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.

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.

The lab studies space around Earth, the Moon, and the planets, based on electromagnetism and plasma physics. Through observational research using rockets and space probes, together with theoretical research, the lab also looks toward the origin of the solar system and electromagnetic phenomena in even more distant space. The lab's research targets diverse electromagnetic and plasma phenomena across very wide regions of space. The lab was founded in 1945 as the first chair in Japan in charge of terrestrial electromagnetism.

The lab studies the variability and evolution of atmospheres on planets, including Earth. Planetary atmospheres are continuously escaping into space under the influence of solar ultraviolet radiation and the solar wind. The lab investigates this escape by combining satellite observations, ground-based observations, and numerical simulations. The lab participates in the science team of NASA's Mars orbiter MAVEN, in collaboration with the University of Tokyo and others.

The lab studies variability in "planetary spheres," meaning a planet itself together with its surrounding atmosphere and space. Using the large radio telescope at the Iitate Observatory in Fukushima, a telescope at the summit of Haleakalā in Hawaii, auroral cameras, and other instruments, the lab observes faint signals from the solar system. By combining these with satellites and spacecraft from Japan and around the world, some of which carry observation instruments the lab developed itself, the lab explores the variability and evolution of bodies in the solar system. The lab's website is that of the Planetary Plasma and Atmospheric Research Center (PPARC).

The Inorganic Chemistry Lab synthesizes new metal complexes and polynuclear complexes (clusters) using earth-abundant elements. The lab works with 3d transition metals such as iron and cobalt, and main-group elements such as aluminum. It also determines the structures of the complexes it synthesizes and investigates their reactivity and electronic properties, aiming to discover complexes that catalyze new chemical transformations and functional molecules with previously unknown electronic properties.

The Analytical Chemistry Lab develops chemical probes, and applications of them, for elucidating the functions of RNA and extracellular vesicles. Its main targets are non-coding RNA (ncRNA), which is not translated into protein, and extracellular vesicles (exosomes), which contain RNA and play an important role in communication between cells. For RNA, the lab develops probes for intracellular visualization, detection probes, and fluorescent indicators; for extracellular vesicles, it develops detection probes.

The Coordination Chemistry Lab studies how to deliberately create targeted properties and functions using materials that combine organic molecules and metal ions. The lab believes that in coordination polymers, in which metal ions are linked by organic ligands, cooperativity among the ions can produce functions that single ions cannot achieve. Its work spans a wide range, from molecular design and organic synthesis to property evaluation, theoretical calculation, and device applications. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Sakamoto Laboratory" (Sakamoto-ken).
