GIS技术在地震学研究中的应用

The geographic information system(GIS) is a strong and powerful tool to handle space information. Currently, the technique of GIS have been applied extensively in earthquake science, such as earthquake forecasts, earthquake disaster prediction and assist decision, earthquake region layout, and so on. This have been promoting the science level of the earthquake precaution and disaster reduction in our country greatly, and developed a new way to work for the earthquake precaution and disaster reduction in our country .
