[M-IS27_2PM1] MarineMarine manganese deposits: Origin, growth processes, and environment

Fri. May 2, 2014 2:15 PM - 4:00 PM 423 (4F)

Convener:*Akira Usui(Dept, Natural Science), Yoshio Takahashi(Department of Earth and Planetary Systems Science, Graduate School of Science, Hiroshima University), Takashi Ito(Faculty of Education, Ibaraki University), Katsuhiko Suzuki(Institute for Research on Earth Evolution, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology), Chair:Akira Usui(Dept, Natural Science)

The ferromanganese oxide deposits are integrated precipitates of hydrogenetic iron and manganese oxide with minor useful metal elements. The recent exploration of the deposits using ROV mapping and deep-sea drill provide us with new findings on mineralogy, geochemistry, microbiology, and physical engineering. The session reposts the results of munti-disciplinary, multi-institutional investigation of origin, growth process, resource potential of hydrogenetic and diagenetic ferromanganese nodules and crusts in the Northwestern Pacific oceans

2:30 PM - 2:45 PM
