Environmental issues in river basin (historical accidents, countermeasures and technologies) are introduced. Experiences of international cooperation are also given by experts and researchers to think how they should be. This lecture thereby aims to transport knowledge on environmental science to younger generations and develop their ability for practical solution. Japanese and oversea students study together through group work on some topics. English is potentially used.

Environmental issues and the applied methodologies are outlined specifically on terrestrial environments such as groundwater, river or lake. Natural and human-induced water contents, estimations of pollutant load and health risk/guideline, modeling water quality incorporated with infiltration/flow/runoff processes are discussed. English is potentially used.

The aim of the lecture is to learn the elements of hydrology and water resources to understand the water cycle and river basin environments. The lecture starts by describing basic equations of fluid motion and water dynamics modeling through lectures and exercises. The lecture deals with not only the natural water cycle but also artificial control including reservoirs and irrigations. The lecture also deals with the current problems and prospects of water resources, including water environments and water usage. The lecture is mainly given in English.

The purpose of this lecture is to learn the purification/remediation technologies for polluted soil and water. They include physicochemical technology, biological technology, and ecological technology for removal of organic compounds, nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), microplastic, and persistent organic pollutants. In this lecture, we will learn the technologies for energy/material recovery from solid waste/wastewater.

In this lecture, students will learn the integrated river basin management and regional planning to solve the local water issues. This lecture deals with the management of floods / sediments within basin, water hazard risk estimation for disaster reduction, and environmental assessment / cost-benefit analysis for river basin environment and water resources. The lecture is mainly given in English.

The purpose of this class is to understand the basics of environmental statistics which is essential in environmental science researches. This class contains a variety of topics, such as basic statistics, probability distribution, analysis of variance, regression analysis, and multivariate analysis. Japanese and oversea students study together through group work. English is potentially used.

This course provides basic theories and techniques to analyze environmental information, including remote sensing, GIS. Japanese and oversea students study together through work group on some topics. English is potentially used.
