Geological Survey of Japan (GSJ) has carried out groundwater studies responding to social demands. Groundwater studies had been conducted for the development of resources and the protection of the environment in the past. These days, in addition, they are contributing to thermal energy use and practical use of the deep groundwater environment for high-level radioactive waste (HLW) and carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) projects. In this paper, we present the history of groundwater research at GSJ, current issues, and our approach to groundwater use.

Details of the methanogenic processes in deep subsurface environments, i.e., reaction pathways and responsible microorganisms are unclear. This issue can be effectively addressed by incubation experiments using subsurface water/sediment samples with high methanogenic potential, followed by subjecting the obtained enrichment culture to the analyses of metagenome, metatranscriptome, and metabolome as well as stable isotope tracer experiments. Elucidation of the methanogenic processes provides basic information required to develop innovate resource technologies such as bio-conversion of residual crude oil in a depleted oil field to natural gas for enhanced energy recovery.

Therefore, in the 1990s, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria required the use of biodegradable hydraulic oil (hereinafter called bio-oil) in construction machinery, as such oil is broken down in a short period into carbon gas and water by natural microorganisms. This was enforced through administrative actions of local governments based on Germany’s Federal Water Act. The mandatory use of bio-oil in construction machinery has affected the entire EU regions and spread throughout the environmental protection areas. In 2002, the ISO standard was set for the quality standard of bio-oil. In 2011, the EU eco-label, which is equivalent to the Japanese eco-mark, was given only to bio-oil products that passed over 40 items of environmental toxicity tests.

Several related studies have been conducted owing to the rapid development of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and bibliographic data infrastructure. [10][11] The main research subject of such promising study is the relationship between patents and academic papers. Scholars call this knowledge flow “science linkage.” Academic papers are important results of scientific research and are the source from which new technologies can be developed and applied to various fields. [12][13] According to recent studies, standardization has both positive and negative influences on the production of patents and S This study focused on the knowledge formation of an image-digitizing technology (MPEG). Based on the observed result, we propose the scenario for the knowledge creation including standardization. We firstly demonstrate how standardization changes the science linkage between patents and academic articles. Secondly, we discuss the relevance of the bibliographic clustering method (BCCN) for this analysis. Finally, the differences in knowledge creation related to standardization among countries are discussed.
