Development of a Seismic Data Analysis System for a Short-term Training for Researchers from Developing Countries : Case of an Ecuadorian Volcano Researcher

We developed a seismic data analysis system using a personal computer with the Linux operating system. This system is easy to be set up and cost effective, and therefore is quite useful for earthquake and volcano researchers in developing countries. In this paper, we outline this system and its application to the training course organized by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) for an Ecuadorian volcano researcher. Our training course was very successful, resulting in that one of the authors was welcomed to Ecuador after that. From the experience during this visit, we underscore the importance of continuous cares of a trainee after a training course.＜論説
