- Measurement of hay fever pollen
Outline of research activities
I reconstruct paleovegetation by pollen analysis contained in sediments such as lakes and marshes, and elucidate how the environment changed in the past. I also research the human impacts on vegetation using charcoal analysis. Currently, I am focusing on the chronological study of human migration to the eastern Polynesia. In addition, we measure airborne pollen, understand the scattering status of hay fever pollen. And we report these data to the Japan Meteorological Association, and forecast scattering for the next year.
