Yoshimura Laboratory will once again be present in the UTokyo Kashiwa Open Campus! This is year, it will be held on October 24 (Fri.)-25 (Sat.), 2025.

Please come to visit us at the Chiba Experiment Station of the Institute of Industrial Science! 

For more information, please access Kashiwa Open Campus 2025.

During Aug. 7th-Aug.8th, Yoshimura’s Lab and Yamazaki’s Lab had held the KK summer intensive seminar at Ritsumenkan University on Aug.7th. 
Yoshimura sensei gave a introduction talk at the beginning and Yamazaki sensei concluded at the end of the seminar. Students from Yoshimura’s Lab and Yamazaki’s Lab had given their presentations on the seminar and received from their supervisors and colleagues.
 

On Aug.8th, all members  had a trip to  the Fukui Prefectural Varve Museum and Mikata Five Lakes. At the museum, Nakagawa sensei gave us a talk about the varves and his out-coming research results considering the global climate change.

On July 22, a seminar was held with Korea National University of Transportation, Korea University and Incheon University.

The schedule was as follows:

16:00-16:30 Dr. Jongmin Park (The use of C-band SAR to explore water body, water level, and soil moisture)

16:30-17:00 Dr. Kyuhyun Byun (Reconstruction of Long-Term High-Quality Gridded Meteorological Datasets based on Deep Learning)

17:00-17:30 Two post-docs from Dr. Jun’s lab

1. Impacts of Rossby Wave Packets and Atmospheric Rivers on Meteorological Drought (Dr. Jungwoo Han)

2. Retrievals and analysis of satellite-based evapotranspiration (Dr. Jongjin Baik)

17:30-18:00 Q&A, General discussion

18:30- Socializing dinner

This event was a good opportunity to find out better what is being done in South Korea, but also to learn how our research is connected and how we can collaborate. 

Members in the seminar

Ylab welcomes new students, post-docs and professors with a little party!

We hope that in the near future you can create strong connections within the lab. These will not only support you academically, but also as friends when you need them.

Welcome Party in May

Welcome Party for Diego in June

The project brochure for the research project led by Yoshimura, “Implementation of Long-Term Flood Prediction through the Integration of Satellite Observations and Model Simulations: Toward the Realization of a Society Free from Flood Disasters” (JST/Future Society Creation Project Full-Scale Research/JPMJMI24I1), has been completed.

This brochure provides an overview of long-term flood prediction technology and introduces the future that this technology could bring to our region once it is implemented in society. The future vision was created through discussions among researchers and practitioners from various fields who are members of this research project. Please take a look.

Happy New Year, and good luck in 2022!

Last October, Ms. Diani from Sri Lanka and Mr. Hasnain from Pakistan entered the master’s and doctoral programs, respectively; in November, Mr. Haimao from Tongji University returned to Japan after completing his studies; and in December, Ms. Kamei joined us as a secretary.

From now until March, we will be busy with various things at the end of the fiscal year.
