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.

Undergraduate student participants with Prof. Yoshimura and TAs

while working

The Kashiwa Campus Science Camp 2025 was held in February and provided a valuable opportunity for undergraduates to gain unusual research experience. Four undergraduates from the Yoshimura Lab participated in the camp, and although it lasted only four short days, they were eager to learn and worked hard with Prof. Yoshimura and the TAs. The final day came and went in a flash, and even with the limited time, the presentations by the undergraduates were excellent and impressive.
