Course description
This course is positioned to acquire advanced research topics in the research field related to the master's thesis.


The purpose of the Environmental Science and Natural Resources I is to study the fundamental properties and latest scientific information for better biomass utilization by leading researchers. It is positioned as a recommended course in the field of Functional Control of Natural Resources.

Paper is an environmentally friendly material that utilizes forest resources, namely, biomass. It has been manufactured since BC but is still used in large quantities on the market. This is because forest and plant resources are used to produce paper as raw materials and incorporated into the circulation of ecosystems. Due to concerns that non-circulating carbon emissions will cause climate change, the Japan has made a cabinet decision to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 46% by 2030 compared to the 2013 levels and achieve complete carbon neutrality by 2050. For this reason, each business entity is striving to replace some of its products and manufacturing processes with biomass materials such as paper. For this purpose, it is important to develop biomass utilization techniques, such as paper-biodegradable plastics composites to impart thermoplasticity, utilizing agricultural waste and unused biomass so that forest resources are not depleted, assuming that paper will be used in various phases. Examples of the development of such new biomass materials will be introduced, and the concept and application of the development will be explained.



The objective of this lecture is to acquire a wide range of knowledge from the basics of wood and wood-based materials to applied fields such as the use of wood in structures and to deepen consideration of the significance and effects of wood utilization.
This course is an intensive lecture given by Prof. Kenji Aoki of the University of Tokyo. The outline of the lecture is as follows.

In this lecture, basic knowledge of manufacturing methods and applications of various wood-based materials will be overviewed. Next, material manufacturing standards such as JAS and JIS, and the standard strengths and allowable stress required for use as structural materials for buildings will be lectured. The course then moves on to lectures on applied fields of wood utilization, such as the types and characteristics of wooden house construction methods, the background to the recent increase in medium- and large-scale wooden structures, and the latest information on technological developments.
It may be updated during the summer vacation.

Message from instructor(s)
Wooden constructions are attracting increasing attention due to growing global awareness of environmental issues. In this lecture, I hope to provide students with knowledge of various wood-based materials, the significance of their use in wooden constructions, and issues that need to be addressed in order to increase the demand for wood in the future.
