Member Since 1988
Yuji Sano
Director, Kochi University
Dr. Sano studied the geochemistry of volatile element isotopes in volcanic and environmental systems from 1983 to 1993. After promotion to Professor at Hiroshima University, he introduced SHRIMP and invented the method for U-Pb dating of apatite. He moved to University of Tokyo in 2001 and established a noble gas laboratory for atmospheric and oceanic research and the NanoSIMS laboratory for paleoceanography and planetary sciences.
