About the editors
Heitaro Kaneda is a professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Chuo University, Tokyo, Japan. After he earned his Ph.D. from Kyoto University and spent some time as a postdoc at The University of Tokyo and San Diego State University, he became a researcher of the Active Fault Research Center at the Geological Survey of Japan, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. He then moved to the Department of Earth Sciences at Chiba University and taught there for 11 years before joining Chuo University in 2020. He has been working on tectonic, mountain, and glacial/periglacial geomorphology. His research is most characterized by fieldwork at remote locations, including deep forest mountains, barren deserts, alpine mountains, and Antarctic nunataks, which are combined with detailed geomorphic analyses of high-definition digital topographic data and geochronology with widespread tephra, radiocarbon dating, and surface exposure dating.
Hiroyuki Tsutsumi is a professor in the Department of Environmental Systems Science at Doshisha University, Kyoto, Japan. After earning his Ph.D. from Oregon State University in 1996, he taught at the Department of Geology, Kochi University and the Department of Geophysics, Kyoto University. Since 2017, he has taught at Doshisha University. He has been working on tectonic geomorphology and earthquake geology in Asia, such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Myanmar, Indonesia, Philippines, Japan, and the Russian Far East, collaborating with local universities and research institutes. He employs multidisciplinary approaches, including geomorphology, Quaternary geology, structural geology, remote sensing, geochronology, and shallow subsurface geophysics.
