| DESCRIPTION | The biogeochemical cycle in the ocean is not only governed by the chemical and biological processes, but also regulated critically by the physical processes in the ocean. The topics of this course cover ocean circulation and biogeochemical dynamics, marine phytoplankton and zooplankton, biogeochemical response to circulation dynamics in the ocean. |

| DESCRIPTION | This course addresses foundational theories, knowledge, and current challenges within the broad and interdisciplinary field of watershed biogeochemistry, focusing on the biogeochemical, hydrological, and ecological connections across the land-air-water continuum in watersheds. General themes will be explored through lectures on basic theories and discussions of recent literature. More specific questions and methodological approaches will be introduced using hands-on practices and excursions to field sites. This course will enhance students' understanding of water, carbon, and nutrient cycling along the terrestrial-aquatic interface. |

| DESCRIPTION | Our generations face rapid global environmental changes resulting from rising human interventions to the air, water, land and climate. Addressing crucial contemporary environmental challenge requires an interdisciplinary mind set that recognizes the interconnections among environmental problems, as well as the science of their causes, potential technological solutions and policy instruments. This is a course covering selected topics in cutting-edge earth system studies and the science, technology and policy aspects, in order to equip students with both knowledge and analytical tools for approaching pressing environmental problems. Topics include planetary boundaries and sustainable development goals, the reactive nitrogen cycle, global land use change, biodiversity losses, transboundary air pollution, co-mitigation of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, international trade and environmental justice, etc. Through guided literature reading, seminar discussions, group presentations and projects, students will develop critical thinking skills, interdisciplinary research design capabilities, and passion for sustainable development, which could be adopted for their own future research. |

| DESCRIPTION | How will life on Earth withstand the combined pressures of climate change, habitat loss, and invasive species? Global Change Biology addresses this urgent challenge by applying core ecological principles to interpret and predict nature's responses. We will move beyond cataloging environmental problems to uncover the ecological rules governing how species and ecosystems respond to stress. This course emphasizes the interconnectedness of global change threats and trains students to apply ecological thinking to real-world biosecurity challenges. The goal is to equip students with the knowledge to develop solutions for preserving biodiversity, securing food systems, and protecting public health in an era of rapid global change. |
