NDHU CESO offers Taiwan's first interdisciplinary MSc program for Humanity and Environmental Science through partnership with NDHU College of Humanities and Social Sciences and NDHU College of Indigenous Studies, and co-offer Future Earth Ecology Program with NTU and NTHU to nurture Taiwan's naturalist. NDHU CESO also has partnership with Nepal Ministry of Forests and Environment on environmental education training.

History

Prior to foundation

Graduate Institute of Natural Resources Management (1994-2009) NDHU Graduate Institute of Natural Resource Management (GINRM) was established in 1994 as NDHU's founding institute and is affiliated with NDHU School of Management. It was the pioneer in the field of natural resource management in Taiwan. GINRM was founded by Dr. Hsu Kuo-Shih, the Founding Director of Taroko National Park, with a focus on natural resource management and nature conservation. Following rapid growth in the academic field of natural resource tourism and Environmental governance, it branched out to establish the Graduate Institute of Environmental Policy (GIEP) and Graduate Institute of Tourism and Recreation Management (GITRM).

Graduate Institute of Environmental Policy (1999-2009) NDHU Graduate Institute of Environmental Policy (GIEP) was established in 1999. It was founded by Dr.Wang Hurng-Jyuhn, a Taiwan's scholar in environmental policy, and was Taiwan's first institute dedicated to environmental policy research. Its main focuses are environmental policy, environmental management, and sustainable development strategies, and Environmental governance between human societies and ecological environments.

Foundation

College of Environmental Studies (2009-2022) With merger of National Dong Hwa University and National Hualien University of Education, NDHU College of Environmental Studies (CES) and Department of Natural Resource and Environmental Studies (NRES) was founded in 2009 through merger of Graduate Institute of Natural Resources Management, Graduate Institute of Environmental Policy, Graduate Institute of Ecological and Environmental Education, Graduate Institute of Earth Sciences, and Graduate Institute of Biological Resources and Technology from both university.

College of Marine Sciences (2005-2022)

NDHU College of Marine Sciences (CMS) was established in 2005 as a graduate school for Marine Sciences and Marine Biology. NDHU CMS was an academic partnership between National Dong Hwa University and National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium (NMMBA) in Kenting National Park, which set the first record on academic collaboration between higher education and museum in Taiwan. Meanwhile, it founded Graduate Institute of Marine Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology and Graduate Institute of Marine Biotechnology to leverage research resources from NMMBA.

Nowaday With interdisciplinary trend of sustainability studies for Environmental Studies and Oceanography, NDHU College of Environmental Studies and Oceanography was established through merger of NDHU College of Environmental Studies and College of Marine Sciences in 2022.

Research centers

Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Ecology and Sustainability (CIRES) The Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Ecology and Sustainability (CIRES) was established in 2020. CIRES aims to become a Asia's regional center platform for scientific exchange and collaborative research to promote resilience studies in social-ecological systems, advance the governance of social-ecological systems, and thereby address the increasingly severe environmental, social, and economic issues under the impact of global change.

Eastern Taiwan Earthquake Research Center (E-TEC) With Support from National Science and Technology Council, NDHU Eastern Taiwan Earthquake Research Center was established through a collaborative effort of several academic institutions, including NDHU CESO, Central Weather Bureau, Academia Sinica Institute of Earth Sciences, National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering, Central Geological Survey, National Taiwan University, National Cheng Kung University, and National Central University. NDHU E-TEC serves as an integrated platform and a vital research hub for earthquake studies in eastern Taiwan. With its distinguished location on the continental collision between Philippine Sea Plate and Eurasian Plate in eastern Taiwan, making NDHU E-TEC an optimal natural laboratory for earthquake research. Particularly, the Huadong Valley, situated in the plate collision and subduction transition zone, is the region with the highest earthquake frequency in Taiwan. The establishment of NDHU E-TEC, in collaboration with national research resources and NDHU CESO, enables more precise observation and analysis of eastern Taiwan's geophysical structures, assesses potential major earthquake threats, and plays a crucial role in Taiwan's earthquake early warning, data integration, precursory research, and disaster prevention applications.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with NDHU College of Environmental Studies and Oceanography

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what NDHU College of Environmental Studies and Oceanography claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In earth science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to NDHU College of Environmental Studies and Oceanography before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about NDHU College of Environmental Studies and Oceanography ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of NDHU College of Environmental Studies and Oceanography

In research: NDHU College of Environmental Studies and Oceanography appears in earth science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses NDHU College of Environmental Studies and Oceanography in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: NDHU College of Environmental Studies and Oceanography is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2009 establishments in Taiwan, Educational institutions established in 2009, Environmental research institutes, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for NDHU College of Environmental Studies and Oceanography outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
