Abstract :
Geohazard Supersites have been founded to stimulate international and intergovenmental efforts to monitor and study geologically interesting sites by establishing a portal to, or ideally open-access to, relevant datasets. Integrating various geophysical data gives us deeper insights into the mechanics of earthquakes, volcano eruptions, and other geological hazards. Here I overview how the remote sensing data contributes to understand such geological hazards in the Japanese islands, one of the most earthquake- and volcanic eruption-prone regions, by combining with other geophysical datasets.
