Mer om författaren
Dr. Nobuo Mimura is a Professor Emeritus at Ibaraki University and a Specially Appointed Professor at the university’s Global and Local Environment Co-creation Institute. His research areas are global environmental engineering and coastal engineering. For over 30 years, he has been deeply involved in studies on the assessment of climate change impacts and adaptation in Japan, Asia, and small island countries in the South Pacific. His work has highlighted the unique risks of the impacts in these countries and the role of adaptive actions. He also served as Lead Author, Coordinating Lead Author, and Review Editor for the second to sixth assessment reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). He has also contributed as an advisor to several Ministries of the Japanese Government as well as international bodies such as the World Bank. Currently, he leads a strategic research project, S-18 “Comprehensive Research on Projection of Climate Change Impacts and Evaluation of Adaptation” funded by the Ministry of Environment of Japan and the Environmental Restoration and Conservation Agency.Dr. Satoshi Takewaka is a Professor at the University of Tsukuba. His research interests are coastal engineering and remote sensing. He analyzes long-term trends of sandy beach deformations due to waves, currents, and climate change. He has experience in two governmental research projects on climate change issues and was an editor and author of project book publications. In the S-18 project, he collaborates with Professor Mimura and publicizes the research project and results.
