OBSERVER FROM OUTER SPACEOur mission

Our mission

Our lab's mission is to develop the methodology tomeasure and evaluate the environmental changes ofcity, agricultural and forested area focused onhuman activities in global scale. Those researches
are carried out under international collaboration andthe derived systems are implemented and transferredto operational schemes.

Our policy on education is as follows;
1) Development of human resources who have both
exibility and strength as bamboo to survive our life.
2) Development of human resources who serve forinternational activities and social contribution with along-term perspective and a bird's-eye view.
3) Development of human resources who can value
the information obtained through the ve senses, tocapture the subtleties of emotion and intelligence.

Research
Our laboratory’s research is on global land coverand land use change, global carbon cycling,
management and policy for terrestrial ecosystems
using remote sensing and GIS technologies.
Our policy is to develop our own algorithm,
implement on code as a package to build up a dataprocessing system towards a solution oriented
science and technology. We keep a balance between
science and technology for a long term contribution
to the society.

Our laboratory is located in the Komaba research
campus surrounded by a quiet residential areawith international lodges for students andresearchers. It provides an easy access to downtownof Tokyo, government of ces, sightseeing
attractions, dining and drinks as well as a richnatural environment to enjoy four seasons, spring,summer, autumn and winter of Japan. This is oneof the best place to study and do your research witha lot of scienti c inspirations and comfortable life.

Remote sensing of Environment and disaster (RSED)The recent research topics are shown as follows;-Mapping of rice production and alternate dry andwet (AWD) to reduce carbon emissions-Estimate CH4 emission from natural permafrost
wetland in climate change era-Estimation of CO2 budget from tropical peatlands
with wild res and droughts-Detection and Calculation of Peatland Subsidencein Indonesia by using Interferometric Synthetic
Aperture Radar (InSAR)-Evaluating air pollution for better quality of life inAsia and its relation to socio-economic activities-Static and dynamic monitoring of human activities
in urban areas using VIIRS day-night band
-Assessment of photo voltaic (PV) power potential
over Asia Paci c region with remote sensing

Lab seminar is scheduled on a weekly-basis toprovide students and staffs to present their research
progress, hands-on training for a data processing
and in-situ measurements to follow up a cutting edge
technologies in our research eld.
Those who would like to join our laboratory to study
as a student is requested to pass the examination
under the graduate school of civil engineering(CIVIL) or advanced interdisciplinary study (AIS)
or international program on environmental sciences(GPES). Further details for admission and funding
