About Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere databases
This page from Kyoto University's Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere (RISH) lists collaborative research projects that use the institute's databases. The database covers two kinds of material: a xylarium collection of wood samples and wood microscopic sections, and digital data related to the humanosphere, including the terrestrial human habitat, the forest-sphere, the atmosphere, and outer space. The electronic data are described as open to the public via the Internet. An on-site "Virtual Field for the Humanosphere" in the xylarium provides PC terminals for database inquiry, an exhibition booth for wood culture, and space for presenting research results. The page was last updated in 2016 and is primarily in Japanese.
