The Global Environmental Change Lab conducts research and education on how Earth's environment has changed in the past and how it will change in the future as human activities add to those changes. It analyzes samples that recorded past environments, such as tree rings, Antarctic ice cores, and cave speleothems, using isotopes. On glaciers in the high mountains of Asia, the lab bases its work on field observations, sometimes also using satellite images, to study changes in glaciers and glacial lakes. In tree-ring research, it also tackles themes linked to history and archaeology, namely how human societies have responded to climate change.

The lab studies how materials move among the atmosphere, oceans, and land, and the mechanisms behind that movement. The cycling of light elements such as carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen, and of their compounds, is closely tied to the environment at the Earth's surface. Through observation, experiments, and numerical analysis, the lab explores how the global environment has changed in the past, is changing now, and will change in the future. It also develops new methods for measuring material cycles. The lab examines a wide range of subjects, including lakes, rivers, hot springs, atmospheric fine particles, corals, and marine organic matter.

The Meteorology Lab studies meteorology and atmospheric physics related to clouds, rain, and snow. It investigates the mechanisms of clouds and precipitation seen across East Asia and Japan, including rainfall along the Baiu front, snowfall along the coast of the Sea of Japan, cumulonimbus clouds, and typhoons. The lab uses both observations with weather radar and balloons and computer simulations. The lab belongs to the Institute for Space-Earth Environmental Research, and accepts graduate students as a cooperating division of the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Graduate School of Environmental Studies.

The Cloud and Precipitation Science Lab studies how to observe and analyze clouds and rain using satellites and ground-based radar. The lab consists of two groups: the Cloud and Precipitation Sensing Lab, which does research related to radar and meteorology, and the Cloud and Precipitation Climatology Lab, which explores how clouds and rain relate to climate. The two groups hold a joint lab seminar every week and share student rooms. The lab belongs to the Institute for Space-Earth Environmental Research, and accepts graduate students as a cooperating division of the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Graduate School of Environmental Studies.

The Hydroclimatology Lab studies the role that the global water cycle plays in the climate system. It aims to answer questions such as where the water vapor that brings rain comes from, and how the water cycle changes with global warming. The lab covers the water cycle from regional to global scales, not only in Japan but also in the Arctic, Antarctica, and Asian monsoon regions. Combining field observations, laboratory experiments, data analysis, and numerical modeling, the lab lets students choose their study region and methods to suit their own aptitudes.

The Oceanography Lab combines satellite data analysis and numerical simulation with oceanographic observations from ships. Its research includes estimating primary production, coupled atmosphere–ocean–wave models, the relationship between oceanic wave motions and climate variability, and biological production in the western North Pacific. The lab covers a wide range of ocean phenomena, from physics to biology, including their links to climate change and human activities. It is a lab of the Institute for Space-Earth Environmental Research, and accepts graduate students as a cooperating division of the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Graduate School of Environmental Studies.

The Atmospheric Chemistry Lab studies the behavior and roles of the tiny particles floating in the atmosphere (aerosols) from a chemical perspective. Aerosols affect climate by taking up water vapor to become cloud droplets and by absorbing and scattering sunlight. Using advanced measurement techniques such as aerosol mass spectrometry, the lab investigates the properties, composition, and formation of particles through field observations and laboratory experiments. The lab is recruiting graduate students and undergraduate thesis students, and invites those interested to feel free to get in touch about visiting the lab.
