The Plant Molecular Physiology Lab conducts research and education aimed at understanding and applying plants and algae at the genetic level. Using methods from plant physiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, genetic engineering, and genetics, the lab aims to elucidate the unique metabolic physiology of plants. A long-term goal is also to apply the findings to food and nutrition issues and environmental problems. The lab's website presents it under the name "Nakamura Lab."

The Paleoecology Lab uses fossils as clues to study how past global environmental changes affected the organisms of the time. Its main research material is fossils of ammonites, cephalopods that went extinct about 66 million years ago. The lab also investigates the ecology of the nautilus, a cephalopod that is still alive today, through surveys and experiments mainly in the seas of the Philippines. Studying both fossil and living organisms is one of the distinguishing features of this lab.

The Geology and Earth System Science Lab investigates the Earth's past through field geological surveys and physicochemical analysis of rocks and minerals. The Earth was born about 4.6 billion years ago and reached its present form through material differentiation and interactions among its systems over timescales of hundreds of millions of years. Unraveling the Earth's past leads to insight into the Earth of the present and the future.

Earth Dynamics Lab is led by Professor Masahiro Ishikawa, and its listed research fields include structural geology, high-pressure seismic wave velocity measurement, solid Earth dynamics, and tectonics. Geoenvironmental science is also listed as one of its research fields. Professor Ishikawa, who leads the lab, is a faculty member of the Department of Environmental Risk Symbiosis in the College of Urban Sciences, and is in charge of the Department of Natural Environment in the Graduate School of Environment and Information Sciences.

Biological Oceanography Lab studies marine life, focusing on plankton such as copepods. The university's faculty profile lists biological oceanography, planktology, benthic biology, and coastal marine environmental science as research fields. Among the recent papers that Professor Shimode lists as representative works are studies on copepod reproduction and bioluminescence, and on the silica skeletons of phaeodarians.

Law, Ecology & Energy Lab specializes in environmental law, environmental policy, administrative law, and public policy, and studies environmental problems from the standpoint of how society can actually put solutions into practice. The lab examines policies on climate change, energy, and biodiversity by comparing the efforts of national and local governments with systems in other countries. The department's lab introduction says the lab suits people who are interested in how society itself works, regardless of whether they come from the humanities or the sciences.

The Environmental Safety Chemistry Lab conducts research on efficiently evaluating and reducing the environmental risks of chemical substances. Building on environmental chemistry and environmental engineering, the lab studies technologies for risk assessment and risk reduction. The lab also pursues interdisciplinary research that bridges the sciences and humanities, such as risk communication at contaminated soil sites. The lab welcomes students interested in efficient remediation and assessment of soil contamination, the diverse behavior of chemicals in the soil environment, and risk-based management methods around contaminated sites. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the names "Environmental Safety Science Lab" and "Kobayashi Lab."

The Urban Disaster Prevention Planning Lab aims for cities and regions where people can live safely and with peace of mind, and studies measures to reduce and avoid disaster risk. To put in place disaster prevention and mitigation measures suited to regional characteristics, it is necessary to understand the spatial relationship between the natural environment and human society. It is also essential to take a perspective that, while lifelines are cut off after a disaster, maintains necessary functions and works on recovery and reconstruction by making use of local resources. Associate Professor Keiko Inagaki, who is in charge of the lab, also works on urban spatial analysis using GIS.

The Urban and Regional Economics Lab considers the harmony and development of the economy, society, environment, and culture from the level of cities and regions. The era in which rapid economic growth enriched society is over, and it has become important to achieve economic development together with issues such as human rights, quality of life, and environmental sustainability in an integrated way. The lab aims to learn from leading examples in cities and regions around the world and to propose new development policies.

The Public Policy and Empirical Economics Lab studies public policy through an empirical approach based on economic data analysis. Economics asks how people and organizations make choices, and what outcomes those choices produce for society when added up. It also considers what incentives policies and institutions create for those choices. Using statistical data and social surveys, the lab examines phenomena and problems related to daily life and activities in cities and regions, and interprets the relationship between people's behavior and policy.
