Purpose of establishment：

Research and tests on disaster prevention science and technology
Common use of facilities necessary for research and tests on
disaster prevention science and technology
Training of researchers and engineers

Business overview：

The NIED was founded as the National Research Center for
Disaster Prevention (NRCDP) in 1963, and was reorganized
and renamed to the National Reserch Institute for Earth
Science and Disaster Prevention (NIED) in 1990, adapting
a new research strategy from the view point of the earth
system science. Now the NIED has a wide range of subjects
from the fundamental researches, including prediction and
forecast, to the control of the natural phenomena, and is
conducting a various field of researches such as global
climate changes, plate tectonics, rain and snowfalls
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, snow avalanches
new sensors, data processing and analysis technologies, and
so on.
