The Solar-Terrestrial Environment Laboratory (STEL) of Nagoya University was established in
June 1990. The main objective of STEL is to understand the structure of the Sun-Earth environment and its dynamic behavior, and to discover the underlying mechanisms that control Sun-Earth relationships. Solar-Terrestrial relations research is aimed at achieving a better understanding of the mechanisms that are responsible for the energy transfer from one region
to another in the complex, interactive solar-terrestrial system. The study of physical processes occurring throughout the entire system, which are intrinsically non-linear and unsteady, requires the coordination of an array of ground-based remote sensing equipment and multiple spacecraft as well as theoretical studies. For conducting and promoting comprehensive research on the Solar-Terrestrial relations STEL is operated under an inter-university collaborative system in
Japan and currently has four research divisions and one research center.
