| Course description |
| This class will be held by two lecturers (Dr. Masanori Tamaoki and Dr. Hirokazu Ozaki), regarding practical contents of environmental science. The lecture by Dr. Tamaoki is focused on the behavior of radionuclide in the environment such as forest and river basin. Also, he lectures the effects of radiation and/or evacuation on wild life and ecosystems taking the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident as an example. The lecture by Dr. Ozaki is focused on environmental pollution by heavy metals and harmful trace elements. Learn the basics of sample collection procedure by practicing a simulated on-site survey in the campus. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Dr. Tamaoki: To understand the fate of radionuclide in terrestrial area, and impacts of radiation on wild organisms and ecosystems. Dr. Ozaki: To understand actual situation of environmental pollution in the current days and acquire basic procedure of sample collection (e.g. where to collect, how many collect) as an essential step to clarify the situation. Corresponding criteria in the Diploma policy: See the curriculum maps. https://www.tuat.ac.jp/campuslife_career/campuslife/policy/ |
| Course schedule |
|
This class is the omnibus style lecture conducted by the instructors. The detail of the class are shown as follows; Dr. Tamaoki: (1) Basic knowledge of radionuclide (2) Standard values of radiation based on individual effects (3) Environmental fate of radionuclide in Fukushima (1) (4) Environmental fate of radionuclide in Fukushima (2) (5) Radiation effects on wild organisms (1) (6) Radiation effects on wild organisms (2) (7) Effects of evacuation on ecosystem Dr. Ozaki: (1) Environmental issues: What sort of problem is this? (2) Actual situation of harmful trace metal pollution (1) (3) Actual situation of harmful trace metal pollution (2) (4) Confirm how to collect samples by conventional method (5) Understand random sampling procedure and how to collect samples by random sampling method (6) Compare the measure results obtained from the conventional and random procedures (the previous results are used as example) by statistical software (7) How many samples do we need?: Statistical calculation and actual implementation |

| Assessment/Grading |
|
Lecture by Dr. Tamaoki (50%) and Lecture by Dr. Ozaki (50%) Dr. Tamaoki: Evaluate student’s performance by report related to the lecture Dr. Ozaki: Evaluate student’s attitude in class (70%) and report (30%) |
| Message from instructor(s) |
|
Dr. Tamaoki: Students have to acquire the correct knowledge about the environmental fate of radionuclide and radiation effects on wild organisms through the lecture. Additionally, I hope students will become the source of accurate information on radiation effect and so on. Dr. Ozaki: It is important to understand the on-site condition to tackle environmental issues. I hope students acquire basic skill for understanding actual situations of issues. |
