Background

The goal of this workshop is to explore the question of structure, composition, and evolution of Earth's interior in light of recent advances in experimental and observational data. The topics we plan addressing are the origin of the core and mantle, the evolution from the magma ocean to the solid mantle and then to the present Earth, its bulk composition, the extent and scale of its heterogeneities, and innovations in exploratory research. This workshop is co-sponsored by Earth-Life Science Institue and MEXT Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas "Interaction and Coevolution of the Core and Mantle: Toward Integrated Deep Earth Science". We are planning to have ~35-40 talks and ~20-60 posters.

Venue

Dogo Prince Hotel (Matsuyama, Ehime, Japan)

The meeting will be hosted this autumn at a Japanese hot-spring resort (http://www.dogoprince.co.jp/) located in Matsuyama, on the island of Shikoku.
Access: http://earth.sci.ehime-u.ac.jp/~ichikawa/tmp/Dogo/access.pdf

There is shuttle bus (460 yen (Taxi: ~3000 yen)) from Matsuyama airport to Dogo onsen station (~500 m from Dogo prince hotel) (http://www.iyotetsu.co.jp/bus/global/en/).

The facility is a traditional inn with a hot spring that will facilitate interactions in the official sessions and spare unscheduled time. There will also be opportunity for short excursions to nearby touristical sights in Matsuyama.
