Outline of Final Research Achievements

On March 11, 2011, Great East Japan Earthquake struck Tohoku Region of Japan. Huge area in the northeast coast of Japan was seriously damages by the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami. In this study the authors performed the monitoring of the environment recovery of some of the damaged areas in Miyagi Prefecture with satellite images and field survey under the cooperation with university students and local high school students. The main purpose of this project was the promotion of environmental education with remote sensing. The high school students are learning the use of satellite images for environment recovery monitoring and its limitation. This project will last for at least five years .
