Science View S2016E17 - Research Institutes in Tsukuba Science City Part 2: Protect Lives with Disaster Prevention Technology

The 2nd part of the team's Tsukuba Science City tour is focused on disaster prevention technology. They visit a research institute that plays a central role in studying earthquakes, volcanoes, and sudden downpours, and an organization that used a radio astronomy apparatus to develop an observation device that provides rainfall or tornado warnings at an early stage. Meanwhile, tsunami countermeasures are being developed at a research institute that specializes in agriculture.
