    Scope of the workshop
    We are carrying out a research project "Normal Oceanic Mantle" (http://www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp/yesman/what_is_it.html) to conduct the innovative observations in the "normal" ocean floor toward understanding of the mantle dynamics.
    The typical ocean floor should be the best window to reveal the fundamental features of our planet, and high-quality geophysical data are now being accumulated.
    Considering that many other fascinating ocean floor observations have been conducted or are now in progress, we will hold a workshop to exchange and discuss the up-to-date results about the structure and dynamics in the oceanic regions.
    We welcome papers on the observation technologies, the picture of the oceanic mantle, the strategies for interpretation of the observed data, and other related topics.
