Course description and aims
For understanding and predicting about an environmental system as a complex systems including many factors quantitatively, numerical simulation is absolutely necessary tool. In this course,
(1) Atmospheric environments (urban/regional scale meteorology)
(2) Water environments (coastal and groundwater environments)
(3) Global environments (global scale ocean, atmosphere and watershed system)
The aims of this course are (1) to understand latest achievements in each field of environmental modeling and (2) to learn how to apply the numerical simulations of environments to real research fields. Through this course students are expected to acquire how to apply modeling and numerical simulation technique to their own research.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to understand latest achievements in each field of environmental modeling, and will be able to learn how to apply the numerical simulations of environments to real research fields.
Keywords
Numerical simulation, Atmospheric environments, Water environments, Global environments
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Lectures are omnibus style about each topic by invited experts. In the later part, literature searching about a selected topic from above lectures is conducted, and students are required to summarize in a report.

| Class 6 | Modeling coral reef ecosystem | Understand modeling coral reef ecosystem and its application |
| Class 7 | Numerical simulation of water resource management and water disaster | Understand numerical simulation of global-scale water resource management and water disaster, and its application |
Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
Textbook(s)
Nothing
Reference books, course materials, etc.
Handout will be distributed at beginning of class.
Assessment criteria and methods
Learning achievement is evaluated by reports (short report with questions for every class, final report).
