| Title | Forum for Global Data Sciences in Earth and Planetary Research |
| Convener | MURAYAMA, Yasuhiro |
| Scope | The international society is increasingly agreeing with the idea of sharing scientific data openly between society and scientists, as stated in "The Future We Want" at RIO+20 2012, and the Open Data Charter agreed by G8 in UK June 2013. Data is also one of the most important multidisciplinary issues for JpGU. Significant research areas in The Union stand on research data which are substantially important in its sciences and cannot be obtained and/or be produced again. In international context, ICSU-WDS (World Data System) is proceeding for goals of open data sharing and long term preservation. DIAS (Data Integration and Analysis System) is under development as Japanese contribution to GEO/GEOSS. New actions are starting including Future Earth, re-forming global environmental science enterprises, and also Belmont Forum's discussion of e-infrastructure development whose targets include a support of Future Earth's data activity. Furthermore academic publishers like Thomson-Reuters and WDS started collaboration for data publication and data citation (use e.g. DOI or Digital Object Identifiers attached to datasets for citation in scientific articles). Discussions and exchanges of ideas, difficulties and challenges will be covered for future international data framework. |

| U-02 | |
| Title | Particle Geophysics |
| Convener | TANAKA, Hiroyuki |
| Scope | The great success in the imaging of volcanoes with elementary particles called muons (muography) as well as in the detection of neutrinos generated inside the earth (geo-neutrinos) has resulted in observation opportunities completely independent from the capabilities of conventional geophysical methods. By facilitating the future goals and concerns of the geophysical community, ideally shared among the muography observation group, geo-neutrino observation group, and earth scientists through international and interdisciplinary interactions, the aim is to strengthen the evolution of particle geophysics. Various muographical projects have been promoted worldwide, and each international group has been producing valuable results. Concerning geo-neutrino detection, the quantity of radioactive materials generating heat inside the Earth will be recognized via the frequency of geo-neutrino counts. Since this radioactive heat generation reflects the geodynamics and the chemical composition of the building blocks of our planet, improvements to measurement accuracy will likely yield useful geo-scientific information in the near future. With active cooperation between international communities, we aspire to expand the frontiers of earth observation techniques. |

| Title | Lightning and TLEs and Their Effects on the Lower and Middle Atmosphere |
| Convener | SATO, Mitsuteru |
| Scope | Lightning is the energetic phenomena of electrical breakdown, occurring after charge separation processes operating on micro and macro-scales, leading to strong electric fields within thunderstorms. Lightning has severe impact on the lower and middle atmoephere and can excite transient luminous events (TLEs) occurring at the stratosphere and mesosphere. In addition to this, lightning is always associated with severe weather and tropical storms like typhoons and hurricanes, often accompanied by torrential rains and flash floods. It has significant chemical and physical effects on the troposphere and mesosphere and drives the fair-weather electric field. In this session, new results derived from the recent satellite observations of lightning and TLEs (JEM-GLIMS mission) will be presented. This session also seeks contributions on the meteorology of thunderstorms, the detection of thunderstorms from space and ground networks, using lightning data as proxy for severe weather, the climatic effects of thunderstorms and their impact on the global circuit. |

| Title |
VarSITI - Variability of the Sun and Its Terrestrial Impact AOGS2014 Joint Session [ST26: VarSITI - Variability of the Sun and Its Terrestrial Impact] |
| Convener | SHIOKAWA, Kazuo |
| Scope |
During the last solar minimum in 2008-2009, the solar activity became extremely low. Then the next solar maximum of sunspot cycle 24 shows much lower activities compared with the previous two solar maximums in cycle 22 and 23. The scientists in the solar-terrestrial physics are watching very unusual solar activities and their consequences on Earth which have never been observed since modern scientific measurements become available. The next SCOSTEP program "Variability of the Sun and Its Terrestrial Impact (VarSITI)" (2014-2018) will focus on this particular solar activity and their consequences on Earth, for various times scales from the order of thousands years to milliseconds, and for various locations and their connections from the solar interior to the Earth's atmosphere. In order to elucidate these various sun-earth connections, we encourage communication between solar scientists (solar interior, sun, and the heliosphere) and geospace scientists (magnetosphere, ionosphere, and atmosphere). Campaign observations will be promoted for particular interval in collaboration with relevant satellite and ground-based missions as well as modeling efforts. Four scientific projects will be carried out in VarSITI as (1) Solar Evolution and Extrema (SEE), (2) International Study of Earth-Affecting Solar Transients (ISEST/Minimax24), (3) Specification and Prediction of the Coupled Inner-Magnetospheric Environment (SPeCIMEN), and (4) Role Of the Sun and the Middle atmosphere/thermosphere/ionosphere In Climate (ROSMIC). This international session gives a forum to discuss on-going and planned scientific projects related to VarSITI, in order to make coordination of various projects between the sun and the earth. All presentations related to the solar-terrestrial relationship are welcome in the field of ground and satellite observations, theory, modeling, and applications for space weather forecast, as well as capacity building.During the last solar minimum in 2008-2009, the solar activity became extremely low.

