Hiroshima Institute of Plate Convergence Region Research (HiPeR)

Hiroshima Institute of Plate Convergence Region Research (HiPeR) is a research center that has been certified as “Centers of Excellence” in Hiroshima University. The staff of the Department of Earth and Planetary Systems, Hiroshima University play a central role in promoting active joint research and educational activities.

Different important geoscientific phenomena caused by the dynamic processes are occurring frequently and actively at the plate convergence areas on the Earth. HiPeR (Hiroshima Institute of Plate Convergence Region Research) aims to have comprehensive understanding on these important phenomena, dividing them into three major processes of strategic research. These include “deep circulation of rocks and water”, “process and mechanism of fault movements” and “processes of magma generation”. We are aiming to carry out three-pronged research activities including “experiments”, “instrument-based observations” and “fieldwork-based observations”, which would help us to achieve the unified goal of better understanding of plate convergence area materials and events. Please see the below for the details.
