Our missions

  Our missions are to provide reliable and impartial geoinformation for the public in close coordination with the geoscience research divisions, public relations, and Geological Museum in the Geological Survey of Japan (hereafter GSJ), located inside the National Institute for Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (hereafter AIST).

  We place integrating the newest knowledge systematically with the geoscience data that we have gathered over the years, and informing the public with even more reliable data our highest priorities. We are working hard to improve the convenience of using the geoscience data as public property which is to be used more effectively for the measures against earthquakes, volcano-related disasters and environmental issues, and for better utilization of the national land and acquiring of natural resources.

  We will continue to make efforts to be the trusted institution for the Japanese public and the society by providing the geoscientific intelligence infrastructure and resources that they need to solve various problems.
