| | Abstract | | The "Cross-ministerial Strategic Innovation Promotion Program (SIP)" was started at FY2014 by the Cabinet Office of Government Japan, and the research project of "Next-generation technology for ocean resources exploration" is also ongoing (FY2014-FY2018). J-MARES (Research and Development Partnership for Next Generation Technology of Marine Resources Survey) is one of the private union participated the SIP organized four Inc. (JAPAX, JGI, NSENGI, and MMTEC) aimed at construction of "Multi-stage and integrated approach for SMSs exploration" through the development of upgradable and effectual geophysical exploration methods on seismic and electromagnetic methods, and combination of the known exploration tools and systems. Two research cruise (JM14-01 and JM14-02) on the known seafloor hydrothermal fields were conducted in end of FY2014. Especially, we conducted some test to raise operation efficiency for both towing electromagnetic (EM) system and vertical cable seismic (VCS) system. J-MARES also aims to develop and standardize multi-stage and integrated approach method for SMSs exploration combined geophysical and geomineralogical exploration methods. |
