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.
