NSF Tokyo Reports. Report Memorandum No. 232. Overview of Four Geoscience-RelatedResearch Institutes in Japan

摘要

The U.S. National Science Foundation is promoting and partially supporting long-term research stays by American scientists and engineers in Japanese laboratories. A number of recipients of such grants were asked to write overviews and personal impressions of their Japanese host organizations. The intent was to get an 'insider's' view to supplement factual information already available on many Japanese institutes. This document is comprised of such reports on four Japanese institutes devoted to studies related to the geological sciences. The institutes covered are: the Geological Survey of Japan; the Public Works Research Institute; the Earthquake Research Institute of the University of Tokyo; and the Seto Marine Biological Laboratory of Kyoto University.
