Lecture Timetable and Syllabus (2013)

The timetable shown in this page is for the school year of 2013. The schedule is changed year by year, but it does not change much except for the short-term intensive lectures. Please see the Japanese version of this page for the schedule of this year.

The lecture names that appear are standard classes taken by graduate students for this course

Please check the class syllabus here. (Though we try to minimize, errors do occur, thus please see the syllabus or fundamental policy and class courses page)

The Graduate School of Environmental Science uses quarter system (i.e., there are 4 terms each year). Because the date of each quarter depends on the day of the week, please refer to the academic calendar.

1st quarter(Apr. 3 – Jun.7)
2nd quarter(Jun. 4 – Aug.2)
3rd quarter(Oct. 2 – Nov. 28)
4th quarter(Nov.29 – Feb.3)
Intensive Courses

Other related courses or special lectures are denoted with [ ]. Because there are several other available lectures for the Earth System Science major, please refer to the syllabus for further details.
