The first IODP3 expedition for Chikyu, Expedition 502E, has begun! Expedition 502E aims to test key hypotheses about the long-term hydrogeologic and mechanical evolution of the Japan Trench megathrust by recovering and redeploying temperature sensor strings that were installed in...
The community is invited to register for the Magellan3 workshop “Zero-age drilling at mid-ocean ridges”. Mid-ocean ridges (MOR) are a major component of the plate tectonic cycle. Newly formed ocean crust at MOR (‘zero-age’) undergoes significant changes soon after formation...

The total drill pipe length of 7,906 m achieved by Deep-Sea Scientific Drilling Vessel “Chikyu” has been certified by Guiness World Records as the “deepest scientific ocean drilling”. The Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) (President: Hiroyuki Yamato)...
Session proposals are now being accepted for the JpGU-AGU Joint Meeting, which will take place in Chiba, Japan, from 24-29 May 2026. This hybrid conference-the third joint meeting between AGU and the Japan Geoscience Union-will bring together researchers from around...
GeoMapApp is an application for browsing and analysing mainly marine geoscientific data, including from scientific drilling (www.geomapapp.org). A two-hour workshop will be held at the University of Manchester on 22nd September 10-12 (depending on room booking). The workshop will be led...
Seafloor Explorer – Online Seminar Series is dedicated to bring together UK/EU-based scientists working on ocean tectonic settings, across disciplines including but not limited to geology, geophysics, geochemistry, marine geosciences. Seminars are hosted virtually at 3pm UK time on Tuesdays...
Tales of Ocean Science is an oral history project hosted at JAMSTEC (Japan) that documents the personal stories of the people behind international scientific ocean drilling – from researchers and program managers to technicians, onboard crew, directors, and national organization...
