Basic Research Program
The basic research program in IFREE aims to understand the dynamics and the evolution of the Earth system and interactions between its subsystems of interplanetary space, atmosphere, ocean ,crust, mantle and core by using geophysical and geological observations, computer simulations, chemical analyses, high pressure/temperature experiments, and other laboratory experiments. JAMSTEC big facilities such as research vessels (with submersibles), the supercomputer "The Earth Simulator", the deep-sea drilling vessel "Chikyu", and the ocean- bottom observation network are fully utilized.

Advanced Research Program
One final goal of IFREE is to comprehensively understand the Earth Evolution via multidisciplinary research. To achieve this the Advanced Research Program of IFREE is integrating and further developing the results of the Basic Research Program and conducting cutting-edge, comprehensive, and challenging projects.
