Research interests

The major goal of my research is to contribute to the development of environmental technologies and ecosystem conservation through interdisciplinary and issue-oriented approaches. I have been conducting two studies mainly for developing marine environmental technologies and conserving coastal ecosystems focused on the linkage between forest, river and sea. At first, a seaweed bed restoration method using iron fertilizer has been developed. The lack of iron in coastal area was focused as a factor for depleting seaweed beds, so-called “barren ground.” The effectiveness of this method was confirmed as results of fundamental studies and a field test in Hokkaido. Meanwhile, I have evaluated material dynamics, such as iron, nitrogen and phosphorus, in the coastal areas and river basins for understanding the forest-river-sea linkage. I have focused on the influence of land use on estuarine environments in recent years.

In addition, I have engaged in interdisciplinary education in environmental and ocean related fields for developing human resources. I have been in charge of domestic and overseas internship programs in recent years. Graduate students have been sent to the international organizations in the overseas internship program. I evaluated educational effects of domestic and overseas internships on establishment of students’ career paths.

Study example for understanding the forest-river-sea linkage

  1. Influence of rice paddy fields on iron dynamics in rivers and the structural features of humic acids in their sediments of the northwest of Hokkaido, Japan
  2. Potential influence of oceanic environmental change on seaweed bed distribution in Tsushima Islands
  3. Influence of freshwater from terrestrial sources on iron concentrations in Kesennuma Bay, Japan
  4. Dynamics of iron in the Chikugo River Basin
  5. Changes in the coastal environment in Kamaishi Bay after the Great East Japan Earthquake
  6. Educational effect of internship for human resource development
