1. Introduction of the TRAN SEHA at the conference of the Geochemical Society of Japan in 2025.
At the conference of the Japanese Geochemical Society in 2025 held at Tohoku University from September 16 to 19, 2025, a poster presentation was made by Dr. Yasunori Mori, Lead Academic Specialist of the Office for the Promotion Transdisciplinary Network, Prof. Masayo Minami, Director of the Office for the Promotion Transdisciplinary Network, and Prof. Kazuo Shiokawa, Director of the Institute for Space–Earth Environmental Research, Nagoya University.
Titled “Transdisciplinary Network Formation by Institute for Space-Earth Environmental Research, Nagoya University, and Geochemistry,” the presentation introduced initiatives of TRAN SEHA.
The conference of the Geochemical Society of Japan featured many interdisciplinary studies, such as using geochemical analysis to determine the dating of cultural properties. Through our presentation, we were able to not only gather and disseminate information but also network with conference participants.
