&lt;p&gt;This website features the following information:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Research&lt;/strong&gt;: Our research themes including liquefaction, seismic ground behavior, and ground deformation assessment using spatial information technology&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Members&lt;/strong&gt;: Introduction of faculty and students with their research topics&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Publications&lt;/strong&gt;: Papers, conference presentations, and awards&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;News&lt;/strong&gt;: Latest laboratory activities and updates&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We will regularly update this site to inform prospective graduate students and companies/research institutions interested in collaborative research about our laboratory activities.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Welcome New Members for the 2026 Academic Year</title><link>https://tmu.geotechlab.jp/en/news/2026-04-01_new-members/</link><pubDate>Wed, 01 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://tmu.geotechlab.jp/en/news/2026-04-01_new-members/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Our laboratory has begun a new chapter in the 2026 academic year. We are pleased to welcome motivated undergraduate students interested in geotechnical engineering as new members, bringing new energy to the laboratory.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="new-members"&gt;New Members&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3 id="undergraduate-students-b4"&gt;Undergraduate Students (B4)&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ohara Rio&lt;/strong&gt; - Graduation Research: SBAS analysis by InSAR and evaluation of post-liquefaction ground settlement by triaxial liquefaction tests&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chida Tsubasa&lt;/strong&gt; - Graduation Research: Liquefaction characteristics of weakly cemented Pleistocene sandy soils&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yasui Akito&lt;/strong&gt; - Graduation Research: Relationship between past terrain modification history and in-situ ground characteristics&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id="graduate-students"&gt;Graduate Students&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are currently recruiting graduate students (doctoral and master&amp;rsquo;s programs). We look forward to hearing from anyone interested in geotechnical engineering and earthquake engineering.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
