Physical Geography Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A physical geography lab that explores the landforms and environmental history of shallow seafloors such as coral reefs.
AboutAbout the lab
Tracing the history of landforms and environments, with the sea as the stage.
The Kan Lab, grounded in physical geography, studies the topography of shallow seafloors such as coral reefs, their formation history, and the history of environmental change.
The main study areas are the Ryukyu Islands (Okinawa and southern Kagoshima Prefecture), islands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and Australia.
With the sea as its theme, the lab carries out interdisciplinary research spanning the natural sciences to the humanities and social sciences, advancing a comprehensive understanding of the environment.
In the Faculty of Interdisciplinary Science and Innovation, the lab is in charge of project research in the Earth and Environment area and of practicum courses in environmental geography.
