Modern civilization based on advanced technology makes improper use of resources and causes environmental pollution so that today, the natural environment is being destroyed on a global scale and the survival of life is threatened.
Students on this course learn scientific methods for observing and measuring the natural environment which is the foundation of life, monitoring and analyzing the impact of environmental disturbance caused by human activity on natural ecosystems, and methods of preventing and ameliorating environmental degradation. It seeks to foster people who can actively work to protect the biological resources of the earth and the natural environment.
| Research Laboratories | Main Subject |
|---|---|
|
Ecosystem Conservation |
We are trying to elucidate the characteristics of shallow water ecosystems and to determine what can be done for better management for the sustainable existence of human beings and other living organisms. |
|
Fish Reproductive Physiology |
Studies of the molecular control mechanisms of spermatogenesis and oogenesis in aquatic animals, and establishment of the applied techniques in aquaculture based on the basic studies. |
|
Marine Molecular Ecology |
Studies on marine biogeochemical cycles, microbial oceanography, and aquatic microbial ecology. |
|
Applied Chemistry for Environmental Industry |
Aquatic and soil environmental science and remediation by investigation at atomic and molecular level. |
|
Environmental Analytical Chemistry |
We develop chemical measurements and ecotoxicological tests for environmental micropollutants and survey their environmental distributions and ecological impacts to elucidate their environmental fate and ecological risk. Besides, we evaluate and propose environmental sound waste treatment/recycling and effluent management to promote a sound material-cycle society. |
| Environmental Science for Industry |
Research and development of analytical methods and treatment methods for environmental pollutants, and utilization technology of biomass and waste. |
