Nozomu Takeuchi, Professor
Earth & Climate0 student voices
The Takeuchi Lab is a global seismology lab that investigates the Earth's internal structure using seismic waves that travel through the entire planet. The lab develops new analysis methods to extract from seismic waves types of information that could not be obtained before, with the goal of broadening the framework of seismology. While using supercomputers to secure a large volume of data, the lab places importance on analysis based on close observation of the waveform data itself.
Hiroyuki Tanaka, Professor
Earth & Climate0 student voices
The Tanaka Lab studies the Earth's interior using highly penetrating, high-energy elementary particles such as muons and neutrinos. It is both an old and a new field, combining geophysics and particle physics. The lab has developed a technique called muography, which uses cosmic-ray muons to look inside mountains, faults, and the Earth's interior. The lab was a world pioneer in demonstrating imaging of the Earth's interior with this method.
Masao Nakatani, Professor
Earth & Climate0 student voices
The Nakatani Lab studies the mechanisms by which earthquakes occur through experiments and theory on rock friction and fracture. It investigates, from both physical and chemical perspectives, how friction changes over time when faults rub against each other. The lab deploys detectors that capture tiny fractures deep underground in South African mines, and has found fracture activity concentrated on faults and changes in that activity before large earthquakes. Another line of research uses statistics to test how reliable phenomena regarded as earthquake precursors actually are.
Kiwamu Nishida, Professor

The Nishida Lab studies the vibrations of the Earth that continue even when no earthquakes are occurring. By carefully analyzing records from many seismometers, barometers, and water pressure gauges, the lab searches for new vibration phenomena hidden in records that were previously dismissed as noise. The lab investigates how ocean waves and the atmosphere shake the Earth, treating the atmosphere, oceans, and solid Earth as one large integrated system. The lab also uses these vibrations to study the structure of the Earth's interior and how it changes over time.
Takehiko Hiraga, Professor
Earth & Climate0 student voices
The Hiraga Lab studies the Earth as a mixture of solid and liquid, and as rock made up of aggregated mineral grains. In the laboratory, the lab synthesizes rocks and analyzes their structure and chemical composition, especially at the nanoscale. By combining deformation experiments, high-temperature creep experiments, theoretical modeling, and electron microscope observation, the lab investigates phenomena that occur inside the Earth. The lab has accepted students from a variety of fields, including seismology and petrology, and also welcomes students who have studied materials science.
