Atsushi Higuchi, Professor
0 student voices
Higuchi Lab specializes in hydrology and satellite climatology, and studies the role of water in the Earth's environment. It analyzes data from a variety of Earth observation satellites in combination, aiming to understand how the climate works, including the effects of human activity. Because some phenomena cannot be captured by satellites alone, the lab sometimes makes observations in the field and works with researchers in numerical simulation. Because long data records are essential for detecting climate change, the lab also puts effort into archiving and releasing data from geostationary meteorological satellites.

Koji Kajiwara, Lecturer

The lab of Lecturer Kajiwara studies how to estimate vegetation biophysical variables over wide areas using observation data from optical sensors on satellites. For plants with large 3D structures, such as forests, the intensity of the observed reflected light changes in complex ways depending on the angles of the sun and the satellite and on the three-dimensional structure of the forest. The lab's research therefore centers on modeling the relationship between the 3D structure of trees and their reflectance characteristics, and linking that relationship to vegetation biophysical variables. The lab also uses laser scanning instruments to measure the three-dimensional structure of actual forests.
