Introduction to Polar Space Science
Summary
Lecture Objectives
- The polar upper atmosphere is the atmospheric region of approximately 60 ~ 1,000 km altitude and as a part of the near-Earth’s space environment, various space weather phenomena as well as the aurora occur. Furthermore, it is known that the space environment including the polar upper atmosphere is closely related to the climate changes. This class introduces the near-Earth’s space environment such as the Sun, solar wind, and the magnetosphere in addition to the polar upper atmospheric phenomena including the aurora. In addition, this class introduces the astrobiology research.

Advanced Polar Upper Atmosphere
Summary
Lecture Objectives
- Various forms of the energy from the Sun enter into the polar upper atmosphere through the solar wind and the magnetosphere. The polar upper atmosphere includes the mesosphere, the thermosphere and the ionosphere in the polar region. This class introduces various physical phenomena occurring in the ionosphere, thermosphere and the mesosphere in the polar region.

Polar Marine Biology
Summary
Lecture Objectives
- This course focus on marine life in the polar region. Being based on the marine biology which studies diversity, distribution, and adaptation to the marine environment, it will deal with the unique characteristics of marine life living in the extreme polar marine environments. Through this course, a fundamental knowledge of the characteristics, adaptation mechanism and metabolism of polar life can be obtained.

Space Exploration and the Polar Environment
Summary
Lecture Objectives
- This lecture will introduce the extreme environmental factors that must be
considered when operating research equipment in polar regions and unmanned equipment
currently operating in polar regions. We will also learn strategies to prevent microbial
contamination of space exploration equipment, and practice artificial intelligence-based data
analysis and statistics for effective space exploration.

Ocean-Atmosphere Interactions
Summary
Lecture Objectives
- The ocean accounts for 70% of the global surface and acts as the most important source and sink of diverse climate-related compound. This lecture aims to understand the mechanism of ocean-atmosphere exchanges with particular focus on climate-related trace gases and particles. The lecture will cover 1) the ocean-atmosphere exchange of short-lived trace gases, 2) mechanisms of interfacial exchange, 3) ocean-atmosphere exchange of the greenhouse gases, 4) ocean-atmosphere exchange of particles, 5) current and future data collection and synthesis efforts.
