The Habitat Environmental Symbiosis Lab aims to make wood resources last longer. It studies how to improve the durability of wood, wood-based materials, and timber houses; the physiology and ecology of wood-decay fungi and termites and integrated control of the damage they cause; technologies that improve the penetration of preservatives into wood; and technologies for deterioration diagnosis and maintenance. The lab also takes on environmental remediation and bioenergy development that use the functions of organisms that degrade wood, as well as nanostructure analysis of wood carbon, which is attracting attention for its high functionality, and the development of new functions for it.

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.

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.

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.

The Volcanic Eruption Prediction Lab conducts multi-parameter observations of seismicity, ground deformation, video imagery, volcanic ash, and gas at volcanoes in southern Kyushu, including Sakurajima. The lab conducts research on long-term assessment of volcanic activity, quantification of eruptions, short-term forecasting immediately before eruptions, and the prediction and real-time characterization of volcanic ash dispersal and deposition.

The Crustal Fluid Lab focuses on water in the crust and uses geophysical methods such as geoelectromagnetism and seismology to clarify the distribution of fluids from the subducting plate to the shallow crust. Building on an understanding of the settings where volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur, the lab studies the relationship between the two and evaluates the potential for volcanic eruptions.

The Large-Scale Eruption Lab analyzes observational data on earthquakes and ground deformation to gather scientific knowledge about giant caldera eruptions, such as the movement of magma at depth and the processes by which it migrates and is supplied to shallow levels. Based on this, the lab conducts research on long-term forecasting of the occurrence of large-scale eruptions.

The Slope Conservation Lab aims to clarify the mechanisms by which slope failures, landslides, and debris flows occur, and to contribute to a safer society. Based on the results of disaster-site surveys and field observations, the lab conducts model experiments, numerical experiments, and terrain data analysis. It seeks to clarify the mechanisms of sediment movement caused by the interaction between hydrological processes and topographic change. The lab also conducts research on forecasting and predicting disasters in advance and reducing the damage they cause.
