A workshop on "Future research plans for solid Earth sciences in the Antarctic Ocean" was held on February 17,2000. The main object of the workshop was to make concrete research plans for solid Earth sciences in the Antarctic Ocean by clarifying various solid Earth scientific problems in the Antarctic Ocean and determining the present research programs of Japanese and foreign research vessels. The importance of the solid Earth scientific observation in the Antarctic Ocean was emphasized throughout the workshop. Workshop participants will draw up feasible projects in the near future.
