Japan Marine Science and Technology Center Outline of Activities observation research using radioisotopes, and in fiscal year the Institute began operations at the RI facility after receiving approval from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology to use radioisotopes. Operation of the RI facility at the Institute is shown in Table . Management of the sealed radiation source of the radioactive instruments (gas chromatograph ECD display and gamma ray density meter) on the "MIRAI" was transferred from the Safety Control Division to Mutsu Institute for Oceanography at the end of August . 3. YOKOHAMA Institute for Earth Sciences In July , the Subcommittee on Earth Science and Technology of the Council for Aeronautics, Electronics and Other Advanced Technologies, of the former Science and Technology Agency (current Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology), issued a report, entitled "Toward the Realization of Global Change Prediction." This report recommended promotion of a research and development study toward understanding and forecasting global change, incorporating three functions: observation research, model study, and simulation study. In fiscal , JAMSTEC was enabled, by the third supplementary budget for fiscal , to participate in the Earth Simulator Project, led by the former Science and Technology Agency. The project had actually been promoted by the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) and the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA). To promote the Earth Simulator Project, JAMSTEC intended to obtain an appropriate site to construct necessary facilities. Through mediation by the Science and Technology Promotion Division of the Planning Department of the Kanagawa Prefectural Government, JAMSTEC was able to obtain the site of former Kanagawa Prefectural Industrial Research Institute. JAMSTEC decided to build the YOKOHAMA Institute for Earth Sciences on this site, with the facilities for the Earth Simulator constituting the core, equipped with functions to disseminate information on global change, and on the results of research work on the ocean and the solid earth.

JAMSTEC 2002 Annual Report Outline of Activities Yokohama Institute for Earth Sciences covers a total area of ,m , and consists of the Frontier Research Building, Exchange Building, Simulator and Simulator Research Buildings, Refrigerator Machine Building, and the Supercomputer Building leased from Kanagawa Prefecture. In May the Earth Science Museum, Information Technology Building and Guest House were completed, marking the end of all construction work on the planned buildings. In August the Yokohama Institute for Earth Sciences was officially declared open at an opening ceremony attended by Atsuko Toyama, Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. Prior to this, the Earth Simulator began operating in March , while its application in research began in July. With the establishment of marine and earth science information facilities, JAMSTEC's information-related functions were transferred to the Information Technology Building, enabling the integrated analysis of marine information collected by JAMSTEC and information on global change obtained from the Earth Simulator, and management of these data. The Earth Science Museum provides open public access to marine and earth science research achievements primarily through image displays in the display facilities.
