International Workshop: What can be done with seafloor observation networks?
- Dates:
- March 10 and 11, 2008
- Host institutions:
- JAMSTEC and ERI, Univ. Tokyo
- Place:
- Tokyo Office of JAMSTEC
- Scope:
- Seafloor observation networks are now under construction in Japan, North America and Europe. In this workshop, researchers from the construction side and from user side meet together to discuss what can be done by the network data, how efficiently the data should be distributed among various communities, and what may be the future directions of seafloor networks. The workshop may end with mutual agreement on how to collaborate internationally.
- Co-conveners:
- Barbara Romanowicz (UC Berkeley)
- Hisashi Utada (Univ. Tokyo)
- Yoshio Fukao (IFREE, JAMSTEC)
- Yoshiyuki Kaneda (DONET, JAMSTEC)
- Co-sponsor:
- Japan Geoscience Union
