Objectives |
The
KH-11-7 Cruise of R/V Hakuho Maru
was planned to pursue biogeochemical study of trace elements and their isotopes
in the northwest Pacific Ocean. Due to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power
plant accident prior to the cruise, we also studied cold seep biogeochemistry
and earthquake mechanisms/radionuclide impact study in the western North
Pacific. The specific objectives and contents of this cruise are as follows: 1) To understand the spatial distribution of trace elements and their isotopes in the vertical profiles in the northwest Pacific Ocean; 2) To examine the distribution of trace metal concentrations and their speciation relating to biological activity and to elucidate their controlling mechanisms in the northwest Pacific Ocean; 3) To estimate primary production using chlorophyll a by satellite and field observation to clarify the correlation between nutrient variation and primary production; 4) Volatile organic compounds released by marine phytoplankton; 5) Microbial and isotopic geochemical studies in the epicenter and surrounding waters off Northeast Pacific Ocean; 6) Analysis of seabed ground deformation in the tsunami source area and epicentral area off Northeast Pacific Ocean; 7) To examine radioactive material transport off Fukushima and surrounding areas. |