| Title | Wave, Turbulence, Reconnection, and Energetic Particles in Solar, Space and Laboratory |
| Convener | Yan Huirong |
| Scope |
Magnetized plasmas are frequently filled with waves and turbulence in both space and laboratory. In the context of solar and space physics, wave and turbulence play a critical role in generating the Sun's magnetic field, heating its atmosphere to millions of Kelvin, driving the solar wind, picking up the newly ionized ions, and in interpreting the Voyager data at and beyond the edge of the Heliosphere. Waves transport energy to different regions and their dissipation directly leads to heating plasmas. In the heating of the solar wind, compressible processes have recently been paid much attention in the dissipation of Alfvenic turbulence. Also, particle transport is determined by turbulence. Recent advances in understanding MHD turbulence induce substantial changes in the understanding of cosmic ray transport in turbulent magnetic field. In addition, turbulence enables fast magnetic reconnection and magnetic reconnection has shown the ability to accelerate energetic particles efficiently. We aim at creating a forum for experts to summarize recent significant advances in the corresponding fields and to discuss new directions. We cordially seek for the contributions from experts of these several directions in particular: a) How compressibility is important in the dissipation of Alfvenic turbulence; b) How turbulence changes the properties of magnetic reconnection; c) Feedback of magnetic reconnection on turbulence in magnetized plasmas; d) Particle acceleration in turbulence and reconnection; The need for laboratory plasma physicists to participate is essential. Their work has proven very helpful to bridge the gap between theory and what happens in natural settings. Experiments can model collisionality regimes ranging from moderately collisionless to quite collisional. 3D data sets, with spatial resolution down below the MHD dissipation scale, can be used to evaluate reconnecting, turbulent hierarchies of scales both in space and in time. |

Satellite Earth Environment Observation AOGS2014 Joint Session [AS48: Earth Environment Observation Satellites: projects, sciences and applications] |
| Convener | OKI, Riko |
| Scope | In recent years, we cannot avoid facing issues on global environmental changes that occur in various spatiotemporal scales. The earth environmental observation data by satellites became the necessary basic data to tackle and solve those issues. Due to the recent advancement in the observation sensor technique and the data processing technique, the satellite observation has been showing rapid progress, and the time is changing from examining the accuracy of the observation sensor data to the advancement of the data application, leading to broaden potential users. Although earth environmental remote sensing studies tended to be discussed separately in the individual conference so far, in these days where application became synergetic, we comprehensively pick up this topic in the Atmospheric and Hydrospheric Sciences Session of this Union Meeting that enables to comprise the atmospheric, oceanic and land sciences; by combining the intelligence and the knowledge of the party, we propose a session that aims to prompt further studies towards the issues on earth environmental change and the advancement in the data application. |

| Title | Insight into change and evolution in hydrology |
| Convener | TANI, Makoto |
| Scope |
Fluctuations in the water and chemical cycles icluding floods, droughts, and water-quality impacts are influeced by long-term changes and/or evolutions in catchment properties and climate conditions. For example, to predict stormflow responses only from the cachment topography is difficult because the runoff mechanism is strongly controlled by bedrock-weathering and soil-evolution processes. Such a concept of change and evolution is raised by IAHS, called 'Panta Rhei,' as its decadal intiaitive from 2013 following PUB (Predictions in ungauges basins), and the international disscussions have started. http://distart119.ing.unibo.it/pantarhei/?q=node/1 In paralle with this activity, we are now conducting a project on dependences of rainfall-runoff responses on a temporally-nested structure of topographic, soil, and vegetation developments under the JSPS budget from 2011 to 2015. In this session, presentaions addressing effects of natural changes and their interactions on the water and chemical cycles are encouraged, and chaneges originated from human influences including the disturbances and managements are also welcomed. |

