| Course description |
|
This lecture contains a class by teacher with experiences of work abroad in institute. A process of establishment of international environmental monitoring program will be lectured. Furthermore, the effects of environmental stresses such as gaseous air pollutants, PM2.5 and acid deposition on plants and its mechanisms will be lectured. A teacher who has practical experience outside academia teaches this class. 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. |

Learners will work on exercises of textbook prior to the class, and checking answers and discussion are done during the class. Namely, without preparation for the class, you cannot keep up with the class. Learners will present the content of original paper concerning "plants and environment", and discussion will be done during the class. 1. Warm-up 2. Fermi problem (1) 3. Fermi problem (2) 4.
