The Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) and IODP Management International (IODP-MI) announce the international planning workshop “CHIKYU+10” to be held April 21-23, 2013 in Tokyo, Japan.
The purpose of the workshop is to engage the international community in a discussion of potential future scientific missions using the deep-sea drilling vessel (D/V) Chikyu within the context of the new Illuminating Earth’s Past, Present, and Future: The International Ocean Discovery Program Science Plan for 2013-2023 and the post-2013 framework for scientific ocean drilling platform provision and international collaboration. Workshop outcomes will be considered by JAMSTEC in long-range planning for Chikyu operations.
Meeting goals, themes, format, and the application process for participation will be widely publicized following a Steering Committee meeting later this year. Early inquiries can be sent to chikyu10_at_iodp.org
