| Future Plan |
Currently, there are ongoing surveys and researches on seafloor massive sulfide (SMS) deposits around the Japanese Exclusive Economic Zone. Our laboratory aims to investigate the genesis and exploration methods of SMS deposits and to provide methods for environmentally friendly development of SMS through field surveys of the sea and land-based studies.

| Messages to Students |
I hope you will join us in our mission to create and promote a new field in ocean development engineering through examining SMSs in the ocean.
