Japan Geological Survey

The Japan Geological Survey, part of the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan, conducts detailed research on Japan’s land and Earth sciences. It maps the country's geology, including rocks, minerals, faults, and earthquake-prone areas, to understand natural hazards and support land use planning. The survey provides valuable data for disaster prevention, resource management, and environmental protection. Its work involves field investigations, data analysis, and creating detailed geological maps, helping to improve safety and sustainable development across Japan.
