Content of work
In Ariake Sea, red tides are frequently happening now. And also, hypoxic water mass was formed every summer. They have serious effects on the benthos community. Therefore, we made routine ship monitoring of plankton and benthos to clarify the mechanism of the dynamics of community, their relationship between the recent environmental crisis in Ariake Sea and to propose the restoration methods. We are also conducting continuous environmental monitoring with the Ariake Sea Water Quality Monitoring Tower. We are looking for a candidate who follows the aforementioned monitoring and follow the education of undergraduate classes (e.g Science of Ariake Sea). |
