The Organic Reaction Chemistry Lab develops environmentally friendly synthetic methods that use transition metal complexes as catalysts. Aiming to introduce the “desired functional group” at the “desired position” in a molecule, the lab works toward zero-emission organic synthesis reactions. The lab develops catalytic oxidation reactions that use oxidants that produce no “waste” by-products, such as oxygen in air and hydrogen peroxide. The lab also studies methods that use the oxygen atoms of water to make compounds labeled with oxygen isotopes.

The Biocatalytic Chemistry Lab focuses on the metabolic pathways of bioactive substances produced by microorganisms and plants, aiming to understand the chemical principles of life phenomena in nature. The lab discovers new enzymes that catalyze chemical transformations that are difficult to achieve with synthetic organic chemistry reactions, and studies the mechanisms of those reactions in detail. Based on the principles of catalysis, the lab also aims to develop practical biocatalysts that outperform natural enzymes. On the lab's website, it is also introduced under the name “Ushimaru Lab.”

The Radiochemistry Lab works with radioisotopes (RI) and the materials they are made from to study chemistry related to nuclear energy and nuclear fusion. The lab works on ozone chemistry, nuclide separation chemistry, and isotope separation chemistry, as well as interdisciplinary areas that combine them. The lab is located in the Ito Campus laboratory of the Center for Integrated Isotope Safety Management, and it is a cooperating research group of the Department of Chemistry in the Faculty of Science. According to the lab website, it accepts applications from prospective undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students at any time, and it also welcomes lab visits.

The Functional Coordination Chemistry (Kosei Yamauchi) Lab uses metal complexes as catalysts to study reactions that drive water splitting and carbon dioxide reduction. Centered on metal complexes, the lab studies hydrogen evolution catalysts, oxygen evolution catalysts, and the splitting of water with visible light. Associate Professor Yamauchi belongs to the Institute for Advanced Study, and is also introduced as a member of the Coordination Chemistry Lab in the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science.

The Solar-Terrestrial Physics Lab regards the space between the Sun and Earth as a single system and studies the physical phenomena that occur there. By combining observation, theory, and numerical simulation, the lab works to understand large-scale phenomena in a system where the solar wind, magnetosphere, and ionosphere are connected. According to the lab website, people who know little about magnetospheric phenomena need not hesitate to join, and the necessary knowledge and skills are naturally acquired in the course of research life. The lab also welcomes people who feel, "I don't really understand it, but let's just give it a try."

The Space and Terrestrial Electromagnetism Lab studies disturbances in the electromagnetic environment surrounding the Sun and Earth, from observation to theory. Near-Earth space supports our daily lives, for example through the operation of satellites, but it is also a harsh environment where solar activity causes geomagnetic storms. The lab investigates the mechanisms behind these disturbances using a geomagnetic observation network and ground-based radar operated by the International Center for Space Weather Science and Education, as well as satellite observations. Students sometimes travel in Japan and abroad to install magnetometers, and the lab also aims to contribute to society through daily updates of space weather information.

The Atmospheric Fluid Modeling Lab uses numerical simulation to study flows and atmospheric waves throughout the atmosphere up to an altitude of about 500 km. The motion of Earth's atmosphere differs greatly with altitude. In the upper atmosphere at 300 km, global-scale circulation varies on a one-day cycle along with the movement of the Sun. Around 50 km altitude, on the other hand, variations caused by global-scale waves with periods of several tens of days are observed. The lab investigates why circulation differs so much with altitude and what mechanisms cause changes in circulation.

The Atmospheric Fluid Dynamics Lab studies phenomena in the "middle atmosphere," which lies above the troposphere where clouds and rain form. The lab studies sudden stratospheric warming, in which temperatures rise abruptly over the polar regions in winter, and the ozone hole, in which ozone drops sharply over Antarctica in spring. The lab also studies the flows of Earth's oceans, and of the atmospheres and oceans of other planets such as Jupiter and Mars, using the approach of geophysical fluid dynamics. The lab's website invites anyone who wants to hear more to feel free to drop by the student room.

The Atmosphere-Ionosphere Coupling and Space Weather Science Lab studies phenomena in the upper atmosphere, roughly 80 to 1,000 km above the ground. This region is where the International Space Station, satellites, and rockets fly, and it serves as the gateway to space. Disturbances in the ionosphere and thermosphere can strongly affect radio communications, GPS, and satellite orbit control and lifetime, so they are central to space weather research. Using observations and simulations, the lab investigates influences from the Sun, influences from meteorological phenomena, and the coupling between plasma and the neutral atmosphere.

The Meteorology and Climate Dynamics Lab studies a wide range of weather phenomena, from extreme weather events to abnormal weather and climate change, along with their interactions across scales. Using any of data analysis, numerical simulation, and field observation, the lab takes a comprehensive view of the interactions between the atmosphere and the ocean, sea ice, and land surface. Its main topics include linear precipitation systems, typhoons and explosive cyclones, monsoons, and predictions of near-future climate change on timescales from seasons to several years to a decade.
