Course content

This course provides a comprehensive study of theories and recent cases in environmental science. Students will gain an understanding of the current state of global environmental problems and learn the scientific foundations of a wide range of fields including environmental chemistry, ecology, environmental pollution, and environmental policy. The latest analytical techniques for solving environmental problems and policies and technologies for sustainable development will also be discussed. In particular, new approaches to environmental science using the latest analytical techniques, especially stable isotope analysis, will be highlighted. The course will also aim to include a close reading and presentation of recent research papers on environmental science.

Purpose of class

The purpose of this course is to deepen students' expertise in environmental science and to develop their ability to approach environmental problems scientifically. In particular, the objective is to develop the ability to understand the latest papers, to read critically, and to make presentations.

Goals and objectives

Explain the causes and effects of the latest environmental problems from a scientific perspective.
Explain the use of environmental chemistry and analytical chemistry (e.g., stable isotope analysis, mass spectrometry, chromatography).
