UJNR Sea Bottom Surveys Panel

The UJNR or United States-Japan Cooperative Program in Natural Resources, is a bilateral cooperative program between the United States and Japan. The program focuses on scientific and technological collaboration in various fields related to natural resources, including energy, environment, and earth sciences. UJNR was established 50 years ago to facilitate the exchange of information, expertise, and technology between the two countries. The UJNR program covers a range of topics, such as geology, geophysics, seismology, oceanography, energy resources, environmental conservation, and more. There are over a dozen panels in total, and the one we are concerned with (Sea Bottom Surveys) was facilitated by UCAR in 2018. It involves collaboration between researchers, scientists, and experts from both the United States and Japan, fostering mutual understanding and advancement in these scientific and technological areas.
