| Course description |
|
Subjects on geoscience are the area profoundly related to agricultural and environmental sciences in a broad sense. As a culture to build the base for agricultural and environmental sciences, this course lectures basic scientific knowledge on geosciences, taking a flame work of earth and planetary sciences that has made progress recently. This course 'Geoscience' addresses spatial scales such as inner earth and the universe, and time scales such as the evolution of the universe and the earth. This course aims to understand the basic concept on the universe and our planet and the scientific approaches. On the other hand, the other course, "Environmental Geoscience", give lectures on current environment and geochemical cycles of each earth subsystem such as atmosphere, geosphere and hydrosphere. This course is essential to the students who are going to get a license of 'Science' for junior high school and high school. |
