"Environmental Assessment is an important tool for public and private development and planning decisions toward creating a sustainable society. In this course, students learn EIA theories, methods, regulations and its historical process with several case studies. Scientific aspects such as predictions and evaluation methods as well as democratic aspects relating to public participation will be explained. We will also explore "strategic environmental assessment” as new areas of Environmental Assessment."

This class provides a general introduction to the diverse roles of microorganisms in natural and artificial environments. It will cover topics including: cellular architecture, energetics, and growth; evolution and gene flow; population and community dynamics; water and soil microbiology; biogeochemical cycling; and microorganisms in biodeterioration and bioremediation.

Aquatic Environmental Chemistry is an important branch of Environmental Chemistry, and it mainly focuses on formation, distribution and cycling procedures of various elements, compounds (natural and anthropogenic), as well as the relationships with other environmental media, clearly reflecting multi-discipline of geo-science and chemistry. The earth aquatic environment mainly includes territorial water body and seawater body, characterized by close association and significant difference. Since global industrialization, the influences from human activities have been far stronger than those from most natural procedures, and aquatic environment has been an extremely important receiver for large amounts of various pollutants emitted. It plays a critical role in controlling transport, transform, fate, as well as related biological and ecological effects (such as deformation, carcinogenicity and mutagenicity) at different spatial and temporal scales.

This course introduces the basic concepts and methodology of environmental sciences, as well as the main characters of earth environmental system, pollution in different environmental medias (air, water, soil, etc.), ecological problems, global environmental problems, and environmental disasters. The course could help the students to learn the basic features of environmental sciences, and provide assistance for them to carry out scientific research, teaching and other works in the future. It could also provide a basis for further studies on other follow-up courses in environmental science fields.

This course explores basic theories, pollution control technologies, and pollution control engineering in current Environmental Engineering practices. Upon successful completion of the course, students will master the basic theories and methods of pollution control engineering and prevention technology.
