On March 6th, a conference about methane hydrate was held in Toyoka, and Group C2 (first year students), which is carrying our research on the topic, joined the conference.

The students listened to lectures about the promotion of methane hydrate and the present situation of methane hydrate research that was carried out in the Sea of Japan. The theme of the conference fit Group C2’s research perfectly. There were many participants at the conference from outside the prefecture.
