At the research meeting on the 28th, we discussed research reports, information sharing, and future research policies with Dr. Yasuhiro Takemon (Osaka Metropolitan University), Dr. Sohei Kobayashi (Kyoto University), Dr. Shinji Takahashi (Tohoku University), and Dr. Mikio Kato (Osaka Metropolitan University).

Kibune River headwaters

​In the river survey on the 29th, we conducted surveys in the headwaters of the Kibune River in the upper reaches of the Kamo River, the Takano River, and the Kamo River. In the survey, we conducted a comparative survey of benthic animal communities at different points of sediment (gravel bottom and gravel bottom) and measured environmental parameters (water depth, flow velocity, water temperature, etc.).

​Through this research meeting and river survey, we were able to gain a variety of knowledge and experience through exchanges with Dr. Takemon and other professors. We will use what we learned this time to our future research and devote ourselves even more!
