Course description and aims
[Summary of the course] This course explains how the marine environment can be understood using biogeochemical methods. Examples of recent research on estimating not only the present but also the past environment, and on predicting future environments such as global warming and ocean acidification will also be presented.
[Aim of the course] The main objectives of this course are to deepen understanding of the marine environment and reaffirm the role of science in contributing to environmental action. It is important for students of applied chemistry to understand how global warming and ocean acidification, which have received much attention from society, affect the marine environment through biogeochemical cycles.
Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will have following knowledge and capabilities.
1) Be able to describe the marine environment in terms of biogeochemistry
2) Understand how to understand the marine environment
3) Acquire up-to-date knowledge of climate change
Keywords
stable isotopes, ecosystem model, material cycle, ocean acidification
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | ✔ Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
