The Non-equilibrium Plasma Dynamics Lab (Moon Lab) experimentally studies turbulent plasma and how structures form in it. Plasma is a state of matter found everywhere in the universe, and research on it leads to a better understanding of nature and to technological innovation, including nuclear fusion. Turbulence is thought to play a major role as a mechanism by which plasma escapes (turbulent transport), and understanding it is essential for realizing nuclear fusion. The lab's main educational and research theme is to precisely measure turbulent fluctuations across a wide range of time and spatial scales, and to analyze the data to find new insights and laws.

The Plasma Information Control Lab studies how to understand and control the properties of high-temperature plasma exceeding 100 million degrees, with the aim of developing fusion power reactors. Using the QUEST spherical tokamak, the lab investigates the mechanisms of particle and heat flow (transport) inside the plasma and develops methods to control them. Because measuring instruments cannot be inserted directly into high-temperature plasma, the lab also develops its own diagnostics that use laser light, microwaves, and ion beams. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "IdoHasegawaKinoshita Lab."

The Beam Plasma Diagnostics Lab studies how to confine and control the high-temperature plasma, exceeding 100 million degrees, that is essential for fusion power generation. Because solid probes cannot be inserted into plasma, the lab develops diagnostics that use laser light, microwaves, and ion beams, and investigates the behavior of turbulence, which is thought to cause the flow of heat and particles. Using the QUEST spherical tokamak at Kyushu University, the lab is also developing methods that use machine learning to determine and control the position and shape of the plasma. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "IdoHasegawaKinoshita Lab."

The Ocean Dynamics Lab is one of the research divisions that make up the Center for Oceanic and Atmospheric Research at the Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, and it works to clarify the mechanisms of ocean variability. By combining observations, numerical and theoretical studies, and analysis of existing data, the lab also develops technologies and conducts research toward monitoring and predicting ocean conditions. The lab takes on a wide range of themes with universal relevance to the world's oceans, not limited to the coastal waters of Japan or the seas of East Asia. This is a graduate-school-only lab with no undergraduate program, so undergraduates are not assigned to it. Students join the research by entering the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences at Kyushu University.

The Climate Change Science Lab conducts research related to both climate change and air pollution. It focuses in particular on climate change caused by suspended particulate matter (aerosols) such as PM2.5 and Asian dust and by clouds, as well as the behavior of trace gas components including greenhouse gases. The lab has developed SPRINTARS, a numerical model that reproduces and predicts the global distribution of aerosols, and uses it to assess climate change and to produce week-ahead aerosol forecasts. Research is carried out together with graduate students in the Earth System Science and Technology Major of the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences, as well as with groups in Japan and abroad.

The Ocean Modeling Lab conducts research and education aimed at unraveling the mysteries of ocean circulation and predicting its future. Its main tool is numerical modeling, and it also actively uses ocean observations from satellites and ships. The lab's website shows ocean conditions in the waters around Kyushu in real time. Research themes are diverse, ranging from the fundamental theory of physical oceanography to applications and real-world problems.

The lab is one of the research divisions that make up the Center for Oceanic and Atmospheric Research at the Research Institute for Applied Mechanics. It develops technologies for monitoring and forecasting ocean conditions, and works to clarify the dynamics of ocean variability, meaning its mechanisms and elementary processes. Its themes are not limited to the coastal waters of Japan and the seas of East Asia, and cover a wide range of topics relevant to the world's oceans. The lab does not have an undergraduate department; to begin research here, one must enroll in the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences at Kyushu University.

The lab studies the analysis of data obtained from satellites and the development of methods for deriving data from satellite observations. It captures Earth's atmosphere on a global scale and investigates variations in gases such as greenhouse gases and in clouds, as well as the dynamical coupling between the stratosphere and troposphere. The lab also works on a small-satellite project to observe ice clouds and water vapor. Research themes are set in line with each student's wishes, and the lab also pursues research on developing satellite instruments and on observation.

The Climate Modeling Lab studies how clouds, precipitation, and airborne fine particles (aerosols) affect the climate, using numerical models and satellite data. Clouds play an important role in understanding climate change, and the lab works to improve the accuracy of climate change projections by improving how well models reproduce them. The lab also investigates how clouds are involved in the interactions among the atmosphere, ocean, and sea ice in the Arctic, the region of the Earth most affected by warming. The lab is the Climate Modeling Division of the Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, Kyushu University, and accepts graduate students through the Earth Environmental Science and Engineering major of the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences.
