Geology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A geology lab that reads Earth's history from rocks of Antarctica and Asia and also analyzes buried cultural properties.
AboutAbout the lab
Reading Earth's changes from the record in rocks.
Assistant Professor Tatsuro Adachi mainly studies the geology of the Antarctic continent, working to clarify how continents form and grow and what changes occur where continents collide.
The lab also conducts research that quantitatively analyzes archaeological artifacts using X-ray analytical instruments and mass spectrometers to clarify their characteristics as materials.
Geology is described as a broad field, ranging from fieldwork to analysis based on physics, chemistry, and biology, where many different types of people can thrive.
Key terms
- Gondwana supercontinent
- One of the supercontinents that existed in Earth's past. The lab studies the geology of East Antarctica to clarify how it formed
- Metamorphic petrology
- A field that studies rocks whose properties have been changed by heat and pressure (metamorphic rocks) to clarify their origin and history
- Isotope
- Atoms of the same element with different masses. Measuring their ratios reveals the characteristics and origin of metals and rocks
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the geology of the Antarctic continent and central Asia, aiming to clarify how continents formed and have grown. It also works on identifying the provenance of buried cultural properties and establishing analytical methods for metal artifacts.
*Illustrative imageGeological history of East Antarctica and the Gondwana supercontinent
The lab studies the geological history of Dronning Maud Land in East Antarctica, aiming to clarify how the Gondwana supercontinent formed. It uses methods from metamorphic petrology and geochronology.
*Illustrative imageTracing the provenance of buried cultural properties
This research subjects buried cultural properties to high-precision isotopic and elemental analysis to clarify the provenance of their materials. Provenance is estimated using high-precision instrumental analysis.
*Illustrative imageDeveloping analytical methods for metal artifacts
The lab works on establishing analytical methods for examining trace elements and isotopes contained in metal artifacts, with a focus on iron isotopes and platinum group elements.
*Illustrative imageClarifying continental collision in Central Asia
The lab works to clarify collisional tectonics in the large orogenic belts of central Asia. It studies the collision zones of Central Asia using methods from metamorphic petrology, geochronology, and geology.
