浜名湖調査前半

こんにちは,ヤギです!

東大の水産実験所を拠点として浜名湖の調査を行って来ました.
水産実験所ではヤギを飼育することで雑草の生育を抑制してるらしいです.

今回は浜名湖調査の前半についてお伝えしようと思います.
このプロジェクトや富士五湖の調査に関しては以下のブログを参考にしてください.
http://lams-yokoyama.blogspot.jp/2014/10/blog-post_24.html

浜名湖調査の前半では音波探査と陸上掘削をメインに行いました.

機械を用いず,人力で掘削している様子.この日は約5.5 mまで掘削しました.


人力ではなく,機械を用いた掘削の様子.延べ2日で約10 mまで掘りました.

浜名湖でのコアリングのための滑車を船に取り付けるため作業中...
ホームセンターを回って材料は集めてきました.

 陸上で作成した音波探査用の船を湖上に浮かべます.富士五湖のような傾斜の緩い浜がなかったので,クレーンを使って降ろしました.

天気も大きく崩れることもなかったので良い調査でした!

富士五湖掘削

こんにちは!


M2の恒川です。

QuakeRecNankai(QRN)プロジェクトの一環で、10月前半の2週間、富士五湖の調査に参加してきました!
QuakeRecNankai(QRN)プロジェクトは「南海トラフ沿いに起きた過去の地震の復元」を目的にしています。
このプロジェクトは、日本の産業技術総合研究所・東京大学と、ベルギーのベルギー王立自然史博物館・ゲント大学・リエージュ大学によって進められています。


今年は富士五湖と浜名湖の、「音波探査」と「表層コアの掘削」を行います。
私は富士五湖の調査に参加しました。

初日に下見をした後、山中湖→本栖湖→西湖→河口湖の順番で、音波探査と表層コアの掘削を行いました。

長い表層コアが上がってくる瞬間は、歓声が上がりました!


本栖湖の下見

音波探査用のイカダを作っています!


イカダ完成!
イカダを湖に浮かべます

そして船で引っ張って音波探査をします!

掘削にいってきます!



表層コア

懇親会の様子

特別講義@屋代高校

こんにちは!
10月16日に、横山先生は長野県の屋代高校で特別講義をされました。
スーパーサイエンスハイスクールの認定を受けている学校で、毎年のように授業をされていますが、毎回熱心に授業を受けてくれているそうです。

20名以上が参加しています。



途中の10分間休憩の時間には、研究室から持ち込んだ多くのサンプルを手に取りながら興味深く観察している高校生の姿が印象的だったそうです。写真からもその様子がうかがえますね。

熱心にサンプルを観察していますね!



講義の後は”科学者になりたい”という生徒さんが複数名、色々な質問をしてくれたそうです。将来がとても楽しみですね!
