A philosophical study on selection criteria of human, biological and global environmental specimens for ultra-long term preservation

本报告涵盖了一个环境时间胶囊（ET胶囊），它将在超长时间内保留样本和数据。这些样本将在遥远的未来成为研究人员的基础数据。我们计划于2001年1月1日00：00在南极洲海拔3,800米的富士圆顶山顶上密封ET Capusle。现有生物和环境有害物质储存的分类，2.主要过去时间胶囊的比较，3.提出了一种新的生物和环境标本的时间胶囊，分类和比较的基础上，4.抽样的基本策略和样本的选择; 5.简要说明了富士山的气象和冰盖条件;时间表的项目到2001年。

An environmental time capsule, or ETCapsule, which will retain samples and data for an ultralong period is covered in this report. The samples will serve as fundamental data for researchers in the distant future. We plan to seal the ETCapusle at 00 : 00, January 1,2001 on the top of the Dome Fuji, 3,800 m above sea level, in the antarctic continent.This report summarizes research in the basic study phase, which contains1. classification of existing storages of biological and environmental specimens,2. comparison of major past time capsule,3. a proposal of a new time capsule for biological and environmental specimens, based on the classification and comparison,4. basic strategies for sampling and selection of samples,5. brief explanation on meteorologicla and ice cover conditions of Dome Fuji, and6. time schedule of the project to the year of 2001.
