2.Outlook of Scientific Ocean Drilling in Japan-1
１．The Scientific Ocean Drilling up to date

December 20, 2022
Ocean Development Subcommittee of
Science and Technology Council(Provisional Translation of Abstract)(1)Current Status in Japan①The Deep-sea Scientific Drilling Vessel “Chikyu”• contributed to scientific outcome through installation of
LTBMS, JFAST, Deep Coalbed Biosphere off Shimokita,etc.
• contributed to earthquake disaster prevention andmitigation.
• contributed to establishment of technology anddevelopment of human resource.
• The Mantle Drilling and the part of NanTroSEIZE Expedition
not achieved. The major cause is the project management,
including the management of technology development.

②Core Repository (KCC)• stores and manages core of 50 years
of SOD programs.
• contributed to the creation of newscientific knowledge.
③Research Vessel “Kaimei”• capable of sampling short piston /drill
cores.
• has been used successfully in IODP
Exp.386.

(2) Trends surrounding SOD①The development in Geoscience• In geoscience, various research methods such as sampling, analyzing observation data, simulation, laboratory
experiments, and theory are used.
• Each research method cannot be substituted one another easily. Some research, such as obtaining geoscientificevidence of volcanic activity and plate subduction on the solid earth, can only be achieved through sampling by the
SOD.

②The change in IODP• The current IODP ends in September 2024.
• The international framework after October 2024 will not be a continuation of the current framework
IODP, and the new framework is under consideration.

Ocean Development Subcommittee of
Science and Technology Council(Provisional Translation of Abstract)

2．The Future of the SOD (Japan’s perspective)(1)The Priority Areas☆ Give priory to areas with high societal needs, requires SOD, and achievable in 5-10 years time

① Disaster prevention and mitigation
In order to build a safe and secure society in Japan
with many earthquakes and volcanic hazards,
advanced disaster prevention and mitigation are
essential. Priority should be put on initiatives tocontribute to disaster prevention and mitigation
through the SOD.

②Climate Change③Deep subseafloor biosphere
After putting priory on ①disasterprevention and mitigation, taking into
account the age of Chikyu, global trends,
budget situation and societal needs, etc.,
next priority should be put on Climate
Change and Deep subseafloor biosphere.

(2)Issues to be considered in advancing SOD in Japan①Improvement in the project management system such as review decision process and management system②Strategic consideration of International Cooperation, based on the experience of IODP
③Succession of technology and human resource developed through SOD

The Sub-committee hopes to see Japan to lead the world tocontribute to the development of S&T to solve societal issues
through SOD.

3. Policy on next 5 years & beyond -1• The 4th Basic Plan on Ocean Policy of Japan (20232028) adopted by the cabinet members in April
2023– ‘promote comprehensive understanding of theoceans, the Earth and life’ retained– Promotion of SOD underscored explicitly• By utilizing Chikyu, a Japanese deep sea drilling vessel,
promote Scientific Ocean Drilling on the basis of theInternational Ocean Discovery Program (IODP). Direct
sampling, analysis and in-situ observation of materials
constituting the Earth would be implemented, alongwith numerical analysis and modelling methods, will
promote comprehensive understanding of the Earth, in
relation to the oceans the Earth and life.
Note: English texts are based on provisional translation.

3. Policy on next 5 years & beyond -2• The 4th Basic Plan on Ocean Policy of Japan (20232028)– Reference to ‘Mantle drilling’ deleted• In order to challenge frontiers such as understanding
the mechanism of the large earthquakes and exploringa marine deep subsurface biosphere and find out its
functions, promote development of infrastructuretechnology for drilling deep marine strata.
• To understand the mechanism of the large earthquakes, explore amarine deep subsurface biosphere and find out its functions, andimplement drilling of the mantle in the future, promote developmentof infrastructure technology for drilling deep marine strata.
(The 3rd Basic Plan on Ocean Policy of Japan (2018-2023))
Note: English texts are based on provisional translation.

