I am a Lecturer at the Department of Sustainability Studies, Hosei University. As a human geographer,​ I am interested in studying human-environment interactions in coastal and river/lake basin environments, and volcanic landscapes from a social-ecological​ systems point of view. I have worked with the concepts of social-ecological systems, local ecological knowledge, and ecosystem services in different ecosystems in Japan, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Indonesia, and the Philippines. I am currently involved with applying ecosystem services concept as an anthropocentric tool to understand the contact points of human society with diverse sets of benefits from the river basin and coastal environments for biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation and sustainable​ development​.
