KREATE (KR8)
Key Research in Earth, Astrogeology, and Tectonic Evolution
About KREATE
KREATE (KR8) is a brand-new research group founded on December 1, 2024, in the Division of Geoenvironmental Science, Department of Earth Science, Graduate School of Science, Tohoku University. The name “KREATE” stands for “Key Research in Earth, Astrogeology, and Tectonic Evolution,” reflecting our dedication to fostering creativity (Create) and undertaking flexible challenges in research. The simplified abbreviation “KR8” combines “KR” and “EATE”—the latter part of “KREATE,” which is phonetically similar to “8 (eight).”
In KR8, we integrate geological field observations, petrological, mineralogical, and geochemical approaches, as well as numerical simulations and laboratory experiments, to advance our understanding of diverse geological processes, not limited to Earth.
We warmly invite prospective students, postdoctoral researchers, and collaborators from around the world to join us.
