Dear all who are interested in Hard Rock drilling into the ocean floor,
We would like to announce a Pre-AGU workshop on Hard Rock drilling by CHIKYU from 1 PM to 5:30 PM on December 14th in San Francisco.
The main goals of the workshop are (1) to share information about the current and/or future proposals and related concerns using CHIKYU and (2) to discuss pre proposal on the western Pacific outer rise to be submitted to the IODP in Spring 2015
We also will briefly introduce the results of the International Workshop for Large-scale Research Cruises on 6-7b Nov, 2014, at JAMSTEC.
