The crying need of our time is the sustainability of the global environment, and so humanity faces the urgent task of overcoming environmental problems.
The Division of Environmental Informatics approaches environmental policy solutions through the field of information science.
Using satellite image analysis and computer simulations to collect and analyze environmental data from Aichi Prefecture and around the world, we conduct research to support modeling of present and future environmental phenomena such as heat islands.
Vegetation activity
Ground cover classification
Ground surface temperature
Ground surface reflectance
Our main research areas:
1. Research on climate simulation
2. Research on disaster simulation
3. Research on satellite data processing
4. Research on global environment monitoring
5. Research on chemical composition simulation

Industrial development in the 21st century has thrust before us the huge topic of environmental problems. These problems are global in scale, and their solutions will require collaboration among government, business and academic institutions. In the Division of Environmental Informatics, we use cutting-edge information technologies to analyze environmental data. By researching and applying information that will be useful in a very wide range of fields, we are contributing to the resolution of the urgent problems we face.
