About Me
I work on various scopes of surface process, mostly associated with detritus (both modern and ancient sediments) by interdisciplinary techniques (e.g., multiple thermo-chronometers from low to high temperature and geomorphological methods). I have gained plentiful experience on trenching, borehole logging, and field investigation of natural hazards through my own research and collaborative studies. I specialize in fission track dating and adequately use multiple geo-/thermo-chronology (such as U/Pb, Ar-Ar, radiocarbon, optically stimulated luminescence dating, and so forth) to detect the moving history of the target material and to approach a better picture of the source-to-sink puzzle.
