Profile

I received my Ph.D in Science from University of Tsukuba for research on soil erosion on unmanaged forest. Currently, my research focuses on the radiocesium wash-off associated with sediment dynamics.

Main Focus of Research

  • Cs-137 wash-off from slope
  • Cs-137 wash-off from river basin
  • Cs-137 behavior in closed water system

Fields of Research

Hydrogeomorphology

Keywords

Sediment dynamics, Cs-137

Research Overview

I learned a part of sediment dynamics through researches on soil erosion processes in unmanaged Japanese cypress plantations during my doctoral course. After the doctorate, I experienced hydrological researches, such as snowmelt runoff observation and measurements of stable isotopes of water in a project focusing on environmental change on mountainous area. Since 2013, I have studied Cs-137 wash-off associated with sediment dynamics in Fukushima.

A few words

Interdisciplinary approaches are required for understanding Cs-137 dynamics in terrestrial environment. I will open my mind to adsorb knowledge in various academic disciplines and to address the challenge.
