Major achievements
Dr. Hayakawa’s research focuses on geomorphological processes, natural hazard risk, and geoarchaeology from a geospatial information science perspective. Dr. Hayakawa’s research is unique in that, in addition to developing topographic analysis methods using digital elevation models, he uses modern equipment including terrestrial laser scanners and uncrewed aerial vehicles in Japan and overseas to acquire and analyze high-definition data on various landforms. In addition, he has achieved outstanding results in the quantification and refinement of landform changes along rocky coasts and in the assessment of natural hazard risks such as landslides and debris flows. He has also been involved in overseas excavations for many years, and has not only proposed rapid and accurate measurement methods for landforms of archaeological sites and their surrounding areas, but also promoted cross-disciplinary research on the relationship between human and nature, such as clarifying the characteristics of ancient landforms. He is the editor-in-chief of an international journal that leads the field of geomorphology, and has also made significant contributions to international research networking and outreach activities.
