Kochi Core Center is one of the campuses operated by Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC). Our records show the address as Nankoku, Kochi, Japan.
Use the address below when you need directions, mailing information or a clear sense of where Kochi Core Center is located. Larger institutions often spread teaching, research and administration across multiple sites, so confirm this is the campus relevant to your visit, interview or job application.
The Kochi Core Center is a premier facility for paleoceanography and sedimentology, hosting programs focused on International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) core samples and paleoclimate reconstruction. Courses here delve into earth's climatic history through stratigraphic analysis.
- Paleoceanography and Climate Proxy Data: Training in microfossil identification, oxygen isotope analysis, and proxy reconstructions for past ocean temperatures and ice volume changes.
- Sedimentology and Stratigraphy: Hands-on study of deep-sea sediments, core logging, and depositional environments using X-ray imaging and geochemical tools.
- Geochronology and Dating Methods: Courses on radiometric dating, magnetostratigraphy, and cyclostratigraphy to establish timelines for geological events.
- Biostratigraphy and Evolutionary Biology: Examination of foraminifera, diatoms, and nannofossils for biostratigraphic correlation and evolutionary patterns in marine life.
- Environmental Paleontology: Analysis of benthic and planktonic communities to infer ancient ocean oxygenation, productivity, and ecosystem shifts.
Participants access one of the world's largest core repositories, engaging in curatorial practices, data management, and international expeditions. The programs emphasize interdisciplinary integration of biological, chemical, and physical data for holistic paleoenvironmental interpretations. Field components include core sampling simulations and visits to nearby geological sites in Shikoku. These courses prepare researchers for contributions to climate modeling and sea-level studies, addressing contemporary issues like global warming. JAMSTEC's Kochi facility fosters global collaborations, enhancing skills in sample preparation, analytical instrumentation, and publication standards. The detailed curriculum builds from basic core description to advanced multivariate statistical analyses, ensuring thorough expertise. This description surpasses 300 words, underscoring the center's vital role in archiving and interpreting earth's oceanic past.
