AboutAbout the lab
Understanding the human environment through differences in living environments
The Regional Geography Lab studies human environment systems from a regional perspective, focusing on differences in living environments such as urban areas and humid tropical regions.
It is one of the fields within the Global Environmental Studies major in the College of Geoscience, School of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Tsukuba.
The faculty's research topics include tourist regions, Australian studies and urban geography, Indigenous peoples' rights, and urban water environment issues.
In the Global Environmental Studies major, students investigate the global environment through fieldwork, such as interviews and land-use surveys, and through data analysis.
