Land Development and Conservation Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies coastal disaster prevention, erosion, and the environment of coasts and coastal zones through field observation and experiments.
AboutAbout the lab
Aiming for a nation where development and conservation are well balanced
The Land Development and Conservation Engineering Lab considers what a comfortable, safe, and secure coastal zone should look like, and studies coastal disaster prevention, coastal and offshore structures, coastal erosion, and the coastal environment and its use.
Its research uses field observation and surveys, experiments, and numerical simulation.
The lab is part of the Social Infrastructure Engineering field of the Division of Global Architecture, Graduate School of Engineering, and is presented on this site under the name “Coastal Lab.”
Key terms
- Natech
- Disasters at industrial facilities such as petroleum complexes that are triggered by natural hazards such as earthquakes and tsunamis
- Tsunami run-up height
- The height up a slope on land that a tsunami reaches after arriving on shore
- Submerged breakwater
- A structure installed below the sea surface

Under the name “Land Development and Conservation Engineering,” the Coastal Lab considers what a comfortable, safe, and secure coastal zone should look like. Its research is presented in four areas: coastal disaster prevention; coastal and offshore structures; coastal erosion and beach processes; and the coastal environment and coastal use.
*Illustrative imageCharacteristics of Waves During Storm Surges
The lab analyzes field data on waves that occur in enclosed bays during storm surges to clarify their characteristics.
*Illustrative imageReducing Disaster Risk at Industrial Facilities
The lab comprehensively examines ways to reduce the risk of disasters (Natech) at industrial facilities such as petroleum complexes that are triggered by earthquakes or tsunamis.
*Illustrative imageTsunami Forces on Energy Storage Facilities
Through experiments and numerical simulation, the lab clarifies the characteristics of the tsunami hydrodynamic force that acts on energy storage facilities, such as oil storage, when a tsunami reaches a coastal zone. It also examines ways to reduce that force.
*Illustrative imageReducing Tsunami Run-up Height with Submerged Structures
Using numerical simulation, the lab examines whether installing a submerged breakwater combined with a depression below the sea surface can lower tsunami run-up height in coastal zones.
