Non-academic activities

Next to my teaching, management, and research at university I am actively stimulating interest in geography and geology among Japanese high school students since 2013.

My involvement as a member of the Japan Earth Science Committee focusses on the final selection process of the Japanese students and give lectures on geomorphology to instruct on general geomorphic processes and landforms such as submarine processes and landforms or on region-specific geomorphology e.g. of the Cote d`Azure in France or Karst in Thailand. Next to my yearly efforts I have functioned as: 

To promote geography in Japan I function as an Executive Committee Member of the Japan Committee International Geography Olympiad. This involves editing a number of tests on national level as well as training selected students on how to answer the Written Response Test to gain better marks at the International Geography Olympiad. In addition I have served as:
