Outline of Chair
This chair carries out research and education on the clarification of mountainous materials, and on analysis of the history of mountainous area formation and environmental change recorded in the earth’s layers and rocks, including formation and erosion of mountainous areas and the related disasters and disaster prevention.
Research Fields
- Studies on mountain building processes
- Studies for the mechanism,prediction and mitigation of volcanic hazards and ground disasters.
- Study on active fault, earthquake source fault, strong motion, and earthquake disaster
- Study on structual geology and crustal movements of mountains
- Mineralogy, petrology and isotope geochemisry of crustal and mantle rocks
- Stratigraphic sequence analysis of paleoenvironmetal problems including sea-level and paleoclimate changes
- Micro Paleontological analysis of paleoenvironmental problems including sea-level and paleoclimate changes
- Studies on the histrical changes of earth surface process and environments recorded in the sedimets and sedimentary rocks.
- Research and education on reading the various indicators recorded in lake and marsh sediments, on revealing ancient environmental change in the surface layer of the earth, and on predicting future climate and environmental change.
- Clastic sedimentology and depositional processes of sedimentary structures and landforms
- Organic analytical chemistry of biogenic molecules mainly from recent lake sediments :
Application to researches on biological activities and their historical variations in the lake systems.
