#1. Preface
by Hodaka Kawahata, President of JpGU

Welcome to the Japan Geoscience Union (JpGU). JpGU has a history of
over a quarter of a century in advance research on the Earth and
Planetary Science (Space and Planetary Sciences, Atmospheric and
Hydrospheric Sciences, Human Geosciences, Solid Earth Sciences,
Biogeosicences). Currently, 50 Japanese Geoscience Societies have
been our member.

The systems and processes dealt with by earth and planetary
scientists are almost always complicated and their phenomena
usually show many diverse aspects. Therefore, multi-dimensional
researches are inevitable to understand the current situation of
the earth, to make the past clear and to predict the future.
Together with an overarching approach to global issues, regional
issues are also important. Japanese archipelagos are located along
the active margin with big earthquakes and volcanos, affected by
Kuroshio, one of strong western boundary currents, and influenced
by the combination of Asian Monsoon and El Nino-Southern Oscillation.
Furthermore, our community succeeded to collect the world’s first
samples from an asteroid. We think that our community of Earth and
Planetary Science has been making a big contribution to the advanced
science in this research filed with a collaboration of global
communities.

JpGU facilitates community’s scientific activity through JpGU
Annual Meeting, Progress in Earth and Planetary Science (PEPS),
newsletter (JGL), etc. Especially, PEPS, a peer-reviewed open access
e-journal, is the official journal of JpGU and is published in
partnership with Springer Nature (formerly BioMed Central). PEPS was
launched on 22nd April 2014.Two years have passed since then and
PEPS was currently registered both in Thomson Reuters Emerging Source
Citation Index and Directory of Open Access Journals. We hope PEPS
keeps developing in the future.

JpGU is one of the leading global Earth and Planetary Science
organizations, and has a total membership of about10,000. The JpGU
annual meeting is one of the four major Earth and Planetary Science
meetings in the world, with approximately 5,000 oral and poster
presentations in total at recent meeting. JpGU wishes to strengthen
the inter-union ties with the American Geophysical Union (AGU),
the European Geosciences Union (EGU), and the Asia Oceania Geosciences
Society (AOGS)), with each of which JpGU has memoranda of
understanding to promote the development of international research
activity. We will make much effort to make a successful and fruitful
joint meeting with AGU at Makuhari-messe in May 2017.

#2. Session proposal for JpGU-AGU Joint Meeting 2017

Our next meeting will be a joint meeting with AGU. It will be held
for six days, from May 20th(SAT) to 25th(THU), 2017 t Makuhari
Messe, Chiba, Japan.

New for 2017: As JpGU-AGU Joint Meeting 2017 is a joint meeting with AGU,
all sessions including Japanese sessions will be treated as joint
sessions.
*The date is extended.

->Recent schedule (Tentative) *All in JST.
JpGU-AGU Joint Meeting 2017 website opens: September 1st(THU), 2016
Session proposal: September 1st (MON)- October 13th(THU), 2016
Release sessions on the web: November 14th (MON), 2016
Abstract submission: January 6th (FRI) – February 16th (THU), 2017

We are wainting for your participation.

#4. Asking for donation to Japan Geoscience Union

Japan Geoscience Union started to recruit donation to help promote
non-profitable activities of JpGU, such as supporting early career
scientists, etc.

Receipts available for income tax reports are issued.
JpGU will be given tax incentives if we meet specific requirements,
and donors can enjoy more preferential treatments for tax deduction.

If you need the documents for donation, please contact us.
We’ll be waiting for your donation.
