In the Seismological Lab of Seoul National University, various researches are done through the analysis of observed seismic waveforms, in order to elucidate the mechanism of earthquake occurrences and seismic wave velocity structures of the earth’s interior. Especially, utilizing a set of portable seismographs and a high-power Linux computer cluster retained in the Lab, researches are focused on those with higher contribution to both the pure science and the society, such as observation and analysis of small- to micro-earthquakes, development of velocity models with fine structures, strong-motion simulations for reduction of earthquake hazards.
