Global Environment

Faculty

Prof. Shin-ichiro Nakaoka
Prof. Hisashi Yashiro

Research Themes

1. Basin-scale observations of atmospheric greenhouse gases and ocean surface carbon dioxide (CO₂)
2. Estimation of sea surface CO₂ distribution in the global ocean and evaluation of CO₂ exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean
3. Simulation studies about global spatiotemporal variations in GHGs and understanding of their impact on climate
4. Application of AI and data assimilation technology to atmospheric environmental modeling
5. Studies using GHG observations by satellite (e.g., GOSAT series)
