Satoshi YamashitaProfessor<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u25ceProfile: Graduated from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Kitami Institute of Technology, before obtaining a doctoral degree in engineering from Hokkaido University. Research interests include the deformation and strength properties of ground materials, earthquake-triggered liquefaction and evaluation of the stability of submarine ground containing methane hydrate. <\/p>\r\n

Never regret not having
\r\ndone something you wanted to do.
\r\nSetbacks are fine;
\r\ncontinue moving forward
\r\nwith a sense of purpose.<\/p>\r\n

Taking advantage of the favorable location of KIT, situated in nature-rich Hokkaido\u2019s Okhotsk region, students learn the basics in the environmental domain. In the practicum, they learn about how the Okhotsk area is tackling issues related to environmental protection and disaster prevention, identify problems and work as a team to explore solutions. The campus is a place of self-formation as students deepen their specialized knowledge. To do this requires a broad perspective with wide interests. Initial goals may be vague and are subject to change, but that is fine. Do not be afraid of setbacks and take on challenges in whatever you are interested in. Doing so will bear fruit in your life.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n

            Introduction to Gas Hydrate Research<\/p>\r\n

            Methane hydrate, often referred to as \u201cfiery ice\u201d and regarded as a future energy source, stores a massive volume of global warming gases. Students learn their properties and importance from the viewpoints of environmental studies and environmental earth science.<\/p>\r\n\"\"\/\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

              Geotechnical Engineering I<\/p>\r\n

              Students learn through lectures and practical work about the basic properties and phenomena of soil essential to mitigate or prevent disasters involving the ground, such as slope collapse due to torrential rain and melted snow, earthquake-triggered liquefaction, and frost heave unique to cold regions.<\/p>\r\n\"\"\/\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"School of Earth, Energy and Environmental Engineering Environment Protection and Disaster Prevention Course Pr […]","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":179,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-280","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kitami-it.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/280","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kitami-it.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kitami-it.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kitami-it.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kitami-it.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=280"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/www.kitami-it.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/280\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":645,"href":"https:\/\/www.kitami-it.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/280\/revisions\/645"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kitami-it.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/179"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kitami-it.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
