Marine Environmental Modeling and Synthesizing|Department of Ocean Technology,Policy, and Environment Graduate School,The University of Tokyo

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, etc. 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, the effects of CO₂ on marine biota, and offshore recovery of floating marine plastic debris.

Please note that Prof. Sato will not be accepting applications for doctoral students. Master’s students will not be accepted after October 2025., too.