3. Policy on next 5 years & beyond -3• JAMSTEC Mid-term Objectives and Activities Plan are valid for
7 yrs (April 2019 – March 2026) and in line also with the 4th
Basic Plan on Ocean Policy of Japan (2023-2028)– The ‘Objectives’, set by the Minister, mention (1)deploying ocean research and observation platforms andadvancing technologies including ultra deep-water andultra deep drilling, and (2) enhancement of international
cooperation under IODP.
– The ‘Activities Plan’, proposed by JAMSTEC and acceptedby the Minister, sets a timeframe by FY 2025 fordeveloping equipment and conducting ‘pilot’ drillings
relevant to said (1) above .

Continuation of Core andData Repositories• U.S.-owned cores:• Domestic: 155 km at TAMU
• International: 310 km at Bremen University(Germany) and Kochi University (Japan)• NSF is committed to maintaining access tocores and related data for the U.S. andinternational science communities.
• U.S.-owned cores would be kept at current
locations under the same governance while
long-term storage discussions are underway.

QUESTIONS?

14FORUMIODP FORUM spring meeting
Vienna, Austria, April 22-23, 2023

Consensus 2: The IODP Forum recognizes that the lack of information about future
proposal systems is currently impacting the ability of the community to plan newproposals and undertake revisions to submitted proposals. Those with proposals at the
JRFB are also anxious to know the options available to them going forward. The IODPForum encourages the Facility Boards to coordinate on timelines and communications
to provide the community with next steps as soon as possible.

Consensus 3: The IODP Forum continues to encourage efforts directed towards
improved integration and mutual coordination for future joint projects, where theupcoming Land-2-Sea expedition (Mediterranean-Atlantic Gateway / IMMAGE) may
well serve as a testcase.

Consensus 4: The IODP Forum is pleased that the National Science Foundation iscommitted to maintaining access to scientific ocean drilling cores and data, and that it istheir intention to retain the current governance structure for five years post-IODP. The
IODP Forum also applauds IODP partners for their intention to continue to store cores
collected by the JOIDES Resolution at the Bremen Core Repository and Kochi Core
Center.

Consensus 5: Projects based on legacy assets offer new opportunities for large-scalecollaborations using archived core, data, and other legacy resources from the scientificocean drilling programs. The IODP Forum supports continued efforts to explore thedevelopment of these programs, including collaborations between programs as futurescientific ocean drilling program structures are established. Legacy asset projects(LeAPs) could also be used to further collaborations with ICDP and other research
programs.

Consensus 6: The IODP Forum expresses its sincere gratitude to the extensive
work done by Barry Katz and the Environmental Protection and Safety Panel(EPSP) in reviewing proposals for all platforms over the course of IODP, as wellas the previous scientific ocean drilling programs.

Evaluation of absolute and relative success, technically andscientifically - recomended• Identification of remaining challenges - recommended• Lessons learned – organization, operations, and other recommended• Improvements, generally - recommended

Evaluation procedures? Committee’s?

Action Item 1: The IODP Forum started to discuss how to evaluate thescientific successes and identify remaining challenges of IODP in context of the
Science Plan. The IODP Forum participants will consider potential mechanisms
for identifying remaining Science Plan challenges and for identifying
operational, organizational, and other lessons learned. IODP Forum
participants are asked to send further comments and ideas to Henk Brinkhuis
and Charna Meth, who will compile them for discussion at the October 2023
meeting.

