International Workshop

Unlocking the opening processes of the

 South China Sea
Tongji University, Shanghai.  January 31-February 01, 2012. 

SECOND CIRCULAR 

 

The South China Sea (SCS) is a classical representative of western Pacific marginal seas; it developed from continental margin rifting and is floored with oceanic crust. Despite its short evolutionary history, compelling research opportunities abound for a multitude of key tectonic processes ranging from rifting through seafloor spreading to subduction, as well as for the cyclical climatic changes impacting southeast Asia. Its relatively small size facilitates tectonic comparisons between conjugate continental margins and makes it accessible through a single expedition of scientific ocean drilling. These attributes make the SCS an exemplary natural laboratory for studying continental break-up, basin formation, mantle and lithosphere evolution, and land-ocean interactions. However, lack of any deep scientific borehole in the central SCS basin leaves a gap in understanding of the opening mechanisms, tectonism and environmental history in the region. Building on an existing IODP drilling proposal, this workshop will seek contributions from the international community, including scientists from non-IODP member states that have a strong scientific interest in the SCS, with the goal of developing the most efficient research and drilling strategy to address key questions in tectonics and environmental history of the SCS.

1. Overall scientific objectives 

-To  boost further international collaborations in geological researches in the SCS;

-To broaden the scope of the IODP proposal 735-CPP;

-To identify and refine both regional questions related to East Asian geology and fundamental issues regarding continental breakup and basin formation.

 

2.  Scope of topics to be covered

- Processes on tectonic transitions. A variety of different transitions occurred during the formation of the SCS. They include the early Mesozoic transition from a predominately Tethys regime to a Paleo-Pacific regime, the late Mesozoic transition from an active continental margin to a passive one, the Cenozoic transition from continental breakup to seafloor spreading, and the initiation of ridge jumps and subduction zones. These singular and transient geological processes play critical roles in Earth’s evolution but their mechanisms and processes remain poorly understood.

- Magmatism and its role in rifting, spreading, and underplating. What is the origin of the post-rifting magmatic activity? Are there high-velocity lower-crustal bodies at the margins? What is the nature of the “transitional crust” between the continental margins and oceanic crust in the deep SCS basin? Volcanic flows? Exhumed mantle? Middle/lower continental crust? Hyperextended continental crust ?

- Deep-marine sedimentary responses to tectonic and climatic events. As relative small marginal basins immediately surrounded by numerous continental blocks, the SCS and the Huatung Basin are very sensitive to East Asian and western Pacific tectonic and climatic pulses and have recorded these information in the post-drifting sediments. These marginal basins are ideal places for studying continent-ocean interactions and their climatic and sedimentary consequences.

- Deep mantle-seawater-biosphere interactions and co-evolution in responses to continental breakup and seawater infiltrations. Specific problems include (a) whether and how the western Pacific marginal basins are related to the eastward mantle flow caused by the India-Eurasia collision, to the westward subduction of the Pacific, or the northward convergence of the Indo-Australian plate, and (b) whether and how the uppermost mantle is magnetized, potentially linked to in-situ serpentinization caused possibly by infiltration of seawater through large transform faults. These complicated processes and their manifestations in geophysical fields and their influences on deep biosphere need be better formulated through a workshop.

The address of Tongji University is:  1239 Siping Road, Shanghai 200092, China

 

7.  Ground transportation

      There are two international airports in Shanghai, the Pudong International Airport (airport code PVG) and the Hongqiao International Airport (airport code SHA). Please be aware at which airport you will be landing.

     You can reach Days Hotel Tongji University from the airports by taxi, metro (subway), airport bus or any combination of the three.

 

From the Pudong International Airport:

Taxi: Please take a taxi at the airport directly to the hotel. It takes about one hour and costs about 160 yuan (RMB).

Maglev + taxi: Take the Maglev at the Pudong Airport, get off the Maglev at the Longyang Station (terminal of Maglev). Then, take a taxi to the hotel. Ticket of Maglev: 50 yuan each, or 40 yuan each by showing your flight ticket. Taxi costs about 60 yuan.

Maglev + Metros: This is a cheaper but more complicated choice. Take Maglev at the Pudong Airport, transit to Metro Line 2 at the Longyang Sta. (terminal of Maglev), then change to Metro Line 10 at the “East Nanjing Road” Sta., and get off at the “Tongji University” Sta. The hotel is about 100 meters away to the east of this station.

Metros only: Take Metro Line 2 at the Pudong Airport, transit to Metro Line 10 at the “East Nanjing Road” Sta., and get off at the “Tongji University” Sta. The hotel is about 100 meters away to the east of this station. It costs only ~10 Yuan for this option but you need ~1.5 hr to get to the hotel.

Airport bus + Taxi: Take Airport Bus Line 4 at the Pudong Airport (20 Yuan), get off the bus at Wujiaochang station, and then take a taxi to the hotel for about 11 yuan.

 

From the Hongqiao International Airport:

Taxi: It takes you about 50 minutes and costs ~90 yuan. There are also Airport buses, but none of those comes close to Tongji.

Metros (option 1, recommended): Take Metro Line 10 at the Hongqiao Airport, and get off at the “Tongji University” Sta. The hotel is about 100 meters away to the east of this station. It costs ~6 Yuan and takes ~1.0 hr to get to the hotel.

Metros (option 2): Take Metro Line 2 at the Hongqiao Airport, transit to Metro Line 10 at the “East Nanjing Road” Sta., and get off at the “Tongji University” Sta. The hotel is about 100 meters away to the east of this station. It costs ~10 Yuan and takes ~1.0 hr to get to the hotel.

 

Taxi is recommended if your arrival at the airports will be later than 21:00 PM. Please show the following note to the taxi driver:

 

8.  Visiting Shanghai

Although often viewed as a modern metropolis, Shanghai still contains some picturesque rural suburban areas. Shanghai boasts several museums of regional and national importance. You can venture yourself around the city center near the Bund and the People’s Square, where shopping centers and restaurants are abundant. For more information please visit these sites or other similar sites.

Weather

It is a cold season in January and February in Shanghai, with average temperatures ranging from ~0°C to ~8°C. Some heavyweight clothing is recommended. The weather forecast of Shanghai is available

at http://weather.china.org.cn/english/.

 

Subway

The subway system in Shanghai is convenient. The “Tongji University” station of Metro Line 10 is very close to the hotel, and the Metro line 10 is directly connected to many other lines throughout the city. A subway ticket costs mostly from 2 yuan to 7 yuan, depending on distance.

Currency & Money Exchange

Chinese currency is called Renminbi (RMB) which means “People’s Currency”. The units are 圆yuan, 角jiao (0.1 yuan), and 分fen (0.01 yuan). The paper currency includes 100, 50, 20, 10, 5 and rarely 1 yuan, and coins include 1, 0.5, and 0.1 yuan. Occasionally you may receive 0.05, 0.02, and 0.01 yuan coin as change in supermarkets. See more details at

http://www.chinatour.com/currency/currency.htm.

Money exchange is available in the Airport upon your arrival, and you will need Chinese money for transportation. There are also some banks, and some 24- hour open ATMs near your hotel.
