Geomorphology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab explores how landforms change through weathering, erosion, and deposition.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how landforms change, from fundamentals to applications
The Geomorphology Lab studies landforms as they are changed by the processes of weathering, erosion, transport, and deposition, in both basic and applied research.
It is one of the fields within the Global Environmental Studies major in the College of Geoscience.
Each faculty member focuses on a different subject, such as alpine zones, mountain slopes, coasts and rivers, and soil erosion and deposition.
Main graduation research topics include the conditions under which shallow landslides occurred in the heavy rainfall in Hiroshima, the soil layer distribution in dolines of the Akiyoshidai karst, and the quantification of weathering on bare rock surfaces in the Swiss Alps.
Key terms
- Weathering
- The process by which rock breaks down into smaller pieces through the action of sunlight, water, temperature changes, and so on.
- Erosion
- The wearing away of the ground surface by the action of rain, rivers, waves, and so on.
- Slope failure
- A phenomenon in which soil or rock on a mountain or hill slope collapses and falls as a mass.
ResearchResearch themes
The Geomorphology Lab studies landforms as they are changed by the processes of weathering, erosion, transport, and deposition, in both basic and applied research. Each faculty member focuses on a different subject: alpine zones, mountain slopes, coasts and rivers, and soil.
*Illustrative imageLandform change and the water cycle in alpine zones
The lab studies landform changes in alpine zones in connection with variations in the water cycle.
*Illustrative imageSlope failure and erosion in mountains
The lab studies how landforms change in mountain areas, focusing in particular on slope failure and erosion.
*Illustrative imageGeomorphic processes on coasts and rivers
The lab investigates, through experiments, the processes by which landforms are formed on coasts and rivers.
*Illustrative imageSoil erosion and deposition and human activity
The lab investigates the processes by which soil is eroded and deposited, and the effects of human activity on them.
