RESEARCH研究 紹 介

device engineering

Development of a superconducting rotating machine that improves the performance of marine energy equipment
For Japan, an island nation, the appeal of marine resources is immeasurable. The ocean is a promising energy resource with a higher energy density than other renewable energies and less fluctuation in output due to changes in weather.
In order to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society by utilizing ocean energy resources without waste, we design and prototype small, lightweight, high-output, and highly efficient superconducting generators/motors, and develop them in the extreme environments necessary to do so. We are developing technology and sensing technology through "manufacturing."

environmental chemical engineering

Consideration of environmentally friendly seabed mineral resource development technology and mineral processing technology
Aiming for a stable supply of metal resources, we conduct research on environmentally friendly metal resource development technology. For example, we are considering appropriate treatment methods for metal-containing wastewater and tailings that may be generated as a result of undersea mineral resource development. By conducting insolubilization tests using natural hydrothermal ore samples and utilizing mineral analysis and geochemical modeling, we will investigate chemical reaction conditions suitable for processing. We are also conducting research focusing on microorganism-mineral reactions, investigating the contribution of marine microbial activity to the formation of submarine hydrothermal ore deposits, and developing new useful mineral separation techniques using marine microorganisms.

marine meteorology

Understanding offshore weather phenomena
The atmosphere and ocean create phenomena through interaction, and it is necessary to study meteorological phenomena including the ocean in a unified manner.
However, continuous spatiotemporal marine weather observation at sea is not easy.
In addition to field observations, our laboratory is working to understand oceanic weather phenomena using satellite data and weather simulations. In particular, we continue to conduct research on offshore winds, which are necessary for offshore wind power generation, and are contributing to the selection of suitable construction sites through medium- to long-term data analysis.

Geophysical exploration/underground monitoring research

Exploring and examining the underground using seismic waves
Under the oceans and land, there are plate boundaries and faults that cause earthquakes, magma chambers that cause volcanic eruptions, and ore deposits that collect natural resources such as oil and minerals.
In these places, the underground conditions change over time due to natural phenomena such as earthquakes and eruptions, as well as resource development by humans, which affects the global environment and our lives. Therefore, at Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, we are developing technology and research to use artificial seismic waves to explore underground structures and examine changes in underground conditions.
