Many hot springs identified along the shore. Brown to creamy white water, which formed mixing with hot spring water and seawater, identified around the island. Especially Nagahama Bay have been studied for understanding the mechanism of Banded Iron Formation (BIF) which are abundant around the time of the great oxidation event, approximately 2.4 giga years ago. The high rate sedimentation iron oxide in Nagahama Bay is observed and it is suggested that microbial activities mediate the formation process. Although, several studies on bio-mineralization in Iwo-jima hot springs have been reported, only a few microbial communities were reported. In order to understand microbial communities and their ecosystem, this field research and sampling were conducted.

Furthermore, this island show dynamic interaction among earth surface, deep earth, and ocean with changing color of shore, beautiful and wild nature, and so on. Mr. Sakano, movie creator, stimulated his imagination by the nature of Iwo-jima and process to investigate the origin of life. This collaboration have been started from March 2017, outreach project by ELSI,  “CMS (Creators Meet Scientists)  project”.

(Including Graduate Interns and Global Science Coordinators)

EON provides funds for visitors to stay at ELSI for longer periods (usually, but not exclusively, one month or more). This has had a dramatic effect on the interdisciplinary research atmosphere at ELSI, as well as being one of the core ways in which our network is built up and maintained.

  1. How did life arise on Earth?
  2. How common is life in the Universe?
  3. What fundamental principles explain the emergence of life?

 

Visitors will generally be asked to give a seminar at ELSI and may be asked to contribute to the EON blog. Visits are expected to produce concrete research outcomes. The form these can take is flexible. A final report must be submitted upon returning to the visitor’s home institution. (The form for this report is attached at the end of this document.)

EON Long-term visitors are expected to spend most of their time at ELSI. If the visit involves spending time at another institute while in Japan, this must be indicated during the application procedure. We may be unable to pay for accommodation or living expenses for that part of the visit.

Informal enquiries are encouraged; these should be addressed to Nathaniel Virgo (nathanielvirgo[at]elsi.jp).
