Course description |
This course aims to acquire basic and applied knowledge in the field of agriculture and environment as well as related scientific fields. For this reason, we invite guest visiting professor around the world for the lecture on the latest topics. This lecture will be offered as [Advanced lecture on Agriculture Science I] for students enrolled after April 2019. For students enrolled before April 2019, this lecture will be offered as [General aspect for regional development]. Please pay attention when you register for SPICA. |

Lecture #1 November 12 (90 minutes×2) Kirstin Bunte Introduction of sediment dynamics in rivers Lecture #2 November 13(90 minutes ×1) Kirstin Bunte Method for monitoring the sediment dynamics Lecture #3 November 14 (90 minutes ×1) Kirstin Bunte Evaluating the sediment dynamics and river management Lecture #4 December 2 (90 minutes×2) Julien Tournebize Introduction of water quality and its evaluation Lecture #5 December 4 (90 minutes×2) Julien Tournebize Water quality mitigation using bufferzone for the nutrient and pesticide Lecture #6 January 15 (90 minutes×2) Liyantono Introduction of watershed hydrology with Remote Sensing Analysis Lecture #7 January 22 (90 minutes×2) Liyantono Hydrological application for modeling and prediction of landuse changes Brief introduction of visiting professor Dr. Kirstin Bunte Dr. Krisin Bunte is a research engineer focusing on sediment dynamics and fluvial geomorphology in Colorado State University, USA. She obtained Ph.D. of physical geography in Freie Universitat Berlin, Germany. She has been working on improving monitoring technique for bedload sediment in mountain revers. She also focuses on patterns of sediment movement for changes in river morphology. Course description The lecture by Dr. Bunte includes introduction of sediment movement in streams and rivers. She will explain processes and mechanisms how, where and when sediment can be mobilized. She also explores how we can evaluate the sediment movement in a given condition around the world. Discussion in the lecture will be extended toward river and watershed management and conservation. Dr. Julien Tournebize Dr. Julien Tournebize is Research Engineer and the team leader of Attenuation, Mitigation, Transfer and Modelling of Pollutant in HydroSystems Section in Irstea, France. He has received Doctor degree in Physics at University of Strasbourg in 2001. After, He worked as Research Engineer in Cemagref which is former institution of Irestea. He has been mainly worked for the aria of pollutant fate and transport and mitigation in aquatic ecosystem. Course description: The lecture content by Dr. Tournebize includes regarding general water quality issue in agricultural drainage and wetland ecosystem. Other issues are the water quality mitigation using buffer zone in terms of nitrate and pesticides. Functions and roles of vegetative buffer zone for reducing pollutant concentration entering streams and aquatic ecosystem will be presented. Dr. Liyantono Dr. Liyantono is an associate professor in Bogor Agricultural University. He obtained Ph.D. in United Graduate School of Agriculture Science, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, Japan. He focused modeling and remote sensing approaches for rice field and water resources management. He specified for using soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) model for water and soil conservation from paddy to watershed scales. His focuses extends to economical evaluation and environmental conservation. Course description The lecture included general aspects of watershed hydrology, field and remote sensing approaches, and managements. His lectures will also include modeling and prediction of land use changes in watershed scales. Bridging between science and social implementation can be included in this lecture. |
