Japan Marine Science and Technology Center OD21 Program Department vessels: one is the riser-capable vessel "CHIKYU" to be provided by JAMSTC, and the other is a non-riser vessel to be provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF). JAMSTEC has been working to build up the collaborative, cooperative and operational structure with IODP member countries through various activities at the international level, such as the International Working Group (IWG) and interim Science Advisory Structure (iSAS). The IWG/IODP Meetings were held at Stockholm, Sweden and Nice, France on June and January respectively. Continuing from last fiscal year, JAMSTEC has provided staff to the IWG Support Office (IWGSO) established in Washington D.C. with the cooperation of Japan and U.S. in order to support the IWG and other related activities. JAMSTEC has accommodated the iSAS Office in Yokosuka Headquarter since June to support iSAS activities such as recommendations on the Science Advisory Structure (SAS), promotion of proposal submission and evaluation of proposals in preparation for the start of the IODP. IODP Management International Inc. (IMI) was established in February to manage and operate the central management office (CMO) of the IODP. From the begining, JAMSEC has contributed as one of the members of the CMO working group, whose task is to recommend how to form the IMI. IMI Headquarters will be located in the U.S., and the major function of IMI, science support and planning, will be implemented by the office in Japan. The Center for Deep Earth Exploration (CDEX) consisting of specialists in various fields was established in JAMSTEC in October to achieve the scientific objectives of IODP and expand the management capability in operation, drilling and science service, though the safe and effective operation of "CHIKYU". For the promotional activities and public relations of IODP, JAMSTEC provided an exhibition booth both at the Society of Professional Well Logging Analysts (SPWLA) in June in Ohiso, Kanagawa and at the Annual Meeting of American Geophysical Union (AGU) in December in San Francisco. (2) OD21 Domestic Activities for the IODP For the successful implementation of the IODP/ OD, the OD Program Department has been constructing the scientific riser-drilling vessel, "CHIKYU", which is one of the core capabilities of the program. The Department is also setting up its operational structure and scientific research system in close collaboration with and by support from governmental agencies, universities and research institutions. For the promotion of domestic research, OD has served as the secretariat for the OD Science Advisory Committee (OD SAC; Chaired by Dr. Hajimu Kinoshita) organized in FY. Through the supporting activities of the OD SAC panels and working groups, OD and the OD SAC have developed the domestic strategy on scientific research, and planned concrete research objectives for the IODP, helped the IODP interim Science Advisory Structure (iSAS), and advised and supported domestic proponents to develop IODP proposals. Also, OD and the OD SAC have published "Toward an Understanding of Earth System Evolution: Japan National Science Plan for the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (both in English and Japanese)" which serves as guidelines for the promotion of science in Japan, and "Downhole Measurement/ Monitoring Working Group Interim Report (both in English and Japanese)". OD SAC ended in FY, and the Japan Drilling Earth Science Consortium established in February took over SAC's role. The achievements of OD SAC were summarized in the OD SAC Activity Report. The Department has continuously maintained the OD HP for promotional activities and public relations, and published the OD Newsletters (vol. to vol., both in English and Japanese) to enhance the support to the IODP/OD from both domestic and international scientists. 177
Japan Marine Science and Technology Center Research Activities International Continental Scientific Drilling Program The international Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP) is an international joint research program that began in , with participation by Germany, the United States, and China. In fiscal year , JAMSTEC was assigned as Japan's representative to this project. In October , JAMSTEC signed on a memorandum to participate in this project with the GeoForschungsZentrum (GFZ), Potsdam, Germany, the representative of ICDP. The OD Program Department serves as the secretariat office to support domestic activities, publish the newsletters and maintain the HP for the ICDP. 179
