also Re: [DH Japan] upcoming talk - related Japan database, Earthquake History

[Guven Witteveen]

Seeing this upcoming event reminded me of the GIS-keyed chronology of Japan disasters from the year 400 into today's living memory:

It is the NIED database with earthquake chronology for Japan. Back in fall of 2016 the NIED, National Institute for Earth science and Disaster resilience (bosai kaken, for short, in Japanese) published their online disaster chronology for viewing by location, disaster type, and year of event. Labels are in Japanese with some English guidance here.
