AboutAbout the lab
Making the invisible geosphere environment visible
The Kawabe Lab deals with problems in the geosphere environment that cannot be seen, such as soil and groundwater contamination.
For problems occurring in many places around the world, it studies remediation methods that are as environmentally friendly as possible, together with risk assessment for people and ecosystems.
In particular, for naturally occurring heavy metals, it traces the underlying mechanisms and works to prevent their spread to surrounding areas and reduce risk.
The lab also studies the effective use of waste such as volcanic ash and pumice, and carbon dioxide fixation using rocks and soil.
Key terms
- Geosphere environment
- The environment formed by soil, rock, and groundwater from the ground surface down into the subsurface.
- Risk assessment
- Estimating how much of a harmful substance reaches people and living things, and what level of impact it could have.
- Naturally occurring heavy metals
- Heavy metals that are originally contained in rock and soil, rather than coming from human activity, and dissolve out.
NewsLab news

A joint study involving Professor Kawabe developed a technique for measuring nanoplastic concentrations in soil
ResearchResearch themes
The Kawabe Lab conducts research on environmental remediation and risk assessment in order to solve geosphere environment problems such as soil and groundwater contamination in a rational way. Its distinguishing feature is building up information on the invisible subsurface through the processes of investigation, analysis, interpretation, and evaluation.
