Yusuke Yokoyama

Professor Yusuke Yokoyama is affiliated with the University of Tokyo at the Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute, focusing on Geochemistry, Biogeochemistry, and Earth Surface System Studies. He employs advanced Radioisotope dating techniques, particularly radiocarbon analysis, to reconstruct Paleoclimate and Paleoenvironmental changes.

• Research Themes: Paleoclimate studies, Organic carbon stabilization in mangroves, Volcanic gas emission, North Pacific climate variability
• Key Tools: Mass Spectrometry, Radioisotope dating, Geochronological modeling

His work spans critical areas like sea level fluctuations, ocean acidification, and tsunami disaster resilience, with significant contributions to understanding the Holocene Temperature Conundrum and Anthropocene definitions.
