GC BRIEFING An Update from GC Analytics® May 2016 KUMAMOTO EARTHQUAKE In April of 2016, at mid-month, the world was once again reminded of the potential power of seismic activity by a series of earthquakes that hit Kumamoto prefecture on the southernmost island of Japan, as well as by the large shake that occurred half way around the world in Ecuador. In this briefing we summarize the basic facts regarding the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake, including a description of the event itself and the basic seismic background of the area. We also outline the major earthquake coverages provided by Japanese insurers, report on possible loss amounts and list some of the major affected facilities. 1 F-4 | DEPTH OF THE RYUKYU TRENCH AND DEPTH OF HISTORICAL EARTHQUAKES T-1 | EARTHQUAKE EVENTS IN JAPAN STANDARD F-5 | INDUSTRIAL PARKS AND CORPORATIONS IN KUMATOMO PREFECTURE F-1 | EVENTS OF MOMENT MAGNITUDE 6.0 AND LARGER UTC+09 Moment Depth in Epicenter F-3 | EARTHQUAKE INTENSITY BY LOCATION USING MODIFIED MERCALLI INTENSITY UTC+09 Moment Depth in Epicenter Intensity 7.5 Date Time Magnitudekilometers Latitude Longitude Date Time MagnitudekilometersLatitudeLongitude April 14, 2016 21:26:36 (UTC+09) Magnitude 6.2 April 16, 2016 01:25:06 (UTC+09) Magnitude 7.0 32.849oN 130.635oE Depth 10 kilometers 32.782oN 130.726oE Depth 10 kilometers Intensity 8.0 Apr-14 21:26 6.2 10.0 32.849 130.635 Apr-16 01:445.3 10.0 32.695 130.735 D Intensity 7.0 Apr-14 21:424.8 10.0 32.578 130.636 Apr-16 01:455.7 10.0 32.881 130.846 Intensity 8.5 Apr-14 22:075.4 10.0 32.788 130.835 Apr-16 02:044.6 11.7 32.757 130.742 Apr-14 22:224.8 10.0 32.683 130.646 Apr-16 02:494.5 12.2 33.203 131.321 M Apr-14 22:384.8 10.0 32.685 130.711 Apr-16 03:035.4 4.9 32.926 131.043 L Apr-14 22:434.5 10.0 32.704 130.696 Apr-16 03:164.6 18.6 33.086 130.836 J K B Apr-14 23:284.5 10.0 32.785 130.745 Apr-16 03:204.5 19.4 33.101 130.997 I Apr-14 23:294.6 10.0 32.752 130.726 Apr-16 03:264.5 10.0 32.870 130.918 A Aisin Kyushu Co.

    Groundwater Oxygen Isotope Anomaly Before the M6.6 Tottori Earthquake

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Groundwater oxygen isotope anomaly before the M6.6 Tottori earthquake in Southwest Japan Received: 13 December 2017 Satoki Onda1, Yuji Sano 1, Naoto Takahata 1, Takanori Kagoshima1, Toshihiro Miyajima1, Accepted: 8 March 2018 Tomo Shibata2, Daniele L. Pinti 3, Tefang Lan4, Nak Kyu Kim5, Minoru Kusakabe5 & Published: xx xx xxxx Yoshiro Nishio6 Geochemical monitoring of groundwater in seismically-active regions has been carried out since 1970s. Precursors were well documented, but often criticized for anecdotal or fragmentary signals, and for lacking a clear physico-chemical explanation for these anomalies. Here we report – as potential seismic precursor – oxygen isotopic ratio anomalies of +0.24‰ relative to the local background measured in groundwater, a few months before the Tottori earthquake (M 6.6) in Southwest Japan. Samples were deep groundwater located 5 km west of the epicenter, packed in bottles and distributed as drinking water between September 2015 and July 2017, a time frame which covers the pre- and post-event. Small but substantial increase of 0.07‰ was observed soon after the earthquake. Laboratory crushing experiments of aquifer rock aimed to simulating rock deformation under strain and tensile stresses were carried out. Measured helium degassing from the rock and 18O-shift suggest that the co-seismic oxygen anomalies are directly related to volumetric strain changes. The fndings provide a plausible physico- chemical basis to explain geochemical anomalies in water and may be useful in future earthquake prediction research. Hydro-geochemical precursors of major earthquakes have attracted the attention of researchers worldwide, because they are not entirely unexpected1,2.

