ABOUT IPM

The Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University is located in Misasa Town, Tottori Prefecture where is famous for radium hot springs. The origins of our institute can be traced back to before World War II, first developed as the Hot Spring Research Institute of Okayama University combining medical care and earth science study after the war. In 1985, the earth science research division became independent and was approved as a Joint Usage/Research Center, "Institute for the Study of the Earth’s Interior". In 2016, a renewed "Institute for Planetary Materials (IPM)" was established after several reorganizations, and research topics were developed from evolution of the Earth’s interior to the research that approaches the origin of planets and life including extraterrestrial sample returns. Now we continuously research these topics.
