◆③ How does it work? Cosmic rays from outer space collide with earth’s atmosphere, creating fast neutrons, these neutrons interact with hydrogen in soil and snow, slowing down and becoming slow neutrons.

Our patented CRNS probe counts both fast and slow neutrons, and the difference between both measurements tell us the water content:
• In-depth: Fast neutrons travel up to 50 cm deep into the soil due to their high energy.
• On a large scale: Slow neutrons scatter over a hemispherical area with a radius of ~ 150 – 300 meters.

ISEE, Nagoya University

What is the Institute for Space-Earth Environmental Research (ISEE)?

The mission of ISEE is to clarify the mechanisms and relationships between the Earth, the Sun, and cosmic space, treating them as a seamless system, and to contribute to solving issues related to the global environment and human society spreading in space. In addition, ISEE plays a role as the only joint usage/research center linking space science and earth science, and promotes various collaborative research projects.
Our environment comprises various interacting elements and evolves with time. In particular, the dynamics of solar activity sometimes have a great influence on the global environment and human society. A huge solar flare explosion occurring on the solar surface severely disturbs the Earth's magnetic field, the atmosphere, and the radiation environment, and it may cause serious impacts on satellites, electric power, communications, aviation, and other infrastructure. Long-term variation in sunspot activity may also affect the global climate. Cosmic rays arriving from far away in the universe are also an element of our environment, and the cosmogenic isotopes in tree rings provide us with valuable information to explore past environments. On the other hand, it is important to understand the mechanisms of climate change and extreme weather phenomena, both of which may cause disasters. For this purpose, it is necessary to clarify not only the greenhouse effect but also the hydrological circulation, in which aerosols, clouds, and precipitation interact, as well as the interaction between meteorological dynamics and the land–ocean ecosystem with solar influence.
In order to explore the space–earth environment, interdisciplinary research across different fields is necessary. ISEE aims to play a role in promoting domestic and international research collaboration between researchers, and to develop a new discipline of space–earth environmental research. We look forward to your continued support and cooperation.

Education at ISEE

ISEE offers primarily graduate programs (Graduate School of Science, Graduate School of Engineering, and Graduate School of Environmental Studies in Nagoya University), but also provides opportunities for both undergraduate and postdoctoral study.

In Search for Life on Extrasolar Planets

◆Direct observations of Earth-like planets
Many planetary systems around stars other than our Sun are being discovered today, and we are learning that there exist planets with various sizes and orbits. Recently, planets similar in size as Earth have been discovered, indicating that there are planetary systems much like our own Solar Sytem. Today, infrared observation has advanced to a point of being able to actually capture images of these planets.

◆Are we alone?
Are there extrasolar planets with existence of life? This is a question common to all humanity. TMT aims to discover signs of life on these planets.

TMT will be able to study the composition of the atmosphere of extrasolar planets through spectroscopic observation. Discovery of oxygen molecules and organic substances could be a signature of existence of extra-terrestrial life.

Science Teams

The TMT International Science Development Teams (ISDTs) are groups of researchers who work together to provide scientific guidance and feedback to the TMT project, to stimulate planning for future TMT observing programs, and to build connections between the TMT and the international astronomical communities. The ISDTs foster scientific collaboration across the TMT partnership and beyond, into the broader astronomical community. Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact the conveners to learn more about the ISDTs and their activities.

ISDTs (TIO website)

Maunakea and TMT

TMT is planned to be built on Maunakea, Hawai`i. Maunakea is a 4000-m mountain with gently inclined slopes, isolated in the mid-Pacific Ocean from any other land mass, which makes the mountain one of the exceptionally well-endowed sites for astronomical observations in the world. Maunakea is also a sacred place for the people of Hawai`i, connecting them to their k?puna (ancestors) and akua (gods). It represents a symbol of the Hawai`i culture deeply rooted in nature. We are committed to the TMT Project without impeding traditional and customary cultural practices of Hawai`i.

SoftBank Corp./ALES Corp./Consortium to utilize the SoftBank original reference sites for Earth and Space Science

SoftBank Corp.

"ichimill" is a high-precision positioning service that has been introduced by over 2,000 companies.
ichimill is a service that enables advanced positioning with an error of a few centimeters by performing RTK positioning using signals received from GNSS such as the quasi-zenith satellite "Michibiki".
With general GNSS (GPS), the positioning error is around 5m to 10m, but SoftBank distributes "correction information" via the network. By performing RTK positioning calculations using the signals received by the GNSS receiver, real-time positioning with an error of several centimeters is possible.

By utilizing its own base station installation locations, SoftBank has installed its own reference sites (fixed stations) required for RTK positioning in more than 3,300 locations nationwide. No reference site preparation is required by the customer.

Because reference sites are deployed at a high density throughout the country, stable positioning can be achieved with very short switching times (handovers). Continuous high-precision positioning is possible even when traveling long distances, such as crossing reference sites.

ALES Corp.

■Centimeter-level positioning service (for individual customers)
Correction information generated by the ""ALES distribution system"" using observation data provided by SoftBank Corp. will be distributed to the customer's GNSS receiver via the Internet (Ntrip). By using this correction information, this service enables highly accurate positioning with an error of a few centimeters in real time.

■Post-processing data service (for corporate customers)
This is a service that provides corrected data generated based on observation data from unique reference sites provided by SoftBank Corp. in file format (RINEX) for post-processing. Highly accurate positioning is possible by performing post-processing using observation data acquired by the customer's GNSS receiver and this data.

Consortium to utilize the SoftBank original reference sites for Earth and Space Science

This consortium aims to commercialize research results in the field of earth science and create new earth sciences by utilizing data from SoftBank's high-density GNSS observation network (unique reference sites).

The center of our activities is the verification of data utilization methods in a wide range of earth science fields, such as earthquakes and meteorology, and is expected to greatly contribute to the prediction of natural disasters and disaster prevention and mitigation. SoftBank and ALES plan to make proposals for commercialization and disaster prevention/mitigation based on the research results. The consortium will also advance research in fields such as earthquakes, volcanoes, meteorology, and the ionosphere.
