| Course description |
| "Science on Freshwater Environment" will give lectures on fundamental knowledge of the freshwater environment on the earth's surface, especially focusing on the hydrologic cycle highly associated with energy and material cycles on the surface. On the water cycle, river water, groundwater and lake water as components of freshwater have unique movements and circulations. Recently, the freshwater, very important resource for us, faces the problem from the aspects of both quantity and quality. Participants will learn water cycle associated with energy and material cycles on the earth's surface, and understand overall picture of the freshwater environments with comprehensions of the component characteristics. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Students who successfully completed the course of this lecture, are able to explain hydrologic cycle associated with energy and material cycles on the earth's surface, and understand overall picture of the freshwater environments with comprehensions of the component characteristics.
