Magellan³ Workshop: Submarine Hazards, Responses, and Eruption cycles from Kikai caldera

Date and Place

March 15-17, 2027 at Kobe University, Japan

Workshop Objectives

Caldera volcanism generates catastrophic geohazards, including tsunamis, seafloor disruption, and widespread ash dispersal, that alter regional landscapes and global climate. Despite extreme socio-economic risks, submarine caldera complexes and their eruption cycles remain poorly understood. The mostly submerged Kikai Caldera (Japan) is the ideal natural laboratory to resolve these blind spots via deep drilling. We hold the SHREK Magellan³ workshop in Kobe, Japan, to advance our active IODP³ pre-proposal (1122-Pre) into a full drilling proposal. The workshop will refine core scientific hypotheses and define optimal drilling targets for the R/V Chikyu.
