Innovations in Water Use and Environmental Management
水利用と環境管理における革新

Our focuses are 1) environmental photochemistry (inc. photocatalysis), 2) biogeochemical and ecosystem modeling, and 3) ecosystem service. We develop new methods and concepts based on deep understanding, and utilize them for management of water use and water environment as the basis of shifting societies.
研究テーマは 1)環境光化学(光触媒)、2)環境中の物質動態と生態系のモデリング、3)生態系サービス。深い理解に基づき新しい手法や概念を開発し、移り変わる社会の基盤となる水利用や水環境の管理に役立てます。

Our Target / 研究室の概要

We are an active research group, initiated in 2009, focusing water-related issues. Our major research targets are
1) to enhance scientific understanding of aquatic ecosystems and water environments,
2) to develop the updated understanding to solid concepts and tools for environmental assessment and management, and
3) to work with societies for water environment conservation and management.

To this end, we are working in an open, active and supportive team. Thus, we are grateful for any scientific exchange and any contact to apply for the team member.
