Outline of research activities
Through field-based surveys, I am conducting research to clarify the geology and paleoenvironment of Mesozoic strata distributed in the Hokuriku region. I am also conducting research to clarify ecology of dinosaurs, such as their gait, walking speed, and gregarious behavior, based on dinosaur footprints. We will also be researching effective methods for museum exhibitions that focus on dinosaur fossils.
- Desired cooperation
-
- Research on the protection of fossils exposed in the wild, such as footprint fossils
- Effective museum exhibit techniques using digital technology
