Sho Fujibayashi, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
Fujibayashi Lab studies in which astrophysical phenomena some of the heavy elements, such as gold and platinum, were produced. Using numerical simulations, the lab investigates mergers of neutron star or black hole binaries, and predicts the elements synthesized and the electromagnetic waves emitted in them. By comparing these predictions with observational data, the lab hopes to clarify the origin of heavy elements and the properties of the merged binaries. Assistant Professor Sho Fujibayashi belongs to the Division for the Creation of New Research Fields at the Frontier Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Sciences.
Satoshi Yamada, Assistant Professor

The Yamada Lab studies why black holes exist in the universe through multiwavelength astronomical observations centered on X-rays. The lab investigates how gas moves around the supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies and what elements that gas is made of. Its ultimate aim is to uncover the role black holes played in the formation of galaxies and galaxy clusters, and even in the origins of the solar system and humankind. The lab belongs to the New Field Creation Research Division of the Frontier Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Sciences (FRIS) at Tohoku University.

The Seismology and Volcanology Lab aims to clarify, through both theory and observation, the laws that govern fault motion, volcanic eruptions, and related phenomena. In seismology, the lab studies the fault rupture processes of large and moderate earthquakes in Japan and abroad, aiming to use the results for ground motion prediction for disaster mitigation. In volcanology, the lab is building next-generation volcanic eruption forecasting technology through eruption modeling and volcano observations in Japan and overseas. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Solid Earth Geophysics Division."

This page is based on the website of the whole center, which includes the research groups on inland earthquakes, volcanoes, offshore earthquakes, and global earthquakes and volcanoes. The center focuses mainly on Northeast Japan, conducting fundamental research on earthquake and eruption prediction and aiming to contribute to progress in this field. Northeast Japan lies in a typical subduction zone where one plate sinks beneath another. Earthquake and volcanic activity there is extremely high, making it a valuable research field even by global standards. Centered on observation and in collaboration with experimental and theoretical research, the lab comprehensively studies the plate subduction process and the associated earthquake and volcanic phenomena.

The Meteorology and Atmospheric Dynamics Lab studies a wide range of atmospheric phenomena, from the land surface and the atmospheric boundary layer to clouds and precipitation, tropical meteorology, and the general circulation of the atmosphere. Faculty research topics include the heat and water budgets of the land surface, local winds and urban climate, clouds and precipitation, tropical meteorology, and global cloud-resolving modeling. The news section lists papers on topics such as linear rainbands, typhoons, and the Madden-Julian Oscillation. The lab is part of the Fluid Geophysics Group of the Department of Geophysics in the Graduate School of Science, and is located at Aobayama North Campus.

The Physical Oceanography Lab studies the variability that arises from interactions among the atmosphere, the ocean, and the land surface, focusing on the parts in which the ocean plays a major role. It uses a variety of methods, including ocean observations from research vessels, analysis of existing data, and numerical modeling. Taking a perspective on basin-scale general circulation, the lab also studies large-scale, long-term atmospheric processes that affect the ocean. The lab's ideal is for faculty and students to make use of their respective strengths, with their work overlapping and developing together.
Shinji Morimoto, Professor

The lab studies how greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane circulate at the Earth's surface. It conducts atmospheric observations using aircraft, ships, balloons, and ground stations in the Arctic and Antarctic, along with data analysis and numerical modeling. The faculty members belong to the Department of Space and Earth Geophysics in the Faculty of Science and the Department of Geophysics in the Graduate School of Science, and are also involved in educating undergraduate and graduate students.
Hironobu Iwabuchi, Professor

The lab studies the roles that clouds and aerosols play in climate change, from both theoretical and observational perspectives. The distribution and properties of clouds and aerosols influence the heating and cooling of the atmosphere and the Earth's surface, as well as the Earth's radiation budget. The lab makes observations using radiometers, cloud radar, and lidar on satellites, on the ground, and on ships, and also pursues fundamental research such as the development of three-dimensional radiative transfer models. It aims to improve climate prediction models by linking insights from observations and data analysis with theory.

The lab uses observational data from artificial satellites to study variability phenomena that occur in the ocean. Satellites can repeatedly observe wide areas in fine detail, but what they can observe is limited, and technical development is needed to use the data. Ocean research using satellite data began in earnest in 1988, when a satellite data reception and analysis room was established at Tohoku University. The lab belongs to the Center for Atmospheric and Oceanic Studies in the Graduate School of Science and operates as the Ocean Environment Observation Section.
