Outline (in English)

【Course outline】
Geoscience is generally known as a natural science covering the earth and its lithosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere, including astronomy in the case of school education. This course is a continuation of Chigaku-Gairon-I (Introduction to Geoscience I). Students will learn not only the natural science aspects of geoscience, but also the sociological contributions of geoscience, such as the assessment of the impact of natural disasters on human activities.

【Learning Objectives】
The goal is to understand the relationship between the Earth and humankind, including how life on Earth was born and evolved, the structure of the atmosphere and oceans, climate change caused by changes in these structures, and natural disasters brought about by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and various other phenomena on the Earth. In addition, students will be exposed to news and science programs related to geoscience on a regular basis and will acquire an attitude of knowing the latest developments in science beyond the scope of ordinary textbooks.

【Learning activities outside of classroom】
Students are expected to gather information on recent topics related to natural disaster news and government disaster prevention measures through newspapers, magazines, the Internet, and other media, and use this information to prepare reports and other materials. The standard preparation and review time for this class is 2 hours each.
