Messages from Graduates



Yutaka Kobashigawa
I’m currently managing tidal observatory facilities at the Hakodake Marine Observatory, and also providing technical guidance on work concerning tides to regional weather stations. I studied geoscience including oceanography as a student, but even now, at work, I find myself with a lot of room for development. Everyday is a learning process. I believe the Department of Physics and Earth Sciences offers a good balance of lectures and practical training on topics related to atmosphere, ocean, geology, earthquake, and Earth science, and is the most suitable environment to study Earth science. I highly recommend the department!



Asuka Doi
Observation Engineer, Global Ocean Development., Ltd.
I’m currently working on board the Mirai, a marine research cruiser. The training-ship cruise I participated in as a student is what inspired me to become an observation engineer. The experience ignited my desire to work with cutting-edge technology and the most up-to-date data possible, and be an integral supporting cast of a research project. I now travel all over the world to observe, from the tropics to the Arctic Ocean. It’s not so easy to cover a wide range of responsibilities, from weather observation to topographical survey. It’s important that you have the attitude to find interest in various issues and learn about them. Becoming a member of the Geoscience Section is certainly the right first step. Pursue your interests and keep on pushing yourself. I wish you all well in your geoscientific endeavors.
