With detrital heavy minerals (i.e., garnets, spinels, amphiboles) contained in sedimentary rocks, we research provenance of these minerals and tectonics.Chemical analyses of detrital heavy minerals and tectonicsBy investigating the sediments distributed in and around volcanoes, we research what kind of eruptions occurred in the past. We also research the current activities of volcanoes by observing the conditions in craters.Investigating volcanoesYasuyuki Miyake, ProfessorVolcanic Geology and Volcanic Disaster PreventionInvestigate the past activity history of active volcanoes in Nagano Prefecture and estimate the type and time of activities in the futureKuniaki Makino, ProfessorMineralogy and X-ray Spectroscopic AnalysisResearch on crystal structures, cause of color and mineral textures, and formation process for amphiboles, feldspars, volcanic glass, etc.Kohki Yoshida, Associate ProfessorFormation Theories of Sediments and Sedimentary RocksEnvironmental analyses of sedimentary rock formation through geological fieldwork and discussionsKatsura Yamada, Associate ProfessorPaleontology and Paleoenvironemental AnalysisResearch on past global climate and sea-level changes by investigating fossilsTakeshi Saito, Associate ProfessorVolcanology and Magnetic PetrologyResearch on crystalization of magnetic minerals and volcano eruption processes in magnetic petrological methodologiesTsutomu Otsuka, ProfessorStructural Geology, Active Fault Geology, and Accretionary Wedge GeologyResearch related to active faults, accretionary wedge formation, regional geological formation, and geological disasters based on structural geologyKoichi Hoyanagi, ProfessorSedimentary Geology and Geoenvironmental Change HistoryResearch on sea-level and climate changes, tsunami and flood deposits, and sedimentary systems in island arcsTetsuya Tokiwa, Assistant ProfessorAccretionary Complexes, Structural Geology, Engineering GeologyStudy on accretion tectonics by using structural analysis of deformed rocks.Toshiro Morikiyo, ProfessorGeochemistry and PetrologyResearch on carbonate and phosphatic rocks formed during early diagenesisSatoru Harayama, ProfessorGeology and Mountain and Environmental ScienceResearch on causes and mechanism of mountain range formationDEPARTMENTOFGEOSPHEREANDBIOSPHERESCIENCESDepartment of Geosphere and Biosphere Sciences (Geology)FacultyNissaku, Chiyoda, J-POWER, Chi-Ken Sogo Consultants, Mitsui Knowledge Industry, Sogo Geophysical Exploration, Nihonsougou Kensetsu, Yachiyo Engineering, Rigaku, Nippon Koei, OYO, Graphic, Chuo Kaihatsu, Toda Corporation, Taiheiyo Cement, Mitsui Oil Exploration, Toho Girls' Junior and Senior High School, Nagano Prefectural Matsukawa High School, Inuyama City Nanbu Junior High school, Tsuchiura City Office, Niigata Prefectural Police Department, Nagano Prefectural Board of Education, Otawara City Office, Azumino City Office, Foundation for Promotion of Material Science and Technology of Japan, Iwate Geopark Promotion CouncilFossils brought forth from strata are the clues to learn about the Earth's environment in the past. Interpreting information from fossils, especially, we research climate change and oceanic environment.Investigating the Earth's past environmentMASTER’S PROGRAM OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 14 DEPARTMENTS014Investigating the past and present of the Earth for planning disaster risk reduction and environmental preservationBy researching and studying strata and rocks in which the past has been recorded, we think of the future of the Earth and contribute to people's peaceful lives through disaster management regarding earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and in resource securement that goes along with environmental preservation.NozomiHatanoStarted in 2013 / Dr. Yoshida's LabIn research in my major geological field, we can make new findings only through observations of rocks and strata in the field. In our department, I have many colleagues with whom I can talk about the actual rocks and strata in front of us, as well as teachers who give us tips on petrological and stratigraphical observation thanks to their wide range of knowledge and their experience. This department offers us an environment in which we can collect opinions of students and teachers from other majors in fieldwork, so we can research in a wider range in the geological field.RecentCareerPaths
