Faculty of Crisis Management

This department has continued research and education to solve problems related to the environment, medicine, and health. For example, in addressing environmental problems, there is a professor studying weather changes caused by global warming. Others are studying the recycling of waste, the origin of acid rain and its affect on rocks. In areas of medicine and health, new ways of testing for early detection of disease, research on cancer cells and defense mechanisms of life are being studied by a number of professors. Unified research to identify problems in environment and medicine has been conducted to discover the effects of chemicals and disease related microorganisms on the environment and ultimately on the human body.

To maintain security in our daily lives, our goal is to research areas that not only relate to the basic elements of air, water, and soil, but those involving the safety of life, food, and the need for improving the social environment through projects such as recycling and city planning. With the hope that the earth will be a comfortable environment for the next generation, we search for ways to preserve the harmony between humans and nature for the continuous prosperity of mankind.
