| Course description |
|
Two intensive courses of 2-day lecture each. Course 1. Lecturer:Dr. K.Yasumiba Environment conservation is essential study for worldwide and urgent activities. We need not only to obtain basic and logical knowledges but also to do some actions practically based on technical and applied researches. The objectives of this lecture is to consider by yourself of what you can do for an environmental problem with international connections. Course 2. Lecturer: Dr. O.Yoshikawa First, students will get the knowledge of environmental conservation especially conservation ecology from basic and applied studies. And especially for invasive species, you will understand the basic research from global and local issues and train to discuss the control management and the action method for solving the problem. Also, we will introduce the differences of research life and academic area between Japan and other countries at the global point of view. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Course 1. Students need to gain ability to discuss solutions for environmental problems by expressing your ideas and listening to others' opinions. Course 2. I expect you to have interests on various interactions and their ecological implications. Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy: See the Curriculum maps.

| Message from instructor(s) |
|
Course 1: Research needs not only logical study done by yourself from textbooks but also expression of your thinking for action to solve any environmental issues and widely acceptance of any other different opinions. I’m happy to give such a chance and the skills you can discuss with various researchers. Course2: Biological interactions are ubiquitous all around us. I hope this lecture will direct your interest on these phenomena in nature. |
