Wishing a quick and complete recovery to the all victims of
the Noto Peninsula Earthquake in 2024.
At 16:10 on 1 January 2024, there was a magnitude 7.6 (preliminary) earthquake in the Noto region of Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan.
Many roads are reported to be sinking or collapsing. Rescue operations in the affected areas have been delayed because of these problems.
We wish our deepest sympathies to all people who are staying at home or in shelters in the cold winter days.
We also pray for you to rebuild the region with great strength.
2018 Taya Cave Sliced Cross-Section Layer Modeling Project (Scale 1/50)
Cooperation: Senshu Elementary School, Yokohama City
Yokohama National University Masashi Morita Associate Professor
Associate Professor Yuichi Hayakawa, Hokkaido University
Chiaki Oguchi, Associate Professor, Saitama University
The University of Tokyo PhD Takuro Ogura
In 2017, the 6th graders created a model by horizontally layering styrene paper. In 2018, the 6th graders challenged to create a cross-sectional model of a cave, which is stacked in a vertical slice. Associate Prof. Hayakawa of Hokkaido University supplied laser scan data of the whole cave sliced into sections of 60 cm each, and the 6th graders made a sliced cross-sectional model of the whole cave.
This " sliced-section model of the cave" makes possible the clarification of the height and positional relationship within the cave, which had not been clarified before, and provides useful model data for future cave preservation.
