Abstract

Even from the micro- to small earthquakes activity in the global earth, the prediction of the large to giant earthquakes may be very difficult because of their rare occurrence. However, the general relationships between the seismically active regions and the correlated seismicity are possibly potential indicator for the bifurcation to the large and giant earthquake trends, though they are different with every region.

The author very thanks to Data Center of Earthquake Research Institute of University of Tokyo for helpful use of cloud application of TSEIS and database of JMA-1. He also thanks much to National Institute of Earthquake Disaster for helpful use of earthquake database.

The author is also very indebted to Professor Yoshiyuki Kaneda of University of Kagawa  and Dr. Tatsu Kuwatani of JAMSTEC for many critical discussions and continuous supports for this research. They also give the author many comments of next generation of geophysical researches and their social missions in the near future. He sincerely thanks Prof. H. Sugioka of Kobe University for providing the map of recent large earthquakes in the world.

He is also very grad to Japan Agency of Marine Science and Technology for many supports on writing this book.

Finally, I am deeply indebted to Etsuko Toriumi for many supports and discussions on social efficiency of earthquake disaster and Drs. Taeko Sato, Yosuke Nishida, Gowtham Chakravarthy and Arulmurugan Venkatasalam of Nature-Springer Publisher for many encouragement and comments.
