familiar with various techniques using isotope ratio mass spectroscopy. He has already published severalpapers related with developments of new analytic methods and measurements of natural hydrothermal fluidsamples. These create his strong scientific strength. In his present research, he has learned lots ofmicrobiological techniques such as tracer experiments and cultivations of different chemolithotrophicmicroorganisms. Thus, I am able to promise that he is becoming very few persons of true multi-disciplines inthe world. Meanwhile, I can point out that his weakness is lack of international presence and vision. In fact, Istrongly hope that this InterRidge Student and Postdoctoral Fellowship Program 2010 will be a great chancefor him to overcome his weakness and to grow up as a more promising research scientist in the related fields.[His personality]He is very cheerful and friendly with any types of peoples. He is also one of the most active young scientists inthe Japanese geochemistry society. He has already served as a representative of young generation in theJapanese Geochemistry Society and promoted many symposia and workshops for young generation. Hisleadership is prominent and he is now the youngest committee of the Japanese Geochemistry Society. Not onlyhis establishment in the Japanese geochemistry society but also his adaptation ability to the new science fieldsis excellent. He has joined many domestic and international conferences of geological and microbiologicalsocieties and has generated diverse connections with persons of different backgrounds. I am very confident thathis personality will be very welcomed in Dr. Jeffery Seewald’s lab and the American society. I am also veryconfident that the host lab, society and country will have benefits from his great personality.Based on the reasons mentioned above, I affirm again that Dr. Shinsuke Kawagucci deserves the highestrecommendation for InterRidge Student and Postdoctoral Fellowship Program 2010.Sincerely yours,Ken Takai, Ph.D.Program Director & Laboratory LeaderSubsurface Geobiology Advanced Research (SUGAR) Project&Precambrian Ecosystem Laboratory (PEL)Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science & Technology (JAMSTEC),2-15 Natsushima-cho,Yokosuka 237-0061, JAPANPhone: +81-46-867-9677Fax: +81-46-867-9715E-mail: kent@jamstec.go.jp
Dr. Jeffrey S. Seewald, Senior Scientist, Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry DepartmentApril 1, 2010Dr. Debbie MiltonInterRidge CoordinatorNational Oceanography Centre, SouthamptonEuropean WaySouthamptonSO14 3ZHUKDear Dr. Milton:I am writing to express my enthusiastic support for Dr. Shinsuke Kawagucci application for an InterRidgePostdoctoral Fellowship. I would welcome the opportunity to collaborate with Dr. Kawagucci during amonth long visit to my lab at WHOI. The project he proposes will constrain the origin of methane insediment-covered hydrothermal systems. In particular, the experiments will not only provide informationon formation mechanisms, but will also place the generation of methane in a spatial and temporal contextduring the convective circulation of hydrothermal fluids through the oceanic lithosphere. These topicsrepresent important, but poorly understood, aspects of ridge-crest hydrothermal research.All of the experimental and analytical equipment necessary for this study are available in my laboratory atWHOI. This includes four sets of flexible-cell hydrothermal apparatus, numerous gas and ionchromatographs for characterization of alteration products, and a GC-IRMS system for carbon andhydrogen isotopic measurements. I am happy to provide the necessary training for Dr. Kawagucci toconduct these experiments and the necessary supplies. The one month time frame allocated to completethis work is reasonable for the type of experiment described in the research proposal. I stronglyrecommend that you give Dr. Kawagucci’s application serious consideration. It represents an excellentcollaboration between US and Japanese scientists.Sincerely,Jeff SeewaldMS#4 • Woods Hole, MA 02543 • 508.289.2966 • Fax 508.457.2164• jseewald@whoi.edu
