Class Objectives
/Class Outline The objectives of this field works are to learn basic skills for obtaining environmental data (geology, climate, plants, animals, etc.) and to deepen the knowledge and understanding that will serve as the foundation for future specialized studies of the natural environment.
We will visit Mt. Takanosu, Chuo Shinrin Park, Kurochi Beach, Mt. Noro, and others in Hiroshima Prefecture. At Mt. Takanosu, a wide variety of plants and animals can be seen. We will learn how to survey plants and animals through mountain climbing. Granitic rocks and their weathered products are widely distributed in Hiroshima Prefecture. At Chuo Shinrin Park, we will observe granitic rocks in different states of weathering and understand how weathering progresses. At Kurochi Beach, we will learn the basics of geological survey through observation of strata, rocks, and minerals. At Mt. Noro (893 m above sea level), we will measure longwave radiation at several altitudes and deepen understanding of the atmospheric energy budget.

Class Schedule Day 1 (September 22(Fri)) at Hiroshima University
    -Pre-lecture, safety education
    -Training on route mapping using a clinometer

Day 2 (September 23(Sat)): One-day trip by bus
  Mt. Takanosu
　　-Observation of plants and animals, training on survey methods

Day 3 (September 24 (Sun)): One-day trip by bus
  Chuo Shinrin Park
    - Observation of granitic rocks with various degrees of weathering
  Kurochi Beach
    - Observation of conglomerate, sandstone, mudstone, and tuff
    - Measurement of strike and dip of strata
    - Observation of minerals formed by metamorphism

Day 4 (September 25(Mon)): One-day trip by bus
  Mt. Noro and surrounding areas
    - Measurement of altitude variation of longwave radiation
    - Observation of geology and rocks

The plan of fieldwork is subject to change due to weather, infectious disease control, or other circumstances.
