The Fluid Resources and Energy Lab studies technologies for developing oil, natural gas, and mineral resources in ways that take the global environment into account. Problems of resources, energy, and waste are major challenges that underpin human society. The lab works on technologies to raise oil recovery rates, underground storage of carbon dioxide, technologies to reduce blasting vibrations, and stabilization of large excavated slopes. It also studies the flows that occur in the pores of rock at the molecular level.

The Earth Resource Systems Lab studies geological engineering, which understands issues related to the Earth and resources from the viewpoint of earth science and solves them through engineering. Shortages of resources and energy, pollution of the global environment, and natural disasters such as earthquakes are all serious issues related to the Earth and resources. The lab covers a wide range of topics, including the development of oil, natural gas, and geothermal energy, understanding earthquakes, conservation of the global environment, disaster prevention, and the construction of civil engineering structures. Its research uses rock samples and well data obtained by deep-sea drilling vessels, as well as satellite data.

The Crustal Environment Engineering Lab studies how mineral, water, and energy resources are distributed underground, using measurement and mathematical methods. The lab aims to build a sustainable society that coexists with resources and is in harmony with the global environment. It clarifies the chemical properties and flow of underground gas and water, and estimates the geological, thermal, and physical-property structure of the crust more accurately. By combining satellite data, electromagnetic surveys, and field surveys, the lab also explores for seafloor resources.

The Resource and Energy Systems Lab studies how controlling metallic materials at the nanometer scale brings out new properties. The lab has confirmed that nanomaterials such as nanoporous metals, which have fine pores like a sponge, show properties different from those of conventional materials. Through this research, the lab aims for breakthroughs that advance new energy and resource conservation. The lab belongs to the Department of Applied Energy Science in the Graduate School of Energy Science, and undergraduate students from the Department of Global Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering are also assigned to it.

The Resource and Energy Processes Lab studies the processes of forming materials such as metal sheets, modeling them with computational mechanics and experiments. In the flow from raw materials to making and using products, saving resources and energy is essential for a sustainable society. Covering a wide range of time and length scales from micro to macro, the lab works on research from fundamentals to practical applications. The lab also works on modeling materials that are hard to process in order to make vehicles lighter, and on creating materials that are easier to process.

The Mineral Processing Lab works on a wide range of problems related to resources, materials, and the environment. It aims to make the development of environmentally friendly materials, and the process technologies for refining and recycling resources, more advanced and more efficient. Its research includes flow and heat during the cooling of hot metal, observation of the pores in rock, and applying resource separation technologies to environmental remediation and recycling. The lab belongs to the Department of Applied Energy Science in the Graduate School of Energy Science, and also accepts students from the Resources Engineering Course of the Department of Global Engineering.

The Environmental Design Engineering Lab studies how to use waste as a resource and manage it appropriately. While recovering resources and energy from waste, it is necessary to minimize environmental pollution and risk. Based on transport phenomena and environmental systems engineering, the lab analyzes the movement of materials and energy through experiments and field surveys. It studies the technologies and social systems that handle urban metabolism, as well as the planning and design of environmental plants, aiming to design optimal urban metabolism systems.

The Environmental Health Lab studies how chemicals in our surroundings and tiny particles in the air affect human health. Some environmental pollutants, such as flame retardants, plasticizers, and PM2.5, are a concern for their harmful effects on health and the environment. The lab investigates how much exposure to a chemical leads to what kind of effect, including the dose-response relationship and the underlying mechanisms. It aims to establish methods for assessing health risks and to prevent harm to human health before it occurs.

The Water Environment Engineering Lab centers its research on sewerage systems, working toward a healthy water environment and sustainable communities. Sewers have prevented flooding and protected sanitation and water quality. They are now expected to recover resources and to turn wastewater treatment plants into hubs for communities and energy. Combining field surveys, experiments, and computer simulation, the lab investigates reaction mechanisms and material balances to establish new water treatment technologies. The lab advances its work seamlessly from fundamental research to scaled-up practical application.

The Environmental Risk Engineering Lab assesses the environmental risks that arise when harmful substances such as heavy metals and radioactive materials contaminate air, water, and soil. Combining data from field surveys, experiments, and numerical simulation, the lab studies how harmful substances move through the environment. The lab assesses risk by analyzing the pathways by which harmful substances reach people and the amounts involved. In addition to engineering, the lab draws on social science methods to clarify which measures are effective in reducing risk.
