Our researches are aimed to form concepts of environmentally harmonizing systems, which coexist with natural environments for the global sustainability. For this purpose, we are developing computational models of environments using physics, chemistry and biology. Then these models are synthesized into simulation systems in order to predict environmental impacts and construct public acceptance. Our research interests are CO2 storage in the deep ocean and in subsea underground, biological CO2 fixation, formation and dissociation of methane hydrate, CO2 geological storage by hydrate, development of photobioreactors for microalgae, development of multi-scale ocean model, modelling of flashing light effect of photosynthesis and the effects of CO2 on marine biota.
