Land use/cover change (LUCC) significantly alters the carbon storage capacity of ecosystems with a profound impact on global climate change. The influence of land use changes on carbon storage capacity and the projection of future carbon stock changes under different scenarios are essential for achieving carbon peak and neutrality goals. This study...

Although water is a vital finite resource for sustaining life, it is under constant pressure from anthropogenic activities. Among the different types of surface water, lakes are particularly difficult to restore once water quality deteriorates due to their hydrological cycles and complex dynamics. This study compares policy implementation and its...

Can Tho City is located in the middle of the Mekong Delta, where the effects of climate change have been and will continue to be considerable. According to climate change predictions, the city is one of five regions that could be affected. In this study, we conducted analysis of trends of Tmax and Tmin over 39 years using monthly temperature in Can...

Approximately one billion tonnes of municipal organic waste are generated globally every year, although only a small fraction of this is currently recycled, with the remaining factions being either burnt or dumped in landfill sites. Composting is one of a number of different ways in which organic wastes can be converted into valuable products such...

Rivers play a crucial role in nutrient cycling, yet are increasingly affected by eutrophication due to anthropogenic activities. This study focuses on the Barato River in Hokkaido, Japan, employing an integrated approach of field measurements and Sentinel-2 satellite remote sensing to monitor eutrophication as the river experiencing huge sewage...

Urbanization is a major driver of land-use change, with significant implications for sustainable development in rapidly growing cities. In this study, we assess the spatiotemporal patterns of urban expansion in Lucknow, India, from 1991 to 2021, using geospatial techniques and Landsat satellite imagery. The key objective is to analyze urban growth...

Floods have catastrophic effects worldwide, particularly in monsoonal Asia. This systematic review investigates the literature from the past two decades, focusing on the use of remote sensing (RS), Geographic Information Systems (GISs), and technologies for flood disaster management in South Asia, and addresses the urgent need for effective...

Water cycle resilience represents a vital part of sustainable water resources management for a region with severe water vulnerability issues. However, despite their importance, a current lack of systematic monitoring mechanisms has contributed to an insufficient grasp of their distribution in relation to water resources management practices, as...

韓国原子力協会に招待され、2024年12月に韓国慶州市のHwabaek国際コンベンションセンターにて開催されたGlobal Nuclear Energy & Safety Confex (NES 2024)に出席した。 韓国の原発政策は、2022年に発足した尹錫悦政権が文在寅前政権の脱原発から180度方針転換し、国内の新増設と国外への原発輸出拡大へと舵を切った。 この会議には韓国内外の原子力産業から75社、160の展示ブース、約5,000名（主催者発表）が参加した。

【開催趣旨】我々は、自然環境や緑環境からいろいろな恩恵を享受している。最近では、SDGs(持続可能な開発目標)を達成するためのさまざまな活動により、生物多様性や気候変動への対応など環境についての注目や関心・理解が高まり、人々が身近な自然環境や緑環境について学び、″生態系サービス″につて考える機会も増えている。多くの都市で緑が減りつつある中で、我々の一番身近なグリーンアセットである街路樹は、しかしながらその実際の評価や価値の判断が難しい。”街路樹の価値”を正しく評価することは、その重要性を理解し、効果的な管理や保全・保護活動へと繋がる大事な基盤であるといえる。そこで、本研究会では、「京都市の研究事例」に着目し、プロジェクト担当者による現場実践の研究報告を基調としながら...