FORUMIODP FORUM spring meeting‘Day 2’ – discussions on post2024 plans• ECORD and Japan are formalizing their joint vision for theInternational Ocean Drilling Programme (indicated as IODP3) throughputting together a memorandum of understanding. The new program
will maintain the ECORD and Japan identities as platform providers,
while inviting associate members and temporary members. They plan
to develop a proposal process similar to the current process with asingle Mission-Specific Platform Facility Board. ECORD and Japanwelcome collaboration with other scientific ocean drilling programs
and other research programs (e.g., ICDP) through a Forum-like body.
f• The U.S. National Science Foundation is evaluating options forscientific ocean drilling after the current program concludes andintends to make its decision public within FY2023. Further community
input is needed to develop a strategy for where and how scientificocean drilling will proceed over the next 10 to 20 years. NSF will
solicit community input on prioritized scientific ocean drilling
objectives, a portfolio of possible approaches, reimagining themethods of scientific ocean drilling and sub-seafloor sampling, and aplan for international engagement. And NSF is soliciting a new
decadal study for the National Academy of Sciences.
f• China is planning to commit multiple platforms (China Multifunction
Platform; CMP) to its developing post-2024 scientific ocean drilling
program, including a newly built riser drilling vessel that is scheduled
to be fully complete by 2024. The CMP program will be jointly
managed by Tongji University and the Guangzhou Marine Geological
Survey, and it will potentially implement one to two expeditions per
year. China continues its intentions to building a CMP core repository,and IODP-China is developing a 10-year science plan based on the2050 Science Framework.
.

• India remains interested in a post-2024 scientific ocean drilling andhas been in talks with different platform providers and PMOs about
the emerging programs. India will continue to hold these bilateral andmulti-lateral meeting and has updated its National Committee ofExperts on the developments. At this time, India’s Ministry of Earth
Science has yet to decide on the level of financial support beyond
2024. However, there is growing interest within the Indian researchcommunity for developing new drilling proposals in the Indian Ocean.

• ANZIC shared their strategy for securing future funding, with
Australia seeking new and increased funding under the National
Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) and New
Zealand using NCRIS to explore additional options with the Ministry
for Business, Innovation, and Employment. ANZIC also discussed thatthey need clarity from platform providers on membership models,program plans, and opportunities to engage internationally to guide
ANZIC’s decisions in how to invest in research and scientific ocean
drilling.

• Korea continues its goal of fostering cutting-edge science throughparticipation in IODP, which includes preparation and submission of drilling
proposals and education programs for graduate students based on IODP
themes. Korean scientists are currently in the process of requesting funding
to rejoin IODP, but it is uncertain if funding will be granted. Korea’s goal
post-2024 is to successfully carry out an expedition in the sea east of Korea.
Korea will focus intensive geophysical surveys and preliminary studies on the
research area.

drilling programs (i.e., samples, data, open drillholes, downhole observatories) without
new drilling;• be of duration, level of focus, and approaches appropriate for addressing theobjective(s), as described in a Project Management Plan;• include participants from multiple countries who represent multiple disciplines (without
recommending a prescribed approach to be used by all LeAPs)• be formally reviewed and endorsed, with ongoing communication with the endorsing
body during implementation• be implemented in a way that reflects the community-driven approach of the scientificocean drilling programs so that LeAPs and their outcomes fit inclusively within that
overall structure and history (e.g., Report as described in Project Management Plan)

CIB_Consensus-0822-09: Chikyu Proposals – CIB implementation Recommendation
CIB recommendation for proposal implementation for 2024 will consider the SEP review on science
impact as well as MarE3 operational concerns. CIB will subsequently recommend implementation and
PCT formation.
CIB_Consensus-0822-10: Chikyu Proposals - APL
APL 939 will be considered separately after the proposal implementation recommendation based on
CIB_Consensus-0822-09.

Previous Consensus Items
eCIB_Consensus-1022-01: IODP proposal for 2024 Chikyu Operation
The CIB recommends the selection of IODP Proposal 835 for DV Chikyu implementation during the
FY2024 operational window. SEP reviewed the science impact of implementing a minimal science plan,
according to the CIB consensus 0822-09. Review of the reduced operations indicates that highest
priority science goals can be met with the proposed two-drill-site plan. The CIB also considered thecapacity of such an expedition to produce near-term high impact science results. This proposal willcomplement and bookend the earlier work during JFAST (IODP Exp. 343), and help to advance its
scientific objectives as thoroughly as possible.
eCIB_Consensus-1022-03: PCT creation and APL handling
The CIB asks MarE3 to create a project coordination team (PCT) along with the lead proponent of
Proposal 835. The CIB will review a list of proposed PCT members and approve a final list. The PCT,
once formed, will also review operational requirements for 939-APL3 (Petit-Spot Magmatism) to see if
this could be implemented along with the expedition.

