2024 April 2 From March 27 to March 29 two members of our research group installed an MWPC-based Muography Observation System (MMOS) at Unzen volcano, Japan. The muographic surveying will be conducted in collaboration with Sabo Frontier Foundation, Japan. The aim of the measurement is to charaterizing structural features of a lava deposit that is located on the peak of the volcanic edifice. This muographic surveying is expected to be contribute to the protection of surrounding area.

2024 March 1 From February 22 to February 29 two members of our research group installed an MWPC-based Muography Observation System (MMOS) at the Samail Ophiolite at Wadi Fizh, Oman. The muographic surveying will be conducted in collaboration with the Kanazawa University, Japan and the Ministry of Energy and Minerals (MEM) of the Sultanate of Oman. The aim of the measurement is to study the Moho transition zone located between the crustal and mantle layers exist in this ophiolite. The scientific background of this project has been published in the conference proceedings entitled " Plans for Muography of Samail Ophiolite " in Journal of Advanced Instrumentation in Science.
