Research interests
I love freshwaters. My research area is ecology and conservation of lake ecosystems. Lakes are heavily impacted by multiple human activities, including eutrophication, invasive species, habitat destruction, and climate change. I'm trying to understand how and what kind of human activities alter water quality, aquatic communities, and multiple ecosystem services, and to think about what we should do for the sustainability of freshwaters. I typically use long-term data but also mix field and laboratory experiments, macroecological analysis, stable isotope, genetic analyses, and so on. I also like a collaborative work to find out new things and synthesize ideas for solving environmental problems.

Ongoing research
Lake long-term monitoring and research using long-term data
My big responsibility in our research institute is to lead and develop the Lake Kasumigaura long-term monitoring project, since our institute has been monitoring this lake over the past 45 years. Our monitoring data is available on our web database. If you are interested in our data, please feel free to ask! We have started the high-frequency sensor monitoring of water quality since 2020. We statisitical analyze the long-term and high-frequency monitoring data to identify the causal relationships among variables.
Nature-based solutions to balance agriculture, water quality, and biodiversity in a watershed
Excessive nutrient from agricultural lands damage water quality. However, food production is important for our life; thus the great challenge for agricultural management is to develop strategies that maintain social and economic benefits while simultaneously reducing environmental impacts. Nature-based solution, including maintenance and restoration of wetlands, can increase the possibility of ameliorating the trade-off between crop production and water quality, and also contribute to biodiversity conservation.
