In a fascinating account of how neglect the forest management and the erosion of woodlands toppled empires and wiped out entire civilization since ancient times, they say we should establish more desirable relationship between human beings and forests.

This division offers various programs designed to provide students with the basic knowledge of the forest science relating to Forest Engineering, Disaster Prevention & Erosion Control in woodlands, and Forest Environment in mountainous regions.

      

 Investigation of landslides in forest area and sediment runoff in torrents (Aso volcano Japan, Nepal, Indonesia, Mexico)

 To mitigate sediment disaster, it is important to forecast the occurrence of landslides, and fix the hazard map in mountainous watershed. As the basic research, geomorphological process and interaction between soil and vegetation on slope system are studied in our laboratory. Also some new countermeasures for slope stability and erosion control are designed with revegetation works.
