Course description
Water contributes to construct the shape of land surface. It flows out soil and sediments, generating the cycle of crust materials. Various freshwater environments such as rivers, lakes, ground water, wetlands create respective characteristic worlds, where biogeochemical cycling is working through life activities. Inland water is essential to us and all lives, but not a few problems are occurring with respect to its qualities and quantities. This lecture aims to understand the whole view on such a freshwater environments.
Expected Learning
Understanding the whole view on freshwater environments.
