| Outline and Purpose of the Course | In this course, students will learn the advanced concepts of the environmental biophysics, a quantitative approach to plant-environment interactions. It presents a discussion on heat and mass transfer, and exchange processes between forest ecosystems and their surroundings. Students will also learn the skills to process and analyse the filed data concerning on these exchange processes. | ||
| Course Goals | Students will gain an understanding of the biophysical perspectives and techniques employed in recent academic studies and develop the practical skills that allow them to apply the knowledge they have acquired, in order to tackle the challenging problems of today that relate to environmental science, an interdisciplinary field. | ||
| Schedule and Contents |
About two or three classes will be spent on each of the topics listed below. We will introduce the most current studies and techniques related to each topic. In addition, students will engage in exercises related to the topics.Students have to finish and submit the delivered exercises for all of each topics. 1. reviews of recent studies on environmental biophysics -method instruction and delivering（1 time, Kosugi & Sakabe) (7/3 Friday,5) 2. The basics of environmental biophysics and the unit exchange（2 times, Kosugi) (7/27 Monday,1,2) 3. Analysing the relashionship with microenvironmenta（2 times, Kosugi) (7/27 Monday,3,4) 4.
