EcologyEarth and Planetary Dynamics (Earthquake and Volcano Research Center)*Chronology and Natural History (Museum / Institute for Space-Earth Environmental Research)*Ken Yoda / Kenichiro Sugitani / Akiko Shoji / Yusuke GotoThis course offers research and training in areas of adaptive evolution and ecosystem functions through fieldwork, aiming to acquire an ability to recognize and resolve environmental issues.・The group studies ecosystem management of rivers and oceans from the viewpoint of protecting biodiversity and its coexistence with human activities.・The group strives to uncover the function and mechanism of wildlife behaviors with the use of bio-logging. ・The group attempts to uncover the evolution of life and ecosystems in the Archaean era. The group also plans to engage in a full study of the material cycles of river ecosystems.Takeshi Sagiya / Toshiki Watanabe / Toshiko Terakawa / Keiichi Tadokoro / Chihiro Hashimoto / Takeo Ito / Yuta Maeda / Hiroshi IchiharaThe Japanese islands are located in a subduction zone. The massive interplate earthquakes, inland earthquakes, and volcanic activities experienced in this area represent the dynamic phenomena of the Earth’s interior. This laboratory is engaged in the analysis and prediction of crustal activities such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, based on the latest observational and theoretical studies. Education for students is provided by the staff members of the Earthquake and Volcano Research Center, enabling students to conduct research based on the abundant data obtained using the latest observation facilities and equipment. This laboratory also offers many opportunities for overseas research trips and field observation.Hidekazu Yoshida / Seiji Kadowaki / Hiroyuki Kitagawa / Masayo Minami / Kazuhiro Tsukada / Sachiko Nishida / Takenori Kato / Shin-ichi Fujiwara / Hirotaka OdaThe Earth today is a mirror that reflects both the results of various events that the Earth has experienced since its creation, and the various possibilities for the future. Our research group explores the Earth’s 4.6 billion-year history and various issues related to its future. We engage in various forms of chronological analysis, ranging from the targeting of natural samples such as rocks and fossils, through to specific items related to human activities, such as archeological materials and cultural assets, as well as the collection, examination, classification and storage of various natural history samples including rocks/minerals, animals, plants, fossils and archeological materials. Our research and education is based on field work.Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences
