Understanding ecosystems/geochemistry dynamics linking Earth surface sub systems to reveal their interactions with human activities

Based on oceanic and atmospheric observations, lab experiment and model simulations, we understand and evaluate the impacts of ocean acidification, warming, hypoxia, and environmental pollution on changes and processes of ecosystems/geochemistry linking Earth surface sub systems (ocean/atmosphere/land systems) to reveal their interactions with human activities. We also focus on “hotspot” areas, Arctic region, and on Tsugaru Strait driving/representing global or near-Japan climate and environmental changes.
