              Scope:  
              The centerpiece of this international workshop is to discuss and 
              review latest scientific achievements on Paleo and Rock Magnetism 
              (PRM), from fundamental rock magnetic studies to geological, chronological 
              and environmental applications. Any research subjects are welcome, 
              while emphasis would be placed on studies dealing with environmental 
              and geological approaches concerning western Pacific and Asia. The 
              results of the workshop will enable collaborative individuals, groups 
              and institutions in Asian countries to begin planning and developing 
              integrated research projects in various fields of PRM. In addition, 
              the workshop will provide an opportunity for Asian students and 
              young researchers to learn what have been and will be going on in 
              the frontier of PRM. The goal of the workshop is to promote discussions 
              for establishing an academic network, or an Asian consortium on 
              PRM, which would be expected to get prepared for the commencement 
              of the new phase of the Ocean Drilling Program, IODP, in which Asian 
              Earth science communities are hoped to take initiatives and play 
              roles of great importance in many scientific aspects.  
               
              Location:  
              The workshop will take place for two days, December 19 and 20 of 
              this year. The meeting will be held in Center for Advanced Marine 
              Core Research, Kochi University, which is located in Nankoku City, 
              Kochi Prefecture in Shikoku Island of southwest Japan.  |