| Title | Natural hazards: impacts on society, economy, and technological systems |
| Convener | PETOROVA, ELENA |
| Scope | The last decade set a sad record in the number and scale of natural disasters and clearly demonstrated high vulnerability of human society and technosphere to their impacts. The most serious consequences have the so-called natural-technological disasters that have place when natural hazards trigger accidents at technological objects such as nuclear power plants, chemical plants, oil refineries and pipelines, etc. One of the most large-scaled natural-technological disasters occurred on March 11, 2011 in Japan as a result of a massive 9.0-magnitude earthquake off the northeast coast of Honshu Island that caused a more than 30-meter tsunami. A distinctive feature of natural-technological events, such as of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, is their multihazard and synergistic nature with a disaster impact on the technosphere, resulting in simultaneous occurrences of numerous technological accidents. It is very difficult to deal with the consequences of such natural-technological accidents and disasters, because one has to cope not only with the primary aftermaths of the natural disaster itself, but also with the secondary effects of a number of technological accidents, which can be much more serious. These consequences are the more severe the higher are the population density and concentration of industrial facilities and infrastructure (especially hazardous and vulnerable objects) in disaster-affected areas. The main goal of this multidisciplinary session is to summarize case studies of relationships between natural hazards and technological disasters, their social and economic consequences; and to encourage a discussion about tools and methods to prevent disasters and to minimize their consequences. |

| Title | Earthquake predictability research after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake (2) |
| Convener | TSURUOKA, Hiroshi |
| Scope | Modern earthquake predictability studies emphasize the importance of testing earthquake forecast models. Japan, California, New Zealand, and other regions are currently operating or developing regional centers for such testing experiments under the auspices of the Collaboratory for the Study of Earthquake Predictability (CSEP). These experiments are yielding a better understanding not only of the models' basic features but also of particular physical aspects of earthquake occurrence. We solicit presentations about a wide variety of forecast models including statistical and/or physics-based models, their components, performance, and methods of testing. We would like to discuss problems in forecasting large earthquakes such as recent devastating events in Japan and New Zealand. In addition, evaluation methods of earthquake forecasting are discussed. |

| Convener | Mysen Bjorn |
| Scope |
Characterization of the geophysical and geochemical interaction between minerals, fluid and magmatic liquid in subduction zone processes is central to our understanding of this environment. To this end, integrated observational, experimental, and theoretical studies are needed. Solubility and solution mechanisms of fluids in minerals and melts, and of silicate in fluids and linkages between solubility, solution mechanisms, chemical and physical properties of these materials under appropriate temperature, pressure, and redox conditions are needed. This session will bring together scientists with focus on current experimental, theoretical, and observational understanding of how to model physicochemical properties of subducting slabs including spatial relation between intraslab seismicity such as slow-slip events and fluids pore pressure of fluids and their role in the weakening of shear strength of rocks accumulation and transfer of fluids and melts solubility measurements of minor elements, trace elements, and stable isotopes in aqueous fluids and melts, how water and oxide components in aqueous fluids govern element and isotope partitioning between fluid, melt, and crystalline materials, and linkages between solubility, partitioning, and rheological properties and solution mechanisms of water and silicate in minerals, melts, and fluids Characterization of the geophysical and geochemical interaction between minerals, fluid and magmatic liquid in subduction zone processes is central to our understanding of this environment.

| Title | Fluid flow, deformation and physical properties of the subduction boundary and forearc mantle |
| Convener | WALLIS, Simon |
| Scope | Subduction brings oceanic crustal material into direct contact with the overlying mantle wedge. The subduction boundary changes its slip behaviour from seismic to aseismic with increasing depth. The deep forearc region around the tip of mantle wedge shows a transitional nature with episodic tremor and slip which are probably strongly influenced by sustained fluid flow. The amount of fluid release in the forearc is not well constrained but is thought to depend on the thermal structure of the subduction zone. Fluid released into the forearc mantle will cause a transformation of mantle rock to serpentinite. This metamorphic transformation implies a major volume change and a change in physical properties of the mantle. Despite considerable recent advances in understanding these processes, there is no good consensus on how strong this forearc region is likely to be or how fluids are transported. Such information is vital in developing more complete tectonic models of these geologically and geophysically important regions. In this session we aim to contribute to our understanding of the deep forearc by bringing together the results of a variety of different approaches including field based observations, experimental work, theoretical modeling and geophysical observations on deformation, reaction and physical properties in fluid-rock systems. |

