Taiwan-Japan Deep Drilling Science Symposium
Dates: 1st-4th February 2016
Venue: Department of Earth Sciences, National Central University, Taiwan

 

1. Background and objectives

Deep drilling is a direct method to retrieve deep subsurface rocks and to measure rock physical properties. It is an indispensable technology to explore the deep earth either for scientific understandings or for exploitation of subsurface resources. The organizing committee would like to introduce the most advanced drilling, coring, and well-logging technology along with integrated core-log interpretations to the Taiwanese geoscience community. We therefore invite a group of scientists from JAMSTEC (Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology) to Taiwan in early February of 2016 to discuss with Taiwanese geoscientists on current and past deep drilling results as well as to give short courses for students on advanced coring and logging technology and interpretations. The invited JAMSTEC scientists are responsible for conducting coring and well logging onboard the Chikyu drilling vessel (D/V) and subsequent scientific analyses. The D/V Chikyu is the most advanced scientific deep-sea drilling platform that can penetrate 7 km beneath the seabed. This vessel is operated by JAMSTEC and it is also one of the drill ships under the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP).

The “Taiwan-Japan Deep Drilling Science Symposium” will be held during 1st -4th February 2016 at National Central University and it consists of two parts. The first part of symposium is entitled ”Highlights and Results from the Current and Past Challenging Deep Drilling Projects, which will be held on 1st February. The second part is entitled “Short Course on Core & Logging Data Interpretation and Integration”, which will be held during 2nd -4th February. The first-day short course (2nd February) is open to everyone but the rest of lectures/exercises during 3rd– 4th February are only meant for 20 selected participants.

All the participants for the symposium are required to register through this website http://goo.gl/forms/7HR3aPM6zg


The latter two days (3rd– 4th February) are designed for 20 devoted participants with extensive group exercises and group presentations and hence it is only for selected participants. The selection is based on the intention of the applicants and a reference letter from the applicant’s supervisor (either English or Chinese is OK)
For application please prepare two documents and email to Ms. Wu, at xmallwolf06@gmail.com before 2016.1.22(Fri.): (1) CV including a brief description for the purposes of attending this short course, and (2) a reference letter from supervisor/manager.
