within Educational
Program
(Applicable only to targeted subjects for undergraduate students) In this class entitled “Global environment and Ocean (tentative)”, under the situation that the global environmental issue caused by the increase in the anthropogenic CO2 after the industry revolution is critical problem in the world, students understand that the ocean, which covers approximately 70% of the Earth surface, plays an important role in controlling the atmospheric CO2 and start to consider the change in their life style for the global environment.
Criterion referenced
Evaluation
(Applicable only to targeted subjects for undergraduate students) Integrated Global Studies
（Knowledge and Understanding）
・The knowledge and understanding of the important characteristics and basic theoretical framework of individual academic disciplines.
（Abilities and Skills）
・The ability to collect and analyze necessary literature or data among various sources of information in individual academic disciplines.

Class Objectives
/Class Outline Students understand the distribution and behavior of chemical substances in the ocean associated with the Global / Ocean environment and the Ocean’s potential ability of the control in the global environment.

Class Schedule lesson1　Global environment and the Ocean (KW: global warming (boiling), sea level rise, CO2, Ocean)
lesson2　Watery planet (KW: birth of ocean, major component of seawater, salinity)
lesson3　Circulations of the ocean and chemical substances (KW: wind circulation, thermohaline circulation, radiocarbon)
lesson4　Marine bio-elements (KW: nutrient, Redfield ration, micro nutrient)
lesson5　Carbon chemistry (KW: solubility and chemical equilibration of CO2, CO2 absorbance, spatio-temporal variation in sink / source areas of CO2)
lesson6　Biological absorbance of CO2 (KW: primary productivity, diatom, coccolithophorids)
lesson7　Biological pump (KW: transport and decomposition of particulate substances, sediment trap observation)
lesson8　Paleoceanography (KW: carbon cycle during the glacial/inter-glacial periods)
lesson9　Atmospheric chemistry (LW: methane, freon, aerosol)
lesson10　Radiochemistry (KW: Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, ocean research)
lesson11　Seafloor sediment (KW: geology, sedimentation rate, carbonate, acidification)
lesson12　Ocean plastic issue (KW: Plastic, ocean plastic garbage, micro plastic)
lesson13　Ocean observation (KW: ship observation, mooring observation, satellite observation, drifting buoy)
lesson14　Ocean change and geoengineering (KW: warming, acidification, oxygenation, ocean carbon dioxide removal: mCDR)
lesson15　Final examination (KW: group discussion, presentation)

Practical Experience Experienced

Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it Visiting lecturers can give lectures based on his practical experience (ocean observation) as a scientist who belongs to the national research and development agency.

Message This lecture will focus on “global environmental issues” with a focus on the “ocean”, so there is no need for students to be an expert on the “ocean”. In addition, although the focus is on understanding the “chemical characteristics of the ocean”, there is minimal memorization of chemical symbols and chemical formulas that are unique to “chemistry”, so even if students are not good at “chemistry” (not a major) It is possible to understand the content even if there is no such thing. Students who are interested in the ability to control the global environment and one of the blessings of the sea are very welcome to this course.
