Missions

Our mission is to provide high-resolution geophysical exploration tools which are indispensable for surveying, evaluating and monitoring the subsurface geological environments. Those tools are to be applied for the fields of geological disposal of nuclear waste, soil and groundwater contamination, geological storage of industrial CO2 and civil engineering, as well as for natural resource developments such as geothermal energy and other potential resources. We are conducting research and development of various exploration tools and case studies for a wide scope of geological applications.

We are making efforts for prompt publication and widespread use of our technical achievements, and promoting collaborations with other organizations.
