SHIMOZONO Takenori

SHIMOZONO Takenori is a Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at The University of Tokyo. His research focuses on waves and currents, hydro-morphodynamic processes, hydraulic structures, and coastal disaster prevention. He is affiliated with the Coastal and Coastal Environment Research Laboratory. His work includes theoretical and numerical modeling of hydrodynamics, sediment transport, and coastal structures, with applications to tsunami and storm surge prevention. SHIMOZONO has published extensively in journals such as the Journal of Hydraulic Engineering and Coastal Engineering Journal. He is also an editorial board member of Applied Ocean Research.

Shimozono Takenori is a researcher at the University of Tokyo specializing in coastal disaster dynamics, with a focus on tsunami and storm surge impacts. His work includes post-event surveys of major disasters such as the 2011 Tohoku earthquake tsunami, Super Typhoon Haiyan, and Super Typhoon Hagibis. He investigates tsunami propagation, inundation characteristics, and coastal vulnerability using advanced techniques like LiDAR, SAR imagery, and UAV-based bathymetry. His research also explores extreme wave runup, boulder transport, and the interaction between infragravity waves and coastal structures. Shimozono's studies contribute to understanding disaster impacts and improving coastal resilience through high-resolution modeling and field surveys.
