              International Symposium: 
               To commemorate the 1st year of scientific research collaboration 
              between: 
              The Center for Advanced Marine Core Research, Kochi University (CMCR) 
              and 
              The Korean Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) | 
           
         
         
        
          
            Hosted by: Dr. Iwao Watanabe (Director of CMCR) 
              and 
              Convened by: Drs. Kazuto Kodama and Masafumi Murayama (CMCR) 
               
              Scope: 
               
              The main issues at this international symposium are:  
              1) To review the latest scientific achievements on paleoceanography, 
              paleogeography, geochronology and paleomagnetism by researchers 
              from both Institutions, from fundamental studies to geological, 
              chronological and environmental applications. 
              2) To discuss future collaborative joint scientific proposals between 
              researchers from both Institutions. 
               
              We sincerely hope that present symposium would lead to the establishment 
              of a broader academic network in the Asian Earth science communities. 
               
              Venue and Date: 
               
              The symposium will take place for two days, 21 and 22 February, 
              2008, at the Center for Advanced Marine Core Research, Kochi University. |
