Japan Agency for Marine Earth Science and Technology

The Japan Agency for Marine Earth Science and Technology ( JAMSTEC; jap海洋 研究 开 発 机构, Kaiyo Kenkyu Kaihatsu Kiko, dt " oceanic research and development organization" ) is a self -regulatory body ( Dokuritsu Gyosei Hojin ) of Geology and Oceanography. She went in 2004 from the predecessor, which indicates Japan Marine Science and Technology Center. The main task of the Institute is to promote scientific research in the field of oceanography and marine technology. The special care is given to the progress in achieving the basic research as well as the improvement and expansion of marine development potential. This support is linked with the mindset of safeguarding world peace and human welfare.

Embedded, these advancements in operating worldwide monitoring strategies, such as the Japan ARGO, a UNESCO project of the World Meteorological Organization ( WMO). Using high-resolution techniques can be operated real-time analysis of research objects. Other projects include, inter alia, Climate Variability and Predictability ( CLIVAR ) and the Global Earth Observing System of Systems (GEOSS ) of the Group on Earth Observation (GEO). This study climate change ( global warming) and the unpredictability of nature and marine disasters in international cooperation, also with the help of earth observation satellites such as the Argentine SAC -D.

The Office shall maintain deep-sea database systems, benthic deep-sea cameras and image collections.
