The Research Center for Pan-Pacific Civilizations publishes the “Pan-Pacific Civilizations Series” and the journal "Ritsumeikan Pan-Pacific Civilization Studies" (once a year). We also publish a newsletter in PDF format (irregularly). In the 4th R-GIRO, we are conducting a research project to strengthen resilience against disasters and food crises in the Pan-Pacific region together with a wide range of researchers in paleoclimatology, archaeology, environmental archaeology, geography, history, cultural anthropology, resource geopolitics, international politics, business administration, and information engineering. We will widely publicize the results of our research through the series and journal.
