| Schedule and Contents |
Establishing a research theme Using the basic knowledge they acquired during their undergraduate studies, students will gain an in-depth understanding of the most current studies on relevant topics, and select their research theme. Students will prepare a research plan based on the theme they have selected and learn the skills and techniques needed to conduct research. Conducting research and experiments, analyzing results, and writing a scientific paper Students will gain the research experience required to become a researcher by conducting experiments, analyzing results, comparing the results with previous knowledge, delivering oral presentations, and writing an academic paper. While students will conduct their field experiments primarily in the oceans and coasts, they will also be using various techniques to supplement their field experiments, such as numerical models, water tank experiments, and chemical analysis. Students will choose their research theme based on their areas of interest and background knowledge after consulting with their research supervisor. Preparation of a research plan: 5 sessions (Mitamura) Review of past studies: 5 sessions (Ichikawa, Kimura) Surveys and experiments: 5 sessions (Kobayashi); 5 sessions (Mitamura, Kume) Summary of research results: 5 sessions (Ichikawa); 5 sessions (Kobayashi) |
