RESOURCE BIOLOGY

환경문제와 자원문제는 이 시대를 대표하는 문제이다. 환경변화에 의해 많은 생물종들이 절멸되고 있다. 생물종들은 그 자체로서 중요한 자원이다. 특히, 인구문제, 식량자원문제, 수자원문제, 에너지자원문제 등에 깊이 관련되어 있다. 자원생물학은 생물의 자원적 역할을 인식하고 주요한 자원생물문제에 대하여 해결 방안을 모색하고 미래의 세계를 전망해 봄으로써 환경과 생물자원에 대한 체계적이며, 포괄적인 접근을 시도한다.

You will understand the following items at the end of this course, 1. The relationship between primary productivity in the ocean and the surrounding environments. 2. The variety of phytoplankton species and the dominance related to the environmental changes. 3. The spatial distribution of primary productivity in the world ocean. 4. The technical terms of the biological oceanographic field in English and Korean.

The lecture is mainly given using the Power Point. At the beginning of a lecture, the new words in the handout will be checked together. Next, I will give the review quizzes from the contents of last 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, true/false quizzes (10 questions/time, paper) will be given once for five or six lecture times.

*Attendance will be checked just to count the number of absence equivalent of score ‘F’. Absence exceeding 1/3 ---> 0 points, within 1/3 ---> 10 points

This course will be held in English, and the distributed hand-outs are written in English also. You should prepare an English dictionary. And you are suggested to check the contents of the hand-out in advance. I prohibit usage of electronic dictionary in examinations since many students pointed out the possibility of cheating. Please prepare a paper English dictionary in advance.

Students who attend this class will get the knowledge about the dynamics of oceanic primary productivity that is affected by global climate changes. At same time, you will learn the technical English terms in the biological oceanography field through reading hand-outs, listening the lectures and answering the quizzes.
