------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OHP/ION joint Symposium: LONG-TERM OBSERVATIONS IN THE OCEANS: CURRENT STATUS AND PERSPECTIVES FOR THE FUTURE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Venue: Hotel Mt. Fuji, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan Time: January 21-27, 2001 =============== Second Circular =============== ************************************************** DEADLINES: Registration and Accommodation: November 30, 2000 Title of Abstract submission: November 30, 2000 Extended Abstract submission: December 22, 2000 (with color figures) December 10, 2000 ************************************************** Updated informations regarding the symposium will be posted at the WEB site http://eri-ndc.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp/OHP-sympo2/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPER: The joint symposium of OHP (Ocean Hemisphere network Project) and ION (International Ocean Network) will be held in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan during Jan. 21-27, 2001. Papers are invited on any topic related to the scope of the symposium listed below. The first half of this joint OHP/ION Symposium will be mainly devoted to summarizing the results of the OHP and similar ION related programs: i.e. mantle dynamics (emphasis on western Pacific, transition zone, lower mantle heterogeneities/layering, mantle/core interactions), coupling of the atmosphere and ocean with the solid Earth, observations that can improve our understanding of these phenomena, and data archive and distribution. The last two and 1/2 days (under ION sponsorship) will be devoted to more general issues regarding ocean observatories, including scientific potential and technical needs for joint geophysical/oceanographic seafloor/permanent and long term ocean observatories. The scope is global and multidisciplinary, including those that span the air-sea interface, the entire water column, and the solid earth below. Based on common interests, a cooperative research initiative is being planned. There will be discussion of coordination among the different disciplines (solid/fluid) leading to some recommendations to be described in a Workshop report, which will be submitted to appropriate national scientific research sponsor agencies of participating countries. The meeting will be organized such that invited oral papers of about 30 minutes duration will be presented in each session and contributed papers will be presented either as oral (few) or as posters. The poster sessions will be scheduled in the afternoon of each session day. The official language of the meeting will be English. Those who wish to present a paper should submit the tile of the paper at the registration. If you have questions regarding the symposium scope, please contact either Hitoshi Kawakatsu (hitosi@eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp) for the OHP part, or Barbara Romanowicz (barbara@seismo.berkeley.edu) for the ION part.