| Title | Cause and evolution of plate tectonics: Advances in understanding oceanic plate-continental systems |
| Convener | BECKER, Thorsten |
| Scope |
Plate tectonics is moderately well described by the behavior of a cold thermal boundary layer in thermal convection. However, Earth's thermal evolution is co-determined by fractionation and the resulting complexities of a thermo-chemical system. The recent years have seen dramatic advances in our ability to quantitatively model the behavior of such a system, and there has also been a resurgence in the analysis of geological, geophysical, and geochemical constraints on plate tectonics over time. We invite contributions from across the disciplines that speak to the question on how and why plate tectonics operates on terrestrial planets, including but not limited to: modeling studies of plate generation; convection studies including continental cycles; plate tectonic reconstruction analysis; geochemical reservoir evolution; stochastic and deterministic models of mantle structure; deep mantle phase transition dynamics;basal magma ocean dynamics; thermo-chemical pile dynamics; links between solid Earth and exosphere;continent formation and destruction; and long term volatile cycles. |

| Convener | Mysen Bjorn |
| Scope |
Characterization of the processes that govern the behavior, budget, and recycling of volatiles in the Earth's interior is fundamental to our understanding of the formation and evolution of the solid Earth, its oceans, and atmosphere. In the proposed session, we will focus on theoretical, experimental, and observational characterization of solubility and solution mechanisms of C-O-H-N-S volatiles in molten and crystalline materials and of oxide components in C-O-H-N-S fluid in the pressure, temperature, composition and redox range of Earth's past and current interior. The major session foci will be: Modeling the impact of C-O-H-N-S fluids on composition and evolution of the Earth via metasomatic and magmatic processes. Characterization of structure and properties in silicate- C-O-H-N-S melt, mineral, and fluid systems via theoretical modeling and high-temperature/-pressure experimental studies. Experimental characterization, at high temperature and pressure, of fractionation of components, compounds and isotopes in the C-O-H-N-S system between minerals, melts, and fluids. Element complexing in individual phases, interaction between silicate and trace and minor elements in fluids and melts at high temperature and pressure. Examine the principles on which to quantify property behavior and its application to natural processes that include fluids and melts. |

Microcracks preceding ruptures in the crust related to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and landslides AOGS2014 Joint Session [SE02: Fluid Dynamics in the Solid EarthSciences] [IG06: Disaster Mitigation, Recovery and Early Warning -Earthquake and Tsunami Hazards] [SE25: Earthquake predictability research after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake] EGU2014 Joint Session [NH4.3: Electro-magnetic phenomena and connections with seismo-tectonic activity] |
| Convener | FUJINAWA, Yukio |
| Scope |
The microcrack has been widely investigated in various disciplines including seismology and geotechnical engineering communities. The disastrous natural events as earthquake, volcanic eruption or ground slide are considered as rupture of crust consisting of heterogeneous rocks. These rupture precede small cracks in the preparatory stage of main ruptures. The rupture of smallest scale accompanies the so-called acoustic emission (AE) providing means to investigate rupture process and to monitor the health check of the rocks. Recent years the investigation has extended to the seismo-electromagnetic phenomena especially to find precursors for short-term prediction. Moreover characteristics of the electromagnetic phenomena are suggested to open new windows to look into the state of the medium and rupture phenomena. The crust of the earth is elastic-porous medium filled with fluids as water. The research on the rupture had a remarkable progress in early 1990 contributing to interpret the mysterious seismoelectric phenomena associated earthquakes. Examples are 1) the faster propagation of co-seismic signal with velocity much larger than the p-wave, 2)the ULF band anomalies associated the slow-slip of subducting slab and 3)the converted electromagnetic mode at the material contrast for surveying oil and gas. And, 4) the electromagnetic method has been shown to detect micro-cracks preceding natural earthquakes suggesting that the nucleation stage can be identified. In this session we intend to summarize state of arts of investigation on microcrack in variety of disciplines to make further progress on the basis of new finding of phenomena and new techniques proposed. We hope to contribute to build more practical prediction method of earthquake, volcanic eruption, and ground-slide. |

