研究室旅行で筑波に行ってきました! Our lab went on a trip to Tsukuba!

投稿が遅くなってしまいましたが、11/24に研究室旅行で筑波に行ってきました!

午前中は筑波山を登りました。山頂からは霞ヶ浦、目を凝らすと富士山や東京スカイツリーの絶景が見え、山頂で食べるつくばうどんは、達成感と相まってとてもおいしかったです。

午後は国土地理院の地図と測量の博物館へ行ってきました。中では測量の歴史や重力ジオイドによる標高改定に関する展示がされており、16:30の閉館時間までそこにいる小学生よりも楽しんだ大学生たちでした。

普段では語り合えないことも話せたり、研究に関する話も盛り上がり、地情研の結束にも研究の進捗にもお仕事や勉強のリフレッシュにも最高の旅行になりました!

I apologize for the delayed post, but on November 24, our lab went on a trip to Tsukuba!

In the morning, we hiked up Mount Tsukuba. From the summit, we were treated to a breathtaking view of Lake Kasumigaura, and if we squinted, we could even spot Mount Fuji and Tokyo Skytree. The Tsukuba udon we enjoyed at the summit tasted amazing, especially with the sense of accomplishment from the climb.

In the afternoon, we visited the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan’s Map and Survey Museum. The exhibits included the history of surveying and displays about elevation revisions based on gravity geoid measurements. We stayed until the museum closed at 4:30 PM, thoroughly enjoying ourselves even more than the elementary school students there.

This trip was a perfect opportunity to talk about things we don’t usually discuss, engage in lively conversations about research, and strengthen the bonds within our lab. It also served as a great way to refresh ourselves, benefiting both our studies and work. It truly was an unforgettable experience!
