Spotlight on Research: Curing earth’s diseases through renewable energy
“The earth is suffering from several ‘diseases’: global warming, ocean acidification, habitat loss, etc. If any of these diseases remains uncured, other diseases will accelerate and cause new ones to appear, hence putting humanity’s well-being in danger,” said Associate Professor Masahiko Fujii. For this reason, the research staff of the Faculty of Environmental Earth Science keeps on assessing the current global environmental issues and promoting renewable energy sources as a possible solution.

“For many years, we have been concerned about global warming, but in most of those years, we overlooked its effect on the ocean and what lies beneath. The initiatives to look into ocean acidification just started in the early 2000s,” added Fujii.
