Think globally, Act locally

This year is the 10th anniversary of the foundation of the Graduate School of Environmental Studies. The school was established in April 2003 to promote the education and research for energy and resource recycling in order to support a recycling society in the future.

When it was founded, the phrase “environmental issue” was all about public pollution and the behavioral suppression of people for the ecosystem. Under such circumstances, the energy and resource problems that our school advocated was not considered to be environmental issues. After 10 years, the global warming issue has come up to the surface, and energy issues have been considered to be global environmental issues. It has become imperative to convert from a fossil-energy based society to emission-free based society, and to encourage introducing new energy systems. The movement for the renewable energy based society including project called smart house and smart city is now active. Gradually, our main concept on renewable energy technology and energy recycling has started to be admitted to be essential for protecting the global environment and for constructing a sustainable society in the future.

One of the major breakthroughs was to convert gasoline-based vehicles, which consume great amounts of fossil energy, to hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles, and this conversion led to the development of electric motors and rechargeable batteries for vehicles. It seems that we are now in the middle of an innovative period; in other words, an automobile revolution. The conventional concept has been changed that vehicles are powered not only by gasoline but also electricity. Along with this concept, lots of rare-earth elements that have been disregarded became necessary, as well as lithium, the main material of rechargeable batteries. We are now focused on not only recycling vehicles but also recycling these elements. The time for a resource recycling society has come.

It is becoming more natural to automatically think of recycling energy and resources these days. Considering the last 10 years, I think our school’ s theme is to change with the times and to constantly deal with tasks by focusing on the future.

The Graduate School of Environmental Studies was founded at the discretion of former President Abe of Tohoku University, who had foresight of our current environmental situation, and we have been making efforts since its establishment. In the next 10 years, we would like to pursue further development to foresee and provide the latest technologies and social systems the next generation will need.

Finally, we would like to thank you for your continuous cooperation and support.

Professor

It is essential to view science and technology as disciplines that can peacefully coexist with the environment. Such a view necessitates a paradigm shift toward a new perspective that differs from those of past centuries. The Graduate School of Environmental Studies was established in April 2003 to play a responsible role in constructing future-evolutional social systems through spreading new environmental coexistence-based state-of-the-art academic research to the world as a university that possesses advanced scientific and technological knowledge.The Graduate School of Environmental Studies is intended to create a social system that can become

bases of a cultural and recycle-based society which supports sustainable development by integrating the "knowledge" of Tohoku University as a comprehensive university. In order to train people to acquire high-level knowledge and skills and to become individuals who can tackle myriad challenges on a global scale in the 21st century, we strive:

▶ To construct an environmental science including environmental management that integrates the humanities and science;

▶ To train people to acquire high and comprehensive competence and become able to serve active roles in international society;

▶ To implement education and research to pursue sustainability of human life space;▶ To implement education and research to analyze environmental issues from diverse perspectives, taking regional and ethnic factors into consideration;

▶ To implement education and research for the construction of an energy system that is in harmony with the environment;

▶ To implement education and research for the creation of an efficient recovery and utilization system of materials and biotechnology that can coexist with nature;

▶ To implement education and research for the creation of new recyclable resources and reproductive technologies that support a recycle-based society; and

▶ To implement education and research for the planning of an environmental creation scheme in order to build symbiotic social structures.

Regional Environment and Socio-Cultural Studies

Many environmental problems have arisen around the World. To resolve these problems, it is necessary to consider a range of regional environmental and social / cultural issues. In this integrated course, we elucidate the interrelationship between Man and the environment, and development of a sustainable socio-cultural system.

We investigate a range of geographical, political and economics systems, to highlight the interaction between historical, cultural and social systems and the natural environment. Furthermore, the students will be taught to objectively and critically consider the effects of industrial development on the environment.

Education

Ecomaterial Design and Process Engineering

Here, we offer a comprehensive course, which includes an evaluation of the environmental burden caused by industrial production and processes, the development of material production processes that have a benign effect on the environment, and material functionalization technologies. We use the life cycle assessment (LCA) method to evaluate the load and environmental impact caused by the manufacture, use, and disposal of industrial products. This course on material production and processes focuses on aspects of material recycling technology, including assessment of problems associated with present processes, and design of new environmentally friendly processes. Tuition related to functional materials relate to the design of materials and surfaces that play an important role in environment.

In this study, students are systematically introduced to the way physical chemistry and chemical engineering is used to protect the environment. The course describes molecular transformation and chemical reaction processes that are designed to avoid discharge of unfriendly material to the environment; efficient chemical reactions that detoxify environmentally unfriendly materials; technologies that efficiently utilize or reuse natural resources (such as various chemical substances, fossil fuel, biomass, etc); and technologies to chemically monitor environmentally unfriendly materials. In addition, students learn about the environment and ecological / life cycles, in order to recognize the relationships between chemical processes within the body and interactions between the environment and functions of living organisms.