    Disaster, Recovery, & Renewal: Lessons from Japan

    DISASTER, RECOVERY, & RENEWAL: LESSONS FROM JAPAN Students will be led by Dr. Michael Strausz and Dr. Wendy Williams. Explore Japan to learn first-hand about this resilient country and how it has rebuilt and renewed itself after numerous devastating natural and human-made disasters. Japan has faced a number of major disasters in the last 75 years, including earthquakes, tsunamis, the firebombing and nuclear bombing of its cities, and a nuclear meltdown. How has Japan recovered and renewed itself after these disasters, and, more broadly, what does “renewal” mean in the Japanese context? We will consider these questions as we visit sites in Japan including Kumamoto, Hiroshima, WHEN: Kyoto, Tokyo, and the Asian Rural Institute in Tochigi Prefecture. At the Asian Rural Institute, we will learn about Su M Tu W Th F Sa leadership in the global community from the institute’s 15 16 17 18 director, 2019 TCU Global Innovator, Tomoko Arakawa. In Tokyo, we will partner with a group of students from Meiji MAY 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 University to explore this vibrant city and learn about issues of recovery and renewal in Japan. Please join us on what 26 27 28 29 30 31 1 promises to be an amazing educational opportunity! TOKYO (5/15 -5/16 & 5/24-5/29) Tokyo is the capital of Japan. With 39 million residents, it is the most populous metropolitan area in the world. This bustling, high-energy city is beautiful, friendly, clean, and safe. KYOTO (5/20-5/21) Kyoto is the cultural and spiritual capital of Japan with many captivating temples and shrines.

Kiyoshi K0DA1RA** National Institute of Agro-Environmental Sciences, *ex-National Institute of Agro-Environmental Sciences, **Prof. Em. Ashikaga Institute of Technology A series of top-soil samples of 14 paddy fields and 10 upland fields in Japan, were annually collected during more than 30 years, to be examined in the contents of ,37Cs. The data, which were obtained by the use of a gamma spectrometric system, received some statistical treatments to distinguish the annual decline of 137Cs contents from deviations. Then the authors calculated "residence half-time of137Cs" within top-soil, and "eluviation rate of 137Cs" from top to the sub-layer of the soil. The following nationwide results were obtained irrespective of paddy or upland fields: (1) The "apparent residence half-time" was estimated as 16—-17 years. This one consists of both effects of eluviation and nuclear disintegration. (2) The "true residence half-time" was reported as 41~~42 years. This one depends on the eluviation speed of 137Cs exclusively, because the influence of nuclear disinte• gration has been compensated.

For illustration purposes, this map also shows geographical intermediate lines in waters in which borders with neighboring countries have yet to be demarcated. Despite ranking only 61st in the world in terms of land area (380,000 km2), Japan’s territorial waters and exclusive economic zone combined are 12 times larger (4,470,000 km2) than its land area. In December 1986, the Agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Japan on Maritime Search and Rescue (U.S.-Japan SAR Agreement) was concluded, under which Japan is responsible for coordinating search and rescue activities in the vast expanse of ocean that extends northward from 17° North and westward from 165° East.

Psathyropus tenuipes was found from the mouth of the river to the site 4 km upstream where slight salinity (0.1 PPT) was detected in the river. On the other hand, no specimens were found from the upstream sites where no salinity was detect- ed. This indicates that the species needs at least a slight salinity for its occurrence. Paraumbogrella pumilio was found at five sites from the dry riverbed near the Shobu floodgate to a site on the right bank of Sendai River just upstream of Yachiyo Bridge. Occurrence of this species seems to be related to presence of open ground covered with lower grasses on the banks. Recently, the both species were also found from the right bank of the river mouth of Sendai River that is also a part of Tottori Sand Dunes.
