The Earth Measurement Lab conducts large-scale analysis of seismic motion and crustal deformation data, develops analytical methods, and launches new observations, in order to clarify the temporal and spatial characteristics of crustal activity. Through this work, the lab aims to elucidate the processes by which earthquakes occur and the settings where they occur, and to contribute to predicting seismic hazard.

The Storm and Extreme Weather Lab studies the structure of extreme weather that causes meteorological disasters, such as typhoons, heavy rain, and violent winds, and the mechanisms of their formation and development, through analysis of satellite and meteorological data and numerical modeling. The lab also studies the regional-scale atmospheric environment and Asian monsoon variability that form the background of extreme weather, and how extreme weather will appear in future climates.

The Space Geodesy Lab uses space geodetic data such as GNSS to model plate motion and fields of crustal deformation associated with earthquakes, slow slip, and similar phenomena. Based on observational data such as crustal deformation and seismic activity, the lab also works to improve long-term earthquake forecasting.

Building on meteorology, the Disaster Climate Lab aims to clarify how extreme weather and abnormal weather conditions arise and how predictable they are, as well as climate change and its mechanisms, in relation to changes in atmospheric composition and variability in atmospheric and oceanic circulation. The lab carries out its research through numerical experiments with general circulation models and regional weather models, and through analysis of long-term meteorological and oceanic observation data and operational ensemble numerical weather prediction data. The lab is a cooperating research group of the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences in the Graduate School of Science, and belongs to the Atmospheric Science division.

The Earthquake Generation Mechanism Lab studies the physics of earthquake occurrence, source modeling, and real-time earthquake information for use in earthquake disaster prevention. The lab also uses cutting-edge technologies such as fiber-optic sensing, together with seismic waveform data, to detect and investigate various natural hazard phenomena.
Kimiyuki Asano, Professor

The Strong Ground Motion Lab studies the prediction of the strong shaking (strong ground motion) caused by large earthquakes. Based on earthquake source physics and seismic wave theory, the lab conducts basic research on the generation, propagation, and amplification of strong ground motion from the source to the site, and develops broadband strong ground motion prediction methods. The lab aims to contribute to building a society resilient to disasters.

The Offshore Earthquake Lab investigates seismicity and subsurface structure through offshore observations of earthquakes and crustal deformation, and studies the source characteristics of earthquakes ranging from slow earthquakes to great earthquakes. The lab aims to reduce disasters caused by megathrust earthquakes and tsunamis.
Shiro Ohmi, Professor

The Earthquake Information Lab builds and operates systems that collect, store, and distribute observation data on crustal activity, such as earthquakes and crustal deformation. Alongside considering a sustainable observation system, the lab also conducts research on information dissemination that helps with disaster prevention and mitigation.

The Inland Earthquake Lab aims to reduce damage from inland earthquakes by clarifying the still poorly understood processes by which they occur and developing methods to forecast them. It is known that seismic activity becomes more active in southwestern Japan before a giant earthquake in the Nankai Trough.
