地震研究所（ERI）成立于1925年，自成立以来一直以促进对地震和火山爆发的科学研究，并开发减轻相关灾害的方法为目标。为了实现这一目标，约80名教职员工与ERI的其他工作人员就诸如日本和国外的地球物理观测基础，驱动地震和火山爆发的地球内部的结构和动力学，历史地震的科学和文献的多学科研究等主题进行了广泛的研究， 通过科学信息网络实时交付和分析大量地震数据，通过融合大数据和高性能计算进行地震灾害评估。

ERI的主要任务是促进固体地球的先进研究，以开拓一种更好地了解地震和火山活动的方法。这些理解将促进预测地震和火山爆发的系统研究，导致减轻地震和火山灾害的基础研究，以及对引起地震和火山现象的地球动力学的先进、多方面的研究。ERI提供了一个理想的环境，通过与地球与行星科学系、土木工程系和建筑系合作，研究生将有机会参与广泛的实地观察和实践研究。科学研究原则和目标是促进对固体地球的研究，并开创一种更好地了解地震和火山活动的方法。

收集长期、高精度的数据和发展观测技术对于促进扎实的地球科学至关重要。ERI与其他研究机构和研究人员合作，以应对长期研究的挑战。此外，作为一个国家研究机构，ERI试图通过促进对地震和火山的广泛研究以及开拓新的研究领域来揭示地球现象的新视角。研究所通过重大的长期实地观测，与国内外其他研究机构和研究人员合作，促进固体地球的研究。ERI作为国家研究机构，在促进和开展此类合作研究方面发挥着重要作用。

ERI通过在全球范围内促进地震和火山现象的研究，为提高东京大学的研究水平做出了贡献。在专注于地震和火山活动的同时，ERI还涉及学术研究的不同方面。ERI通过促进实地研究和现场实践研究，在毕业生的高质量水平中发挥着关键作用，教授地球和行星科学系地震学和火山学相关知识。此外ERI通过提供有助于减轻地震和火山爆发等自然灾害的研究成果来为社会做出贡献。

The Seismological Research Institute (ERI) was founded in 1925 and since its inception has been with the goal of promoting scientific research into earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and developing methods to mitigate related disasters. To achieve this, some 80 faculty members have conducted extensive research with other ERI staff on topics such as the basis of geophysical observations in Japan and abroad, the structure and dynamics of the Earth's interior that drive earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, the science of historical earthquakes and multidisciplinary studies of the literature, real-time delivery and analysis of massive seismic data through scientific information networks, Earthquake disaster assessment by integrating big data and high performance computing.

ERI's main mission is to promote advanced research on solid Earth to pioneer a better understanding of seismic and volcanic activity. These understandings will facilitate systematic research on the prediction of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, lead to basic research on the mitigation of earthquake and volcanic hazards, and advanced, multifaceted research on the geodynamics that cause earthquake and volcanic phenomena. The ERI provides an ideal environment to educate researchers who can lead on a global scale by partnering with the departments of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Civil Engineering and Architecture. Graduate students will have the opportunity to participate in extensive field observation and practical research.The principles and objectives of scientific research are to promote the study of the solid Earth and to pioneer a better understanding of seismic and volcanic activity.

The collection of long-term, high-precision data and the development of observational techniques are critical to promoting sound earth sciences. ERI collaborates with other research institutions and researchers to address the challenges of long-term research. In addition, as a national research institute, the ERI seeks to reveal new perspectives on terrestrial phenomena by promoting extensive research on earthquakes and volcanoes as well as pioneering new areas of research. The Institute promotes solid Earth research through significant long-term field observations, in collaboration with other research institutions and researchers at home and abroad. ERI, as the national research institute, plays an important role in promoting and conducting such collaborative research.

ERI has contributed to the advancement of research at the University of Tokyo by facilitating the study of seismic and volcanic phenomena on a global scale. While focusing on seismic and volcanic activity, ERI is also involved in different aspects of academic research. ERI plays a key role in the high quality level of graduates by promoting field research and field practical research, teaching the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences to teach related knowledge in seismology and volcanology. In addition, ERI contributes to society by providing research results that help mitigate natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
