Department of Earth and Space Science

Graduate School of Science2018-2019

The Department of Earth and Space Science was established in

1995 with a purpose of conducting physics-based research and

education concerning: (1) the evolution of Earth and space, and (2)

the origin and properties of matter. Most graduate students major in

physics in the School of Science. The student capacity of the

department is 28 per year. The entrance examination is held in

conjunction with the Department of Physics. The Department of

Earth and Space Science conducts forefront research in the following

three major areas: (1) Astrophysics and Planetary Science, (2) Earth

and Planetary Material Science and (3) Extreme Material Science.

The related disciplines are basic astrophysics, X-ray and infrared

astrophysics, planetary and geophysics, and condensed matter

physics, as well as biophysics.

The following is a list of faculty members.
