For students who are interested in working with us

We seek for those who like;

- physical and chemical analyses and experiments
- to be physically active for analyses and experiments (who don't want to sit at the desk all the time)
- to know about properties of rocks, minerals, and faults: especially, fracturing and deformation of rocks and minerals
- to imagine phenomena occuring in faults through various analyses and observations
