GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL ECOLOGY

지구생태계의 생물적 요소와 비생물적 요소의 상호관계를 이해하고, 여러 가지 인위적 활동에 의해 직접, 간접적으로 야기된 환경문제가 생태학적으로 어떠한 영향을 미치며, 근본적 원인 해결을 위한 방안을 학습한다.

You will understand the following items at the end of this course, 1. The flow of energy from the lower trophic level to the higher trophic level in the ocean. 2. Examples showing the influences of global warming on the oceanic ecosystem. 3. The climate regime shift happened in the atmosphere and ocean and its influence on fisheries resources.

In the former part of this course, I will give lectures about the primary productivity in the ocean, secondary productivity, and energy flow in the oceanic food chain. In the latter half, I will show some results in the scientific papers and talk about the influence of climate change on fisheries and fish catches. The lecture is mainly held using PowerPoint. The new words in the handout will be checked at the beginning of each lecture. I also give the review quizzes from the contents of the previous lecture. The questions are shown on the screen, and students answer orally. The additional points will be given to the student who answers the quizzes. Furthermore, XO quizzes will be given four times during this course. The followings are requests for students who attend this course. 1. Please be on time and don't go out during the lecture, or you will be assumed as "late" or "absent." 2. Don't use your cell phone during the lecture. You will be treated as absent if you receive a call in the classroom. 3. Don't eat or drink anything during the lecture.

'Class contribution' means the sum of special points you got in this semester. The points are given when you show positive actions like below. 1. when we check the meanings of new terms on the screen and you tell the answer in 5 seconds. 2. when you answer the reviewing quizzes. 3. when you mention something or answer my questions in English during lecture time. 4. in the case you get 1st -3rd places in mid-term/final exam 5. if you ask something about the lecture. (visit my office / send email, message, Kakao-talk…) 6. No tardiness, No absence (except allowed absences by the university) 7. If you are a student who enrolled in this course from other majors.

It is better that you take this couse after you study "자원생물학 (25365-01)" in the 1st semester. This course will be held in English, and the distributed handouts will be written in English. I will upload the handouts to the '교수학습지원시스탬 .' Please download and print them out before the lecture. The students attending this course must prepare for the next lesson. I prohibit the usage of the electronic dictionary in the examinations since many students pointed out the possibility of cheating. Please prepare the word lists distributed in the class or an English paper dictionary in advance.

Students who attend this class will get knowledge about the environmental issues related to the ocean and fisheries. At the same time, you will learn technical English in the field of the environment through reading handouts or listening to lectures.
