Advanced Science and EngineeringⅠ FeaturesⅡ History and ProfileⅢ RequirementsFundamental Science and EngineeringCreative Science and EngineeringCONTENTS◆ Environment and Disaster PreventionEnvironment and Disaster Prevention conducts theoretical and experimental studies on problems related to the environment and disaster prevention in the hydrosphere and geosphere.In Coastal Engineering, studies are conducted on hydraulics and coastal engineering, in particular, the numerical analysis, field surveys and hydraulic experiments of tsunami and storm surges, wave mechanics, sediment transport and beach erosion, water quality, etc. In Water and Environmental Engineering, studies are conducted on the restoration of water environments with resource recycling processes, advanced water and wastewater treatment processes, conservation of water environments using bio-barriers, simulation of water quality, etc. In River Engineering, based on river hydraulics and hydrology, we perform numerical analysis and experimental studies on multinatural river creation making use of the mechanism of natural river migration and problems related to environment and disaster prevention of drainage basins.In Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, we conduct research on a wide range of topics using experimental and numerical tools and use state-of-the-art remote sensing technologies. Research topics include soils with extremely low permeability for usage in radioactive wastes, soil slurry with heavy unit weight for nuclear power plant decommissioning, geomaterials for CO2 fixation, new geotechnical engineering for ICT, new energy resource such as methane hydrate, numerical evaluation for slope stabilization against torrential rainfall, techniques of liquefaction countermeasure and ground improvement, and stability of river levees during flooding.◆ Planning and ManagementGiven the various changes in the socio-economic environment of urban areas in recent years, the study of city planning has become increasingly important. The field of city planning is extremely wide. However, in this research area, our study includes multiple courses concerning planning design technologies covering everything from investigation, analysis, planning, design, to management and operation, centering on (1) arrangement of urban and regional areas, space design, and urban development, (2) urban transportation and urban infrastructure facilities, (3) urban disaster prevention, and (4) landscape planning and design. The areas are not limited to Japan and overseas city planning is also positioned as an important course of study. Our study approaches are based not only on theoretical and methodological basic studies, but also on active and practical application studies including policy experiments on real urban areas.102102
