Course description and aims

[Summary of the course] This course lectures on the latest trends in gas hydrate research based on the current situation of natural gas shift as a respond to resource/environmental problems caused by the present energy use. Especially, distribution and formation mechanism and influence on global environments of methane hydrate are introduced based on the latest results of field investigation and sample analysis.
[Aim of the course] To understand the latest trends in the research on resource/environmental problems is essential for students in applied chemistry. The purpose of this course is to find the latest results of a scientific investigation of methane hydrate and its impact on resource/environmental problems.
