Forest Conservation Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies forests and sediment disasters from the perspective of disaster prevention and mitigation.
AboutAbout the lab
Solving problems caused by the movement of sediment, water, and trees.
The Forest Conservation Lab conducts research and education that helps solve disasters and problems caused by the movement of sediment, water, and trees.
The lab studies the water and soil conservation functions of forests from the perspective of disaster countermeasures.
It also works on developing methods that predict the movement of floods and sediment through numerical computation, and on methods that control them with structures such as sabo dams.
Key terms
- Water and soil conservation function
- The role of forests in protecting water and soil by influencing the movement of water and sediment.
- Sabo dam
- A structure built to control the movement of floods and sediment.
- Numerical computation
- A method of expressing a phenomenon in mathematical equations and predicting results by calculating them on a computer.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab's research rests on two pillars: evaluating the disaster prevention and mitigation functions of forests, and predicting and controlling the movement of floods and sediment. From the perspective of disaster countermeasures, it studies how changes in rainfall and forests caused by climate change affect the movement of sediment.
