Class Objectives
/Class Outline Today, various technology and chemical materials make our lives affluent. On the other hands, the global environmental problems that caused from them threaten our lives and society. These global environmental problems have various technical background as well as historical and social backgrounds. In this course, we will learn basic concepts of nature environment, such as atmosphere, ocean, river, earth crust, material cycle and their dynamics. We will study the impacts of the technology and chemical materials on nature environment and our society with their technical, historical and social transition and backgrounds.
