“Biogeochemical cycling in the biosphere and environmental issues” Several elements such as C、H、O、N、P、S are the components not only of living things but of the atmosphere. Their biogeochemical cycling makes up the earth’s environment. On the other hand, the alterations of these cycling have resulted in a variety of important environmental issues. Such relationships between biogeochemical cycling and environmental issues will be discussed in this lecture. In addition, the history how the biogeochemical cyclings have been developed in the planet Earth will be explained. This lecture will have a seminar style in addition to lecture style. Some small test will be made. We are going to have a discussion based on this small test. |
| Expected Learning |
|
To understand how the Earth’s environment that only allows living things to live has been developed and is maintained. To understand that ocean and terrestrial environments have the structures that strongly affect biogeochemical cyclings and the existence of life. To understand the scientific basis and acquire the ability to conceive the essence of this issue through the own thought. |
| Course schedule |
|
（1）The history of the earth’s environment and the evolution of biogeochemical cycling. （2）The condensation of elements on the earth (especially carbon) （3）The structure of marine environment and biogeochemical cycling （4）The structure of terrestrial environment and biogeochemical cycling （5）The issue of climate change solved from biogeochemical aspect. |
