World-Leading Technology for Research and Development
The realization of the operations of data integration and information fusion of earth observational data is not necessarily done by the data-providing organizations. Such operations require a cutting-edge exploitation capability in the field of information science and technology to meet the computational challenge of data archive construction for vast quantity and various types of data, integration and management capabilities, and the broad expertise to develop an ontology registry capable of connecting different fields. Furthermore, a research-and-development capability and an institutional track record regarding information creation and related areas are necessary. A successful candidate host can leverage these skills in contribution to data assimilation technique, numerical forecast model development, and fusion with social welfare archives, in addition to supporting data collection activities through terrestrial, satellite, and related observation platforms. Such data are effectively requirements in the field of actual earth observation.
In the University of Tokyo,
- Data System Development
- Functional Maintenance for the Purposes of Interoperability
- Integration of Observational and Applied Data
Many of the results obtained through research in the aforementioned fields have already been globally recognized as best-in-class development. Our research group effectively engages in joint research, promoting international cooperation in technology development. EDITORIA represents a world-renowned top-tier research and development team for data integration and information fusion functionality.
Innovative Deployment and Human Resources Development in the Fields of Earth Environment Exploration
For the purposes of understanding the earth system and solving global environmental problems it is important to identify the relationship between each academic field and the overarching earth system through both data collection and modelling. Researchers in the area of information science and technology, and those in the areas representing Earth and Environmental Sciences must deepen their mutual cooperation in order to face the challenges of developing and supporting such a large-scale system.
The University of Tokyo, with its advanced track record in both of these areas, is a perfect candidate for supporting broad cooperation through research and system implementation. The University of Tokyo has demonstrated leadership, and the promotion of cooperative interdisciplinary research resulting in world-class scientific advances. Futhermore, the University places emphasis on synthetic and holistic development practices, for the promotion of research value through cooperation, as evidenced in the cultural lectures at the Komaba campus and elsewhere within the university system.
