Research work of Shinjo was mostly concentrated in [[geodesy]] , [[astrophysics]] and ancient Chinese astronomical history.

Shinjo was president of Kyoto University from 1929 through 1933.[3] He died of heatstroke in Nanjing in 1938.[1]

Work

[edit]

Research work of Shinjo was mostly concentrated in geodesy, astrophysics and ancient Chinese astronomical history. He spent much effort on accurate measurements of the Earth gravity and magnetic field, which were important in that time. His field measurements were mostly performed in Japan, Germany (Potsdam), China (Singapore), Manchuria and Korea, and he also explored the gravity of the Japan Trench using a navy submarine in 1934. His astronomy achievements included establishment and development of the Space Physics Laboratory at Kyoto University in 1918, where he studied meteors, variable and binary stars.[4]
