In this course, aiming for the creation and conservation of a rich environment, we use advanced scientific and engineering methods to solve issues regarding the environment and agricultural and fishery industries, with the goal of contributing to regional development with a global perspective. (ⅰ) the measurement, control, (ⅱ) environmental information, with information processing technology at its core, and building on a foundation of knowledge related to bioecology. (ⅲ) create a rich, safe, secure regional environment for rural regions. (ⅳ) the natural environment and human society, as well as environmental conservation technology. In addition, we provide research and education to develop people who can contribute to the growth of sustainable societies that are rooted in the region.
Laboratories
Environment Oriented Information and System Engineering
This course teaches and conducts research on measurements and control of environmental information based on information technology and systems engineering as a method of study in addition to biological and ecological knowledge, in order to maintain the coexistence between humans and other living creatures, and to insure a sustainable development of the mankind. In other words, this course is intended to provide expertise on improving environment conditions related to various kinds of plants and coexisting technology, as well as on the production and processing of bioresources with low technological impacts on the environments using high precision handling of the environmental information.
Regional Conservation Engineering
In this field, we're thinking to protect the safety and comfortable livelihood of local residents. The main objectives of this field are;
(1) Evaluation of the natural environment, restoration, conservation and management,
(2) Design, construction and maintenance of various facilities,
(3) The creation of prevention/mitigation approach to natural disasters.
We're working from a scientific and engineering point of view on these.
Environmental and Ecosystem Science
Multidisciplinary research and education are conducted to study the cycling of matter and sustainable agricultural fields in ecosystems from a view point of soil science. Numerical simulation models are developed to predict water, solute and gas transport with plant root uptake in a soil based on field and laboratory experiments.
