Research projects in my group involve applying the naturally occurring, soil erosion, study on slope failure hazard. We integrate data-gathering and modeling to investigate "natural" states of environmental and biological systems and to learn about how these systems change in response to perturbation. Please have a look at the Student Opportunities page for information on graduate study opportunities in our group. Apply to get involved in the active, dynamic Earth Sciences research community here at Tsukuba!

IAEA Technical Reports Series No. 486「Guidelines on Soil and Vegetation Sampling for Radiological Monitoring」has been published.
Director Onda, Dr. Kato, and Dr. Takahashi were partially contributing authors.
This work describes soil and vegetation sampling in terrestrial ecosystems, including agricultural lands, forests, and urban areas, contaminated by radionuclides released by radiation accidents and nuclear activities.
Methods and programs for both emergency and already exposed conditions are addressed. Practical advice is provided on the design and implementation of soil and vegetation sampling programs in the framework of environmental monitoring.
In addition, examples of best practices are provided for determining sampling methods optimized for different exposure situations, based on experience and lessons learned from past and existing program implementation.
