Current Research

Climate changes, Earth system dynamics and biotic
evolution/extinction driven by astronomical/internal forcing.
・Recovery process from mass extinctions (end-Devonian,
Carboniferous, Permian-Triassic, Triassic/Jurassic),
glaciation (Carboniferous-Permian, Jurassic-Cretaceous)
and Oceanic Anoxic Events (Permian-Triassic, Toarcian, and
Cretaceous).

marine-terrestrial sedimentary sequences. Astronomical
time scale.)

resonance, Earth-Moon gravitational interaction)
・Dinosaur Evolution linked with Climate changes
