Brief Description of Research
This study aims to clarify how climate change and land-use change affect ecosystems in vulnerable regions of Asia. Using remote sensing, GIS, and integrated modeling, it evaluates environmental vulnerability and associated impacts. Based on these results, the study proposes region-specific sustainable environmental management and adaptation measures to enhance community resilience and promote sustainable development. To date, we have worked on developing GIS-based digital maps for sustainability assessment and a land productivity model, as well as modeling ecosystem functions in East Asian river basins and contributing to the APEIS Integrated Environmental Monitoring project, through which satellite data analysis and ground observation systems were established. In Mongolia, we have assessed permafrost vulnerability, observed CO₂ uptake in grasslands, and estimated the carrying capacity of grazing lands to explore adaptation and mitigation options for climate change. These efforts provide fundamental knowledge for building a sustainable future.
