While promoting problem-solving interdisciplinary research that highly integrates the natural sciences and humanities, the Institute of Earth Sciences will serve as the Asian base for the International Research Program Future Earth, and will cause large-scale disasters due to the loss of biodiversity and climate change in Asia. We are working to lead the solution of global environmental problems such as frequent occurrence of science, water shortage due to population growth, and shortage of food resources.
