The Institute for Space-Earth Environmental Research, Nagoya University, in collaboration with five participating institutes, has launched the Joint Use/Research System Formation Project titled "Transdisciplinary Hub Formation Program: Transdisciplinary Network linking Space-Earth Environmental Science with History and Archaeology." This initiative aims to integrate new methods and data from space-earth environmental science into these fields, opening new perspectives and pathways for both disciplines.
In this session, we will particularly focus on discussions around isotopic analysis and high-precision dating of tree rings, as well as the excavation and detailed analysis of historical documents and past analog observation records. Topics will include clarifying the characteristics and frequency of past extreme solar storms, reconstructing climate change, dating extreme disasters and historical events using carbon-14 spike matching methods, and significantly expanding the applicability of paleomagnetic dating methods for new developments in archaeology and anthropology. We will also address the research and development of metadata databases and data search systems to seamlessly integrate information across different fields, all based on cutting-edge research in space-earth environmental science. In addition, presentations on new transdisciplinary research linking space planetary sciences with the  humanities and social sciences also widely welcomed.
