Course description and aims
Research fields related to the environment have a very wide variety. Therefore, to analyze the environment or address environmental issues, a transdisciplinary approach is necessary. This course focuses on how to apply a variety of basic knowledge in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, etc., which you have already learned, to environmental analysis and solving environmental problems. For this goal, lecturers who are specialists of environmental fields will give omnibus type lectures focusing on the above-mentioned points, while also including some cutting-edge research results.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to understand how to apply previously learned basic knowledge about mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, etc., to actual environmental research fields.
Keywords
atmospheric environment, water environment
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Omnibus style lectures, where one topic is explained by one lecturer in 3 classes

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)
None
Reference books, course materials, etc.
Handouts will be distributed before the start of the class via T2SCHOLA and others.
Assessment criteria and methods
Learning achievement is evaluated by combining results from quizzes/reports given by the lecturers.
