Research Abstract |
The multi-field, multi-institutional joint study on depositional environment of hydrogenetic ferromanganese crusts have led the following three major conclusions; 1) the ROV-supported sophisticated shipboard observations and sampling of the ferromanganese crusts figured out the general pattern of variations of distribution and occurrence in space and in time in the NW Pacific seamounts, 2) the age dating and age-profiles in composition and microstructure at each column of the crusts ascertained the possibility of long-range reconstruction of paleoceanographic and geological conditions based on the short-core profiles, 3) many useful metals incorporated in the crusts are well related to regional distribution pattern and temporal pattern between samples, and thus probably controlled by molecular- to nano- scale surface properties of major ferromanganese compounds, simulated by absorption experiment and XAFS measurement and other conventional analyses.
