| Course description |
| "Environmental Geoscience" is a subject that treats a actual situation of the world. The environment of atmosphere, soil, land, forest, urban and ocean are learnt. Students learn basic topics of eco-science from the views of chemistry and phisics and agriculture. |
| Expected Learning |
| Students learn basic points of actual situation of the earth environment. |
