개요 Outlines

인류는 지구로부터 참으로 많은 것을 받으며 살아간다. 안온한 환경, 풍부한 에너지 자원과 수자원, 그리고 다양한 광물과 암석 자원들. 이것들은 모두 지구가 주는 선물이지만, 무한정 주어지는 것이 아니며, 누리는 만큼 그만한 대가를 지불하여야 한다. 인류가 겪는 지진, 사태, 홍수, 화산 폭발과 같은 자연재해, 지구온난화, 수질 및 토양 오염과 같은 환경 재해, 그리고 각종 질병들이 바로 그 대가들이다. 이 강의는 우리가 지구로부터 얻는 많은 혜택과 그 것이 주는 부작용에 대해 전반적으로 이해하고, 이를 바탕으로 보다 지속적인 자원 이용과 환경 보존이 왜 필요한지를 깨닫도록 하기 위한 것이다.

Human beings thrive on lot of resources given by the mother Earth. Cozy environment, more than enough energy, water, and mineral resources; all of the aforementioned resources are the presents the Earth is giving to us, but they ceratinly have a limit and we have to pay back something in return. Think of those natural disasters like earthquakes, landslides, floodings, and volcanic eruptions, and environmental disasters, including global warming, water and soil degradation, and various kinds of diseases. These are just part of the prices we have to pay for enjoying the gift from the Earth. This course is to help students understand how those beneficil presents from the Earth require costly sacrifice we have to trade in. thus the significance of the sustainable resource management and environment preservation to minimize the impact from the darkside.
