This research group aims to investigate the rhythm of past climate and sea level changes, in order to understand and predict the climate and sea level changes we are experiencing today. We believe that asking the right question is more important than getting the right answer; there are different disciplines of research, but answering the key scientific questions requires interdisciplinary knowledge.

Guided by scientific questions, we conduct our research in an interdisciplinary manner by incorporating multiple approaches, including modern observations, numerical simulations,and geological reconstructions. Currently, our research focuses on two specific topics:

1. The oceanic and atmospheric circulations are shifting towards higher latitudes in recent decades, as they have in the past. To understand and predict the future shift, we seek to understand how far the oceanic and atmospheric circulations have drifted during the Quaternary, and what the underlying mechanisms are.

2. Sea level is rising. To understand how much sea level will rise, we seek to know how much the eustatic sea level has changed over the past few million years, and what the temperature and carbon dioxide thresholds for past dramatic sea level changes were.
