Research Interests

1. Research on evaluation of disaster prevention and mitigation functions of forests
2. Research on the physical mechanisms of soil water movement phenomena

Forests prevent erosion and collapse of slopes, rockfall, avalanches, mudslides, and landslides. They also prevent and mitigate disasters by reducing the flow of water and air, and they preserve the soil and provide clean air and water. These functions vary greatly depending on the conservation management of forests. We are studying the effects of different forest conservation management on the prevention and mitigation of disasters caused by forests.
