Research Subject
Geochemical cycling of trace elements among water-mineral-biota
Current Research
Geochemical perspective on the factors controlling the behavior of trace elements in the Earth's surface environment. Current research interests are: (1) developing prediction model of trace element level in lakes and marshes and its application to ecological risk assessment, (2) chemical interactions between lower trophic level ecosystems and aquatic environment, (3) Isoscape approach using trace element stable isotope ratios of marine predator, and (4) Promoting retrospective environmental science using biological archive.
