

We look forward to your participation!
