| Outline and Purpose of the Course | With the theme of conservation of the geosphere environment and contamination countermeasures, lectures are given on the current situation of surrounding groundwater both in Japan and abroad, sustainable groundwater use from the viewpoint of groundwater quality, various global environmental problems related to the geosphere environment, countermeasures, and so forth. In particular, geostatistics, which is a field of spatial statistics, used as a method of investigating the contamination of soil among other things, will be described in detail from its theoretical foundation to application. Additionally, the programming for analyzing spatial data in geostatistics, and the programming method by Excel VBA through a numerical simulation program related to groundwater pollution using Excel VBA will be explained. | |||
| Course Goals | Recognizing the importance of groundwater in Japan and abroad, understanding the basics of geostatistics for estimating the spatial distribution of soil and groundwater contamination, and the foundation of numerical simulation on groundwater pollution. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
Current state of domestic and overseas groundwater (1 time) The usage situation of groundwater in Japan and abroad and its importance will be outlined. Sustainable groundwater usage method (1 time) Through examples of degradation of groundwater quality in the Kyoto basin, the method of sustainable groundwater use will be outlined from a qualitative point of view. Geosphere environment and global environmental issues (1 time) In particular, the global environmental problems in the geosphere environment will be outlined. Introduction to VBA (1 time) In particular, the programming method of Excel VBA that is necessary for numerical calculation in a way that is easy to understand by FORTRAN users will be outlined. Introduction to geostatistics 1 (1 time) The analysis procedure of spatial data by geostatistics and the method of data review as the first procedure will be outlined. Introduction to geostatistics 2 (1 time) The importance of the variogram as a statistical structure of the field and how to obtain it will be outlined. Introduction to geostatistics 3 (1 time) The spatial distribution and the method of kriging to estimate its uncertainty will be outlined. Introduction to geostatistics 4 (1 time) The statistical processing method when there is a lot of data below the detection limit and overranged data will be outlined. Introduction to geostatistics 5 (1 time) Cokriging and its simplified method for estimating the spatial distribution using several types of data will be outlined. Introduction to geostatistics 6 (1 time) A conditional simulation method as a simulation method considering spatial uncertainty and its usage will be outlined. Chemistry and simulation of soil and groundwater (1 time) The fundamentals of chemistry to understand the relation between soil pollution and groundwater contamination, as well as the method to simulate the change of groundwater quality will be outlined. Introduction to groundwater simulation (4 times) The basics of numerical simulations on groundwater contamination will be outlined. |
