Current Research Interests

  1. Spatiotemporal Analysis of Remote Sensing Data using GIS
  2. Environmental Monitoring & Assessment
My major research topic is “environmental analysis using GIS (Geographical Information System) and Satellite Remote Sensing”. Satellite data can provide information about not only ground surface (reflectance, evaporation, land-use/land-cover), but also about water surface (water quality, sea surface temperature) and atmosphere (stratospheric ozone). This is strongly beneficial and essential for monitoring, assessment or modelling the environmental ecosystems. The analysis of satellite data on GIS platform constitutes the main part of my research, because GIS enables to deal with various data including ground-based observation, on-survey investigation data, air-photo and a broad range of digital and statistical data. I will try to implement time-spatial and statistical analyses of those data in a comprehensive manner, so as to perform interdisciplinary investigation in figuring out the state of, and changes in the environment, and in assessing the environmental impacts, both at the local and the global scales.
