JPGU Meeting 2009
Union session information

 

Union session has a lot in common with the Earth and planetary sciences. It is a session where the up-to-date topics that many participants are interested in are discussed. As the union organizes it, no session proposal is invited. However, when the union considers a proposed idea to be appropriate for union session, it may be treated as such.

* Abstract submission to Public presentarion(A) is free of charge. Meanwhile, abstract submission to Union Session(U) need normal submission fee.

U051 Graduate school education and career path in Earth and Planetary sciences
 
Tatsuhiko Hara  
  In this session, current situations of graduate school education and postdoctoral fellows in the fields of Earth and Planetary sciences are reviewed. Then, future prospects and directions of education and research systems and career paths in these fields are discussed.

U052 Future of Japanese Earth and Planetary Science (3) Hiroko Nagahara
 
 
  (To be described later)
 

U053 Frontier for the climate change prediction Teruyuki Nakajima
 
 
  The 4th IPCC report has shown climate change prediction in the coming 100 years. However, it still contains considerable uncertianty in the treatment of several issues including cloud physics or echosystem. We wil discuss the current status and future topic in these ciritical issues.

U054 Integration of paleo-sciences for global change prediction
 
Takeshi Nakatsuka
  For the estimate of anthropogenic impacts on climate and environment changes, their natural variability must be understood precisely. Their historical data are also essential for validation of the models applied to future predictions. In this session, we present paleoclimatic views on the ongoing climate changes and discuss the roles of integrated paleo-sciences to predict future global changes.
