Title
ULTRA-DEEP DRILLING INTO ARC CRUST
~genesis of continental crust in volcanic arcs~
Workshop in Hawaii
Date
17-21 September, 2012
Venue
Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa, Kona, Hawaii, USA

Scientific Objectives

This workshop aims to gather a wide range of geophysicists, geologists, geochemists and petrologists who are interested in the nature of arc crust and how it is modified in collision zones and preserved in continental crust. Our goal is to discuss the merits, methods and implications of "ULTRA-DEEP DRILLING INTO ARC CRUST", and the best place for such drilling.

D/V Chikyu has the ability to drill into the middle crust of intra-oceanic arcs where juvenile continental crust exists but has never been directly sampled. Our prime objectives are to explore the realm of the unknown and further elucidate the genesis of continental crust.

"ULTRA-DEEP DRILLING INTO ARC CRUST" is the best way to sample unprocessed juvenile continental-type crust, to observe these active processes that produce the nuclei of new continental crust, and to examine the nature of juvenile continental crust as first generated at intra-oceanic arcs.
