We are studying on history of the biosphere, past geological events, and their interrelations based on informations from sedimentary rocks, ancient animals and their paleoecology.
Our research subjects are listed below.
- Tectonic processes in orogenic zones such as Himalayas, and interaction between mountain range and monsoon climate
- Taxonomy, paleoecology, functional morphology and evolutionary biology based on field survey
- Changes of fauna through geologic time
- Elucidations of causes of deaths, environmental conditions, and posthumous histories of fossils based on states of preservations and modes of occurences (taphonomy)
- Tectonics of sedimentary basins
- Tectonics and evolution of terrestrial planets and satellites
The Biosphere Study Group consists of three laboratories, Paleontology, Sedimentology and Structural Geology.
