| 授業の目的 【日本語】 | | | Never before have had humans such a profound impact on the environment. The world population exceeds 7 billion and is growing steadily. Industrial and technological needs for energy and mineral resources are increasing every year. This course aims to review and discuss how humanity is changing the environment. More specifically, the course examines how human activities alter major biogeochemical cycles, and explores past climate change and the relationships between human activities and climate today. Students also learn about the nature and usefulness of geological resources and the environmental threats posed by their extraction and exploitation. The course not only aims to develop a scientific knowledge of important environmental issues, but also to promote the critical evaluation of information sources and the exchange of opinions in class. |
| | | 授業の目的 【英語】 | | | | | 到達目標 【日本語】 | | | By the end of the course, students should be able to understand and explain the subjects covered in class. Students will also be required to search information on topics of their choice and relevant to the course content, analyze the information they have found, and present and discuss their findings in class. |
