The Japan Earthquake was the largest earthquake that hit the western Pacific region in modern time. The earthquake and tsunami have devastated Japan’s northeastern coastal cities and villages and, for the first time, a nuclear meltdown crisis was triggered by an earthquake. There is a great demand on information on various aspects of the earthquake. The two seminars aim to present a more detailed examination of the event and the following questions:
