| Course description |
| This class will be held by two lecturers (Dr. Hirokazu Ozaki and Dr. Sato), regarding practical contents of environmental science. The lecture by Dr. Ozaki is focused on environmental pollution state caused by heavy metals and radioactive substances elucidated from field monitoring. Then, students will learn basic scheme of random sampling method which is an essential procedure not only for sample collection from the target field but also social survey. We will reconfirm what environmental science is and consider how we should be for that at the end of the series of the lectures. The lecture by Dr. Sato is focused on the policy of hazardous substances in Japan. Japan society experienced serious pollution problem in 1960-1970. Nowadays, we have to address many kinds of environmental risks that include uncertainty and decision making procedure. In sum, we’ll study the development of environmental policies in Japan. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Dr. Ozaki: Students develop more knowledge on environmental contamination state by heavy metals and radioactive cesium in the current days. They learn the basis of random sampling as a fundamental collection skill of field samples. Students are also expected to grasp how their own research topic is placed in the associated study fields and our society. Dr. Sato: To understand the development of environmental policies in Japan and the issues of environmental risk management on present days.

| Assessment/Grading |
|
Lecture by Lecture by Dr. Ozaki (50%) and Dr. Sato (50%) Dr. Ozaki & Dr. Sato: Evaluate student’s attitude in class (40%) and report (60%). The report topic will be directed during the class. |
| Message from instructor(s) |
|
Dr. Ozaki: It is very important to know past examples, to properly understand the actual situation on site, and to have one's own thoughts and opinion based on the relationship with associated fields and social phenomena for working on environmental issues as an expert. And let us learn the basic sample collection methods necessary for proper understanding of the actual situation. Dr. Sato: We’ll study the historical development of environmental policies and address present issues of environment. |
