For the 5 years from 2003 to 2007, the Graduate School of Science, RISH, and DPRI of Kyoto University will promote international research and educational activities, KAGI21 through the 21st Century Centers of Excellence (COE) Program.
We present a new multi-disciplinary approach for the Earth sciences that emphasizes the physical and/or chemical processes that are encompassed in the "Active Geosphere".
In this framework, we propose an integrated study of the processes that take place throughout many realms of the Earth.
We emphasize the field survey and observations in Asia and Oceania because much of the Earth's dynamic activities are focused in this region.
