The lab explores the mechanisms of climate and environmental change through atmospheric composition and glacier variations.
AboutAbout the lab
Unraveling climate and environmental change through the atmosphere and snow and ice.
The Climate Science Lab studies the mechanisms of climate and global environmental change, including global warming, with a focus on atmospheric composition and changes in snow and ice.
It aims to clarify and predict variations in atmospheric constituents such as greenhouse gases, ozone, and aerosols, as well as variations in snow and ice.
Using field observations, satellite data analysis, and numerical simulation, the lab provides education and research ranging from fundamentals to applications.
This site is for the Atmospheric and Hydrospheric Sciences group, and the Climate Science Lab is presented as one lab within that group, in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Graduate School of Environmental Studies.
Key terms
- Aerosol
- Fine particles suspended in the atmosphere. Because they affect climate, they are targets of observation and numerical modeling.
- Chemistry-climate model
- A global-scale numerical simulation model that calculates atmospheric chemical reactions and climate change together.
- Ice core
- A cylindrical sample of ice drilled from a glacier or ice sheet. It provides clues for studying past environments.
ResearchResearch themes
Predicting global warming requires understanding how the climate is maintained and how it changes. The lab aims to clarify and predict variations in atmospheric constituents such as greenhouse gases, ozone, and aerosols, as well as variations in snow and ice.
*Illustrative imageMechanisms of glacier change in Asia
Using field observations, satellite data analysis, and numerical modeling, the lab studies glacier variations in Asia and their mechanisms, and explores their impact on sea level and regional water cycles. It also conducts ice core drilling and paleoenvironmental reconstruction in Asia's high mountain regions.
*Illustrative imageAtmospheric environment through chemistry-climate models
This research aims to quantitatively understand global environmental problems, from air pollution and ozone layer variations to climate change and global warming, and to predict the future. It uses global-scale numerical simulations (chemistry-climate models) and satellite data analysis.
*Illustrative imageAerosol observations
The lab observes airborne fine particles that affect climate, centered on precise measurement of individual particles. The main observation sites are the Arctic, which is warming rapidly, and the downwind regions of the Asian continent, a major source of aerosols.
*Illustrative imageRapid changes in glaciers and ice sheets
The lab studies changes in glaciers and ice sheets in Antarctica, the Arctic, and high mountain regions. Combining field observations, satellite data analysis, and numerical experiments, it works to elucidate the mechanisms of the melting, hydrological, and flow processes that cause rapid changes.
