Current Research

Global warming is one of serious, modern environmental problems that can fundamentally affect human life (security, health, water resource, foods, economy, energy, and service) and ecosystem-biodiversity. As a discipline of earth science, it is a challenging scientific question of how the naturally-fluctuating climate system responds to the external forcing.

There are uncertainties in the future projections, however.