Concerns for APLs
1013

1010

939

• Reengaging tool is newly developed tool (Tool will be tested in FAT)
• Existing tubing in JFAST hole may collapse at the certain depth by the seismogenic activity• Abnormal high current may require additional operation days (2-3 days) for attaching VIV
suppression rope and mobilization of RGR support.

• Countermeasures for VIV due to high current on coring equipment (fatigue failure and loosening
thread)• Moderate risk operation due to hard rock drilling in extreme deep water (Pipe Stuck/Pipe
Parting)• High impact on cost due to double mobilization of LWD• Countermeasures for VIV due to high current on coring equipment (fatigue failure and loosening
thread)• Need to check if the helicopter range (194NM)• UWTV failure may affect the LWD water depth measurement

JTRACK APL: Redeployment of a temperature sensor string in the JFAST
observatory, C0019D
Patrick Fulton, Jamie Kirkpatrick• In July 2012 J-FAST deployed a temperature sensor string in C0019D, recovering it in 2013.
• 1013-APL would redeploy a similar temperature sensor string within C0019D tocharacterize large-scale fault zone permeability - a cross-borehole experiment, passively
monitoring the hydrogeologic response to nearby J-TRACK drilling. Later Chikyu recovery.
• builds upon the prior success of the JFAST project and its borehole observatory (IODP Exps.
343/343T), and a similar cross-borehole experiment conducted in the Nankai Troughsubduction zone as part of the IODP NantroSEIZE project (Kinoshita and Saffer, 2018).
• expected to take less than 4 days of operations time before or during IODP Exp. 405, withno new drilling (“We have every expectation that the casing in C0019D is open to allow asensor string to be redeployed … but a dummy run down the hole may be performed before
installation to ensure allowable passage of the string to all depths”)

Aim: in central JT drill/recover thewhole trench-fill sequence fordating and establishing eventstratigraphy for paleoseismologic
interpretations of megathrustearthquakes.
Primary scientific objectives:
O-1: Identify and explore thetemporal distribution of eventdeposits and tectonic-driven
deformation and tilting events toinvestigate time-dependent updip rupture variability of themegathrust fault.

O-2: Develop a long-term
earthquake record fortsunamigenic giant earthquakes.
O-3: Evaluate the influence ofearthquake-induced fluid
migration (discharge) in trench-fillsediments

8a: unreviewed APLs to J-TRACKJTRACK Deep-Time Paleoseismology

9 days: drill/recover entire trench fill sequence in the central JT for dating to:• O-1: Identify temporal distribution of event-deposits and of tectonic-driven deformation/
tilting events => time-dependent up-dip rupture variability of the megathrust fault.
• O-2: Develop a long-term earthquake record for tsunamigenic giant earthquakes.
• O-3: Evaluate the influence of EQ-induced fluid migration (discharge) in trench-fill seds.
Extends Exp 386 results (29 GPC along the Japan Trench) to much greater depth/ages

1013 APL:JFAST observatory redeployment

4 days: redeploy a thermistor string within JFAST hole C0019D => large-scale fault zone
permeability by monitoring the cross-borehole hydrogeologic response to J-TRACK drilling.
• builds upon success of JFAST and its borehole observatory (IODP Exps. 343/343T), and asimilar cross-borehole experiment as part of NantroSEIZE (Nankai Trough).
• expected to take less than 4 days of operations time before or during IODP Exp. 405,
“requires no new drilling”, uses existing IODP investments in sub-seafloor and the same
technologies / deployment-recovery strategies as the JTRACK observatory, requires noadditional science party expertise, and will provide unique insights that are directly
beneficial to the overall expedition and JTRACK objectives.

