Preface In summer the World Summit on Sustainable Development was held in Johannesburg on the African continent, the birthplace of humankind, while also marks the tenth anniversary of the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit, so for the international community, global environmental problems are still a very compelling concern. In summer , Washington DC hosted the Earth Observation Summit where participating countries began examining cooperation and the systematic implementation of earth observation. Before we can hope to resolve global environmental problems, we must first gain an accurate understanding of the true state of the earth, build up our scientific knowledge about the unknown global systems and mechanisms, then devise accurate predictions and formulate the necessary countermeasures based on this. Much is therefore expected of JAMSTEC in its capacity as a leading marine science and technology test and research organization, and we are committed to giving back to the wider community our observation achievements from our fleet of oceanographic research vessels, observation buoys, manned research submersibles and unmanned vehicles, and our analysis achievements from such systems as the Earth Simulator. Against this backdrop, this year all facilities of the Yokohama Institute for Earth Sciences were completed, and in August we held the opening ceremony with Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Minister Toyama as our special guest. Yokohama Institute for Earth Sciences will make a significant contribution to a broad range of research aimed at resolving global environmental issues through its four roles as an R&D and operation center for the Earth Simulator, a research center encompassing the Frontier Research System for Global Change and other organizations, a comprehensive information center for JAMSTEC, and a center for distributing the fruits of our research on the oceans and earth to society. In September we invited the directors of of the world's major ocean research institutions to take part in an international symposium under the theme of "Ocean science in the st century" to commemorate JAMSTEC's th anniversary. The results of the discussions were summarized and conveyed to the world in the Yokosuka Statement. In October the Center for Deep Earth Exploration (CDEX) was inaugurated. CDEX will operate the deep-sea drilling vessel CHIKYU, which is currently under construction and scheduled for completion in , and provide strong support for the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) to start in October . In November the analysis program for the Earth Simulator, which commenced full-scale operations in March, won the Gordon Bell Award. The Gordon Bell Awards are highly prestigious awards given in recognition of outstanding achievements in practical scientific and technical computing. From April JAMSTEC will be reborn as an independent administrative institution, and with this we are determined to advance our research into ocean and earth science and technology even more positively and efficiently. This annual report outlines JAMSTEC's programs during fiscal , and we hope it will give you a better understanding of our activities and the kind of research and development we carry out. We at JAMSTEC look forward to your continuing support and cooperation. November Takuya Hirano President Japan Marine Science and Technology Center
