Welcome to the Chikyu Onboard International School. It is the first time for us to hold the school for international IODP community. I’m very glad to be here with you come from all over the world. As you know, Chikyu is one of IODP platform as well as JOIDES Resolution of US and Mission Specific Platform of ECORD. After Chikyu’s first IODP expedition in 2007,she has unveiled unexplored fields in earth sciences such as mega-earthquake zone research, sub-seafloor biosphere research and submarine mineral resources research.
I expect you will experience Chikyu’s onboard research same as onboard scientists. I would like to ask you to share your experiences during this school with your communities. Please enjoy your stay on Chikyu.
