Research on Sea Surface Salinity × SDGs

   Many of you are probably aware that global warming is causing seawater temperatures to rise on a global scale. As sea temperature rises, the supply of water vapor from ocean to atmosphere increases, causing high salinization of surface water, and in some places, low salinization occurs through increased precipitation and river water and melting of sea ice. Salinity is an indispensable element in understanding the global water cycle and other aspects of the marine environment. I would like to contribute to SDG 2 "LIFE BELOW WATER" through research that contributes to the establishment of technology to measure sea surface salinity from satellites.

   The United Nations has designated the decade starting in 2021 as the "Decade of Ocean Science," with the aim of contributing to SDGs.
