| Research Abstract |
An environmental time capsule, or ETCapsule, which will retain samples and data for an ultralong period is covered in this report. The samples will serve as fundamental data for researchers in the distant future. We plan to seal the ETCapusle at 00 : 00, January 1,2001 on the top of the Dome Fuji, 3,800 m above sea level, in the antarctic continent.
This report summarizes research in the basic study phase, which contains
1. classification of existing storages of biological and environmental specimens,
2. comparison of major past time capsule,
3. a proposal of a new time capsule for biological and environmental specimens, based on the classification and comparison,
4. basic strategies for sampling and selection of samples,
5. brief explanation on meteorologicla and ice cover conditions of Dome Fuji, and
6. time schedule of the project to the year of 2001.
