Department of Civil and Earth Resources Engineering

Chair/Laboratory

Earth Resources Engineering

 

Geophysics

Studies on geophysical exploration methodologies for imaging invisible subsurface structure in nondestructive way using seismic, electromagnetic, and geodetic means.

Earth Crust Engineering

Studies concerning the structure of underground space and its design, aiming at upgraded technologies of resource exploitation in harmony with the environment as well as the effective use of underground space.

Measurement and Evaluation Technology

Studies concerning the development of non-destructive inspection technologies and plans of operation and maintenance, for purposes of security and energy-saving of both the underground structures and resource exploitation systems.

Department of Urban Management

Chair/Laboratory

Earth Resource Sciences

 

Environmental Geosphere Engineering

Studies on "Engineering Geology" based on knowledge of geo-sciences, aiming at exploration/development of energy resources, underground sequestration of green house gases, and mitigation of natural disasters.

Environmental Geosphere Engineering

Studies concerning the conservation system of the Earth's crust, encompassing use of underground space for energy-related purposes and its design technology, behavioural assessment of underground water and clarification of mass transfer phenomenon, cleanup technologies of contaminated soil.

Department of Energy Science and Technology

Chair/Laboratory

Resources and Energy

 

Resources and Energy System

Studies concerning next-generation energy, metallic eco-materials and rock fracture mechanisms for provision of resources and energy as well as their saving in the near future.

Advanced Processing of Resources and Energy

Studies of the comprehensive process of resources and energy from a theoretical as well as practical perspective, using numerical simulations based on computational physics.

Mineral Processing

Studies aiming at the establishment of the harmonious process with the earth environment, the energy system of solar hydrogen and their application to space resource technologies.
