Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Graduate School of Science and Engineering
- 1.Geophysical observation of the Earth and planetary interiors, and theoretical and experimental studies of geophysical phenomena, such as earthquake and volcanic activities.
- 2.Geophysical observation, field-survey and laboratory experiments to elucidate the evolution of the Earth and planetary environment including continents, the atmosphere and the oceans.
- 3.Theoretical and cosmo-chemical studies on the evolution of the solar system over 4.6 billion years.
- 4.Comparative planetary and solar system studies with space and planetary probes.
The goal of the Department is to educate far-sighted self-starting researchers
