The Goal of the “Integrated Ocean Resources Survey System (“INORSS”)” in the “Next-Generation Technology for Ocean Resources Exploration” of “SIP”

The INORSS has been started from 2016 by the “INORSS Team” of SIP project. This team is mainly composed of two private groups, J-MARES and JAMSA, and has been studying methods to enable exploration of the “seafloor massive sulfide (SMS)” so far. J-MARES mainly conducts research focusing on advanced seismic method, and JAMSA conducts research mainly by electrical and gravity prospecting methods. As a result, it is making it possible to grasp the existence and the shape of the blind deposit as the initial target.
