| Course description |
|
This lecture contains a class by a teacher with experiences of work abroad in an institute. A process of establishment of international environmental monitoring programs and mathematical science dealing with environmental modelling will be lectured. A teacher who has practical experience outside academia teaches this class. Dr Takada and Dr Tarao worked at Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) as a part-time specialist and a member of investigation teams. A part of his course is based on his experience at JICA. |
