Yamano Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies environmental change and its relationship with people in coastal areas such as coral reefs.
AboutAbout the lab
Thinking about the future of Earth and humanity through coral reefs
The Yamano Lab studies coastal zones such as coral reefs, focusing on how global environmental change affects landforms, ecosystems, and human society.
The lab deals with global environmental change in the Holocene and the Anthropocene, assessing and predicting its impacts and exploring measures for adapting to the changes.
Its research methods are on-site field surveys and spatial data analysis.
The lab aims to understand the connections among the global environment, living organisms, and human society, and to conduct research that contributes to building a sustainable society.
Key terms
- Holocene
- The geological epoch from about 10,000 years ago, when the last glacial period ended, to the present
- Anthropocene
- A concept referring to an era in which human activities have come to change the Earth's environment significantly
- Ecosystem services
- The various benefits that humans receive from natural ecosystems, such as food and protection from disasters
ResearchResearch themes
The lab investigates how global environmental changes in the Holocene and the Anthropocene affect landforms, ecosystems, and human society in coastal areas such as coral reefs. Using field surveys and spatial data analysis, it studies the assessment and prediction of these impacts as well as adaptation measures.
*Illustrative imageFormation of Holocene Landforms
Using fossil corals and other clues, the lab carries out core drilling and outcrop observation to reconstruct Holocene sea-level change, crustal deformation, and the history of how landforms were formed.
*Illustrative imageRising Water Temperatures and Changes in Coastal Environments
The lab examines how coastal environments are changing under climate-change-driven rises in water temperature, by compiling past data and conducting monitoring. It works on clarifying the mechanisms, forecasting the future, and developing spatial planning for the conservation and sustainable use of ecosystems.
*Illustrative imageIntegrated Assessment of Environment, Society, and Ecosystems
The lab designs integrated assessment models to evaluate how human-driven environmental change, and the resulting changes in living organisms, feed back to human society through ecosystem services, and considers ways to address the problems that arise.
*Illustrative imageNature-Based Solutions to Social Problems
Drawing on ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction and the concept of green infrastructure, the lab examines the potential of green infrastructure in Japan and how conserving coral reefs can help maintain national land in island nations.