Discovery Program

Item 9a:

SEP Panel Overview / Updates• SEP reports to JRFB, services EFB and CIB• Great communication & relations with SSO, JRFB, Forum• Operated combined science and site survey panel (SEP) for 11
meetings, since January, 2014
• January at Scripps; June elsewhere (post virtual: Southampton
2022, Pavia 2023)• Extremely effective and efficient to have all expertise (science,
site, operators) together for proposal evaluation (typically 5
Watchdogs [WD] per proposal) and for overall SEP discussion

International Ocean
Discovery Program

Review procedures:
Highlights from the SEP Terms of Reference• The SEP is responsible for selection of the best and most relevant
proposals for forwarding to the JRFB or other Facility Board• The SEP also advises the FBs and Forum on any shortcomings of the
proposal pool with respect to themes and challenges of the IODP
Science Plan, and makes suggestions for stimulating proposal
pressure in those areas (see also Forum chair’s report)

International Ocean
Discovery Program

Watchdog Preparationof Proposal Reviews• WD1 Science presents the science case of the proposal after consultation withthe other assigned WDs• WD2 Science advises the WD1 on the science case, and records the science partof the response letter to proponents (together with WD1)
• Additional Science WDs may be assigned to promote discussion• WD3 Site presents the new site survey data after consultation with the otherassigned WDs, unless there are no new data. If no data, then WD3 advises ondata that are necessary.
• WD4 Site advises the WD3 on the site survey data, and WD4 records the site
survey part of the response letter to proponents (together with WD3).
• Additional Site WDs may be assigned to promote discussion• WD5 Operator advises watchdogs 1-4 on the drilling plan, platform, technicalissues and feasibility of the proposed program.

International Ocean
Discovery Program

Review Procedures:
Characterizing the Site Survey Data

The Science Evaluation Panel (SEP):• Advises proponents on data that are deemed necessary• Reviews all data in the Site Survey Data Bank (SSDB)• Advises the proponents on the adequacy of the drill sitecharacterisation package• Provides an assessment of whether or not the scientificobjectives of each drill site can be effectively achieved on thebasis of the proposal and data package
Based on the data that are presented, can we be reasonably
assured that they can achieve their objectives?

SEP does NOT review environmental protection or safety
aspects – that is the remit of EPSP

International Ocean
Discovery Program

Site Classification System
 Hinges on whether WDs feel that the data reviewed:
 Are sufficient to support drilling (i.e., objectives are likely to beachieved, and there are no, or minimal, scientific concerns).
 Are not sufficient to support the drilling (i.e., targets are not imaged
properly, data are not annotated properly, sites are mislocated, moredata are needed, data are not interpreted correctly, structuralcomplications, etc.).

 Given the data, are they drilling in the right locations and to theright depth to achieve the scientific objectives.

Objective: to develop the data package so that the
proposal may be forwarded to the Facility Board (FB)

Data reviewed by SEP are sufficient to support the scientificobjectives of the drilling effort and there are no further
concerns
Data reviewed by SEP are sufficient to support the scientificobjectives of the drilling effort, but minor concerns require
follow-up by proponents (specify in text)
Data reviewed by SEP are insufficient to support the drilling
effort, but other data are believed to exist; and/or data are notannotated or organized sufficiently to fully review, or there arescientific concerns
Data reviewed by SEP are insufficient to support the drilling
effort, and additional data are not believed to exist
No data have been reviewed by SEP“Insufficient“ indicates that the data package is not sufficient to convince the SEP that the scientific objectives can beaddressed. For example: 1) the data package may lack items that are fundamental to determining the correct site
location or target depth; 2) the data may be of insufficient resolution to demonstrate the existence of targeted strata; 3)
the data may not demonstrate unequivocally that the proposed locations are correct (e.g. sites are not plotted correctlyor mismatches exist between navigation files and proposed locations); 4) site locations are deemed to be inadequate
for addressing the objectives (e.g. missing critical sections, misinterpretations, science or safety concerns, etc.).
“Minor concerns” may include missing items or questions that do not affect the assessment that drilling is warranted at
proposed sites, meaning the objectives can be met based on existing data despite the concerns. Examples include: 1)
missing image files (e.g. bathymetry); 2) minor issues with velocity that may slightly affect the proposed depth ofpenetration; 3) minor navigation issues. These can be addressed while proposal resides at the FB.
