Center for Environmental Remote Sensing, Chiba University
ProfessorI am actively advancing research on global atmospheric environmental change based on the world-leading remote sensing technology and data of Chiba University. My focus is on studying various emerging phenomena that pose significant challenges in terms of prediction. I aim to output highly accurate and precise scientific findings, mitigate factors that jeopardize the sustainability of humanity, and realize a safe and secure global environment.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Is the atmospheric environment, including atmospheric composition (substances) and meteorology, experiencing improvement or degradation?
Motto in Research or in Life: Seeing is believing. Science is based on facts.
Hobby / Holiday: Playing football and futsal. I also serve as a youth football head coach.
Center for Environmental Remote Sensing, Chiba University
ProfessorI am conducting research to examine environmental changes occurring on the Earth’s land surface, particularly in vegetation, in response to climate change. My research involves utilizing data from Earth observation satellites and conducting computer simulations to understand the absorption and emission of greenhouse gases, such as CO2.
Recent Topics of Interest:
・Utilizing the global network of geostationary meteorological satellites, including Himawari, to monitor land surface dynamics at high frequencies, such as every 10 minutes.
・Leveraging various Earth observation datasets treated as big data and employing technologies like artificial intelligence to extract environmental variations on the Earth’s surface.
・Enhancing our understanding and forecasting abilities of Earth system processes through refinement of models using various Earth observation datasets.
Motto in Research or in Life: Let’s give it a try.
Hobby / Holiday:
I thoroughly enjoy staying active, and one of my favorite activities is inline skating. I often skate along riverbanks, covering distances of approximately 20 kilometers. Exploring the vibrant city center of Tokyo on skates is a future adventure I eagerly anticipate. Furthermore, I find immense joy and solace in the presence of my pet java sparrow at home, as its delightful nature always brings me comfort and happiness.
Institute for Advanced Academic Research / Center for Environmental Remote Sensing, Chiba University
Professor My laboratory is pursuing environmental prediction research, with a focus on various Earth environmental phenomena such as meteorological and hydrological events. I strive to advance the boundaries of this field by integrating Earth observation satellites and employing diverse prediction methods. Specifically, I am committed to enhancing and refining weather forecasts for extended periods of several weeks, and gaining a comprehensive understanding of the long-term impact of climate change on the water resource environment over a century.
To achieve my prediction refinement goals, I employ numerical simulations powered by state-of-the-art supercomputers and harness the potential of machine learning techniques. I will facilitate the fusion of forecast and observation data through statistical mathematics, including data assimilation. My ambition is to pioneer a groundbreaking environmental prediction science by conducting interdisciplinary research that spans earth science, computational science, and statistical mathematics.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Seasonal forecasting, Weather control, Social consensus building, and Optimization of observation location
Motto in Research or in Life:
The good is the enemy of the best.
Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must flow. To convince them, you must yourself, believe.
Hobby / Holiday:
Reading books, Observing behaviors and activities of my son
