富士の山に積もった雪も、大分溶けてきた。
何事も、永遠に存在し続けることはないのだろう。
鬱金桜だが、研究所内を確認したら、小木を含めると７本もあった。
日本中に２７本しかないという勘定は、どこから生まれたのだろうか。
世の中には、往々にしてこの種の統計が闊歩している。
よく調べると、一人の人に行き着くことが多々ある。
まあ、話半分として聞いておこう。
東京から富山へ向かったビンセントからメールが届いた。
北陸新幹線から見る景観を絶賛している。
今年の９月には、日本陸水学会の公開シンポジウムに参加してくれるという。
日本語のプログラムをGoogleの自動翻訳で英語にしたので、送ってくれた。
「結構使えるね」というのが彼の感想だ。
新幹線といいインターネットといい、ますます便利にそしてますます早くなっていく。
その分、人間がなまけもののになっていくようだ。

New Development of inland water and coastal environmental studies brought about by technological innovation (working title)
1) Purpose
Technology development in marine, industrial surface (submarine cable, submarine deposits, etc.) from the fact that there is also demand for and military surface (such as submersible detection and torpedo exploration), have been addressed in the thriving in Europe and the United States. These state of the art, for example, as seen in submarine, often is done in a large mother ship and sets. For this reason, small and water mass is large lakes, the spread of the latest technology in water depth and shallow coastal areas did not come in little progress.
On the other hand, Alec electrons (at the time) and HORIBA compact water quality meter developed, rather than the applications that the detection of very small density difference which has been determined by the oceanography, also dropped the accuracy of miniaturization and operation simple it is possible to proceed with the reduction, is popular mainly on simple research in fisheries monitoring and lakes in coastal salinity change is large area, it became a hit product to be exported to foreign countries. On the other hand, observations and using the AUV (autonomous underwater robot) in Lake Biwa, balloon and ROV mapping of subtropical seagrass beds using (Yusaku-gata underwater robot), quantification of waterweed community biomass which applies the ultrasonic technology etc., apply to inland water and coastal area environmental studies of technology that has been developed in the ocean is carried out mainly on Japan, I while paying off some. However, the maintenance platform costly etc., are the difficulty of small water unique even becomes highlighted.
Against the backdrop of this situation, in this symposium is to organize the challenges for the future and the application of the inland water science and oceanography in done so far has advanced measurement techniques, even new measurement that have been developed in the marine field by introducing the technology to bird's-eye view with the contacts of land water science and oceanography, and want to discuss, such as the possibility of new development based on the interdisciplinary innovation.
