Core Research Divisions

Overview

The Core Research Divisions pursues fundamental research related to Humanosphere as well as interdisciplinal research integrated different expertise. It is composed of three research lines: the Division of Diagnostics and Control of the Humanosphere, the Division of Creative Research and Development of the Humanosphere, and the Division of Strategic Research of the Humanosphere.

Division of Diagnostics and Control of the Humanosphere

The Division of Diagnostics and Control of the Humanosphere aims to examine a wide variety of phenomena occurring within Humanosphere, analyze the mechanisms of these phenomena, and ultimately to control them. The division engages in research on integral understanding and controlling of the mechanisms of wood formation as well as measurement and diagnostic analysis of the atmospheric environment with the aid of radio science and technology.

• Laboratory of Biomass Morphogenesis and Information
• Laboratory of Biomass Conversion
• Laboratory of Metabolic Science of Forest Plants and Microorganisms
• Laboratory of Plant Gene Expression
• Laboratory of Atmospheric Sensing and Diagnosis
• Laboratory of Atmospheric Environment Information Analysis
• Laboratory of Radar Atmospheric Science

Division of Strategic Research of the Humanosphere

The Division of Strategic Research of the Humanosphere consists of three different laboratories hosting visiting scientists from other domestic institutions and those from foreign institutions. RISH invites top scientists and scholars around the world, and promote collaborative research with internal researchers. The aims are to promote advanced technology and to develop comprehensive research programs integrating both natural and social sciences in order to further explore the new areas for the Humanospheric sciences.

• Laboratory of Climate and Ecosystems Dynamics
• Laboratory of Advanced Research (Visiting Scientist)
• Laboratory of Integrated Research (Foreign Visiting Scientist)
• Laboratory of Interdisciplinary Research (Foreign Visiting Scientist)

Division of Creative Research and Development of Humanosphere

The Division of Creative Research and Development of Humanosphere is a group of experts pursuing research to stop the ongoing deteriorations of the Humanosphere and to remedy the Humanosphere. One main research area is the technological development for new recycling systems of forest resources. The other research area is the technological development for the expansion of the Humansophere into space, which includes the research on the solar power station (SPS), satellite observations of space electro-magnetic environments, and computer simulations on space science and technology.

• Laboratory of Active Bio-based Materials
• Laboratory of Sustainable Materials
• Laboratory of Structural Function
• Laboratory of Innovative Humano-habitability
• Laboratory of Computer Simulation for Humanospheric Sciences
• Laboratory of Applied Radio Engineering for Humanosphere
• Laboratory of Space Systems and Astronautics
