Profile Professor Sato belongs to the School of Environmental Studies, and his main field of research is environmental geography. In particular, he has detailed knowledge and field research of geomorphology experience. As a graduate student, he evaluated the chronological changes in the Hida Mountains (Northern Japanese Alps) topography caused by large-scale landslides. In recognition of his achievements, he was awarded a Ph.D. from Chiba University in 2007. After completing his graduate studies, he has been engaged in education and research at Teikyo Heisei University and now at Tokyo City University. He has researched 1) topographical development caused by landslides, 2) evaluation research on dangerous slopes where landslides occur, and 3) research combining topography and archaeology. As an expert at the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), he has also worked on hazard mapping in developing countries. Regarding education, he has received the President's Award twice for the high evaluation of his classes by students at his predecessor school. He and his laboratory students are expected to continue research activities in Japan and overseas to reduce landslide disasters.
