The Human Geography Lab comprehensively and systematically studies the regional characteristics of human activity on the Earth's surface, including its relationship with the natural environment. It is one of the fields in the Environmental Studies Major of the College of Geoscience. Each faculty member works on themes such as religious space, agriculture and rural areas, urban housing, and cities and transportation. Main graduation research topics include changes in the proximity of urban clusters, the daily life of Muslims living in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and the production and distribution structure of dried shiitake mushrooms grown on logs.

The Regional Geography Lab studies human environment systems from a regional perspective, focusing on differences in living environments such as urban areas and humid tropical regions. It is one of the fields within the Global Environmental Studies major in the College of Geoscience, School of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Tsukuba. The faculty's research topics include tourist regions, Australian studies and urban geography, Indigenous peoples' rights, and urban water environment issues. In the Global Environmental Studies major, students investigate the global environment through fieldwork, such as interviews and land-use surveys, and through data analysis.

The Geomorphology Lab studies landforms as they are changed by the processes of weathering, erosion, transport, and deposition, in both basic and applied research. It is one of the fields within the Global Environmental Studies major in the College of Geoscience. Each faculty member focuses on a different subject, such as alpine zones, mountain slopes, coasts and rivers, and soil erosion and deposition. Main graduation research topics include the conditions under which shallow landslides occurred in the heavy rainfall in Hiroshima, the soil layer distribution in dolines of the Akiyoshidai karst, and the quantification of weathering on bare rock surfaces in the Swiss Alps.

The Hydrological Science Lab comprehensively studies the water cycle in nature and its physical, chemical, and biological processes. It belongs to the Global Environmental Studies major in the College of Geoscience. Each faculty member studies a different area: atmospheric water and evapotranspiration, water use, water environment issues using tracers, and assessment of the water cycle using tracers and numerical models. Main graduation research topics include changes in the heat budget and evaporation of Lake Kasumigaura, tracking the water cycle with stable isotopes, and the origin and geochemical characteristics of hot spring water.

The Atmospheric Science Lab studies a wide range of atmospheric phenomena, from the local circulations and weather forecasting techniques dealt with in meteorology to climate change and global warming. It is one of the six fields in the Earth Environmental Science major, in which students investigate the global environment through fieldwork such as meteorological observation, analysis of observational data, and numerical simulation. The faculty's research covers climate change including global warming and extreme weather, as well as urban climate, paleoclimatology, the carbon cycle, and the atmospheric boundary layer. Graduation research topics have included the influence of the Tibetan Plateau on precipitation around Japan during the rainy season, short-duration heavy rainfall in Tokyo's 23 wards, and cap clouds over Mt. Fuji.

The Environmental Dynamics Analysis Lab aims to deepen understanding of the dynamic natural environment by analyzing the movement of water and materials at the Earth's surface. The Earth's surface is where the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere meet, and the lab also aims to clarify the changes caused by human activity. The faculty's expertise includes hydrogeomorphology, marine material cycles, environmental radioactivity, water and material dynamics in forests, remote sensing, and soil formation and classification. Main graduation research topics include concentrations of radioactive materials in river basins, estimating the net primary production of lake water by remote sensing, the chemical composition of rainwater in forests, and soil particle size and radioactive cesium.

The Historical Geology and Paleontology Lab studies how organisms evolved and how the environment changed over the course of Earth's history. By interpreting the phylogeny, functional morphology, paleoecology, and paleoenvironments of organisms, the lab investigates the patterns of adaptive evolution and the changes in the living environment at the Earth's surface. The subjects differ by faculty member and include conodont paleontology, vertebrate evolution, and isotope analysis of sedimentary rocks. The lab is one of the fields in the Earth Evolution major of the College of Geoscience, where specialized research and education are carried out.

Through geological study of strata, the Stratigraphy Lab aims to read the chronological succession of phenomena that occurred at the Earth's surface and to clarify the mechanisms of global environmental change. The lab studies the history of subduction zones and continental margins from sedimentary rocks, and past earthquakes and tsunamis from strata. It is one of the fields in the Earth Evolution Sciences major of the College of Geoscience. This major treats fieldwork as one of its key foundations and holds many field excursions.

The Earth Dynamics Lab analyzes the Earth's dynamic changes through geophysical big data analysis, field science, laboratory experiments, rheology, and the building of mathematical and analogue models. It is one of the fields in the Earth Evolution Sciences major of the College of Geoscience. Faculty members study the earthquake generation processes in subduction zones and the formation of accretionary complexes, earthquake investigations using seismic waves and satellite data, and source process analysis using seismic waveform data. Graduation research topics include investigations of what happened during great earthquakes and studies of the relationship between rocks and fluids at subducting plate boundaries.
Toshiaki Tsunogae, Professor

The Petrology Lab conducts research that clarifies the formation mechanisms of rocks and tectonics through rock field surveys and elemental and isotope analysis. Professor Toshiaki Tsunogae analyzes metamorphic rocks found in orogenic belts in India and Africa. Associate Professor Kei Ikehata analyzes the behavior of volatile and chalcophile elements in magma. Graduation research includes work on rocks from Antarctica and India.