| Title | Biocalcification and the Geochemistry of Proxies |
| Convener | TOYOFUKU, Takashi |
| Scope |
In order to reconstruct the Earth climate system, marine paleoclimatologists resort to transfer functions or geochemical proxies, which are produced or affected by organisms. The relationships used for reconstructions are generally based on field calibrations or derived from laboratory experiments. The danger of these so called empirical relationships is that they maybe valid only within the restricted parameter space of their calibration. Application of proxy relationships to very different environmental settings (e.g. high vs. low latitude or glacial vs. interglacial) requires a mechanistic understanding of these relationships. Much progress can be expected by a better understanding of the biocalcification mechanisms and the incorporation of proxy signals. In this session we invite contributions related to the biocalcification, calibration and validation of marine proxies. |

| Title | Ocean education in tomorrow's classrooms |
| Convener | LIU, Chi-Min |
| Scope | This is a poster-only session for presenting current progress and new ideas in all aspects of ocean education. As ocean science and technology speedily advance nowadays, the arising important issue is how to transfer the progress and knowledge from researchers to students in classroom. Such a gap between research and teaching is always a challenge in classrooms not only for teachers and researchers but also for undergraduate or younger students. Therefore the main target of this session is to provide a forum for discussing and seeking the strategies to connect the gap by all possible methods and technologies. Topics which include, but are not limited to educational multimedia, online education, new development of teaching materials, classroom activities and collaborative learning are welcome. |

Land-ocean linkages in East Asian marginal seas AOGS2014 Joint Session [IG35: Paleoclimatology and paleoceanography in the East Asian marginal seas] |
| Convener | TADA, Ryuji |
| Scope | Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 346 "Asian Monsoon" aimed to explore the timing of the onset as well as the evolution of the Asian Monsoon and its impact on paleoceanography in East Asian marginal seas through scientific drilling in the Japan Sea and the northern East China Sea. The expedition was conducted in the summer of 2013 and successfully retrieved continuous sedimentary records as old as 15 Ma.? These long and continuous sedimentary records will be soon open to the geoscience community and will provide a unique opportunity to study paleoceanography and paleoclimatology in East Asian marginal seas and the interactions between the Asian continent and East Asian marginal seas.? Before starting intensive studies using these valuable materials, it will be worthwhile to summarize the existing knowledge on paleoclimate in East Asia, the stratigraphy and paleoceanography of the East Asian marginal seas, and? the interactions between them.? This international session (and a special volume for a new JpGU online journal) aims to review and synthesize such existing knowledge and provide guidance to future directions of research in these fields. |

| Title | Luni-solar gravitational, solar thermal tides and their modes in geospheres and in the biosphere |
| Convener | PEROV, Stanislav |
| Scope |
The luni-solar gravitational tides in the atmosphere are recorded as the waves with the periods close to one day and its subharmonics. Some of them are usually interpreted as the proper atmospheric modes. They commonly have either the amplitude or the frequency modulations. A new explanation of the quasi-diurnal and quasi-semidiurnal tides lines in the spectrum of the atmospheric angular momentum (AAM) and other atmospheric characteristics is proposed. The role of gravity tides in the dynamics of the atmosphere and the ocean is underestimated. The reasons of a wrong estimation of a role of the tidal phenomena in geophysics are explained. It is shown that ~3.5 and ~7 days tidal periods forcings determine processes in the atmosphere (tropical depressions, cyclones (incl. tropical), monsoon precipitation periodicity, magnetosphere oscillations and increase the medical statistics in cardio-vascular illnesses and in other ones as well (see below). Luni-solar gravitational tides correlates absolutely with Earth rotation rate (ERR) and can be calculated for any time in advance. So, the 1st main conclusion must be done that atmosphere/ocean phenomena are deterministic processes rather than stochastics ones. That leads inevitably to the 2nd important inference: so called the time limit of forecasting (f.e. for weather change) is not exist! 3d one is: we deal with open physical system that is resonant one. The correlation of 3,5 and 7 days periods of weather change with the same periods of human health parameters has been established. In the research of 33 genealogical trees, on the basis of detection of significant divergence with a random distribution of dates of birth among the genetic relatives respectively to two solar long-period harmonics known from the Earth tide theory, a hypothesis of the regular cosmogeophysical oscillations influence' mechanism on hormone secretion in the humans' organisms was suggested using the methods of mathematical statistics. |
