（Knowledge and Understanding）
・Knowledge and understanding of the importance and characteristics of each discipline and basic theoretical framework.
（Abilities and Skills）
・The ability and skills to collect and analyze necessary literature or data among various sources of information on individual academic disciplines.
・The ability and skills to specify necessary theories and methods for consideration of issues.
・The abilities and skills to summarize one's own research in reports or academic papers, and to deliver presentations at a seminar or research meetings, and to answer questions.

Class Objectives
/Class Outline To learn basic knowledge and experimental techniques required in analyses and interpretation of natural environments through laboratory and field studies.

Class Schedule ・Guidance (1: Representative)
Methods of registration, usage of the laboratory, preparation for experiments, and others.
・Basic of field plant studies (2-5: Nakatsubo)
This course aims to provide the students with basic knowledge and skills for studying plants in the field.
・Field study on evaluations of foliage structure in forests using near-surface and remotely sensed methods and data analysis (6-8: Toda)
・Permeabilities and pore structures of rocks (9-12: Yokoyama, Niko)
We will measure the permeability, water imbibition characteristics, dissolution rate, and the size
and shape of pores in rocks by means of permeability test, water-expulsion method, etc. (Yokoyama)
We will examine pollens in the sediments and presume the vegetation and climate at the time of sedimentation. (Niko)
・Experiment in forest meteorology (13-15: Tsuchiya)
A forest mitigates excessive increase in temperature and decrease in humidity under the canopy. In this experiment, basic meteorological measurements are carried out at a bare soil and at a forest floor to understand the mitigation effects of forest from heat balance components of solar radiation.
