教学目标 Course Objectives
地球是人类的家园，是人类赖以生存的唯一星球。人类生存与可持续发展所涉及的一系列重要问题，如全球气候变
化的应对（国际碳中和宣言），自然灾害的防御，深地、深空和海洋资源的勘探与开发，环境污染的治理等等，都与现代
地球科学有关，了解和保护我们的蓝色宜居星球是全世界每个国家、每个人应有的意识和责任。本课程主要介绍宇宙、银
河系以及行星系统的起源与演化，生命的起源与演化， 地球内部圈层、地表环境、大气和海洋各个圈层之间的相互联系
和相互作用，全球气候变化起因与现状，以及人类社会发展对地球系统的影响。通过本课程的学习，大学生将对与地球科
学相关的基础前沿问题以及人类社会可持续发展所面临的问题有一个基本的了解和认识。
The earth is the homeland of human beings and the only planet on which human beings live. Global major issues relevant
to human survival and sustainable development, such as the mitigation of global climate change (International carbon neutrality
declaration), defence against natural disasters, exploration and development of deep-earth, deep ocean, and deep-space resources,
environmental pollution control and etc., are all the research topics of Earth science. Understanding and protecting our blue habitable
planet is every nation’s and every citizen’s responsibility. This course mainly introduces the origin and evolution of our universe,
3
our galaxy and our planetary systems, the origin and evolution of life on the Earth, the interaction between the solid Earth, surface
environment, atmosphere, and oceans, the origin and current status of global climate change, and the impact of human social
development on the Earth system. After taking this course, students will have a basic understanding of frontier topics in earth science
and the problems faced by the sustainable development of human society.
