Japan　Geoscience　Union　Meeting　2008

Program Committee Chairman : Mahito Watanabe (AIST)
　

Sessions for the 2008 meeting are divided into the following 4 categories.

1. Regular session (R session)
Sessions highly focused on one specific research field in earth and planetary sciences and/or interdisciplinary sessions that have been held regularly for the past several years. Proposals of the latter type are evaluated on the basis of past performance.

2. Special session (S session)
We will consider all proposals for special (interdisciplinary) sessions to discuss scientifically "hot" topics. In the event that a related R session is being held it is necessary to clarify the difference between the proposed S session and the R session.

3. Union session (U session)
U sessions discuss topics common to a wide range of fields of earth and planetary sciences. All presentations are invited. U sessions will have ample time for lectures and discussion.

4. Public presentation (A session)
JPGU picks up timely geoscience-related themes and topics and promotes lectures by the specialized researchers. They are sure to be enjoyable for those who are from junior and senior high school students to adults.
　

* International sessions 　

lnformation of the 2008meeting
Several international sessions in the above 4 categories will be held in the 2008meeting.
All presentations in international sessions must be made in English.
We hope many foreign researchers will participate in the 2008 meeting, taking full advantage of the international sessions.
