A large number of scientists and students from around the world attend our meetings, however public participants are welcome as well. Public participants can enjoy easy-to-understand lectures and activities on the Public Day- a day open to the public.

PUBLIC SESSION

Public Sessions will basically take place on May 20th and 21st, 2017- a day called “Public Day”. These sessions provide public participants with the frontier research results on the geoscience field. Last year many public participants enjoyed poster presentations by high school students, outreach activities such as Geoparks in Japan, lectures by scientists etc. We expect to have these Japanese presentations and activities this year as well.

Public Sessions are open to all attendees with no charge. All attendees are required to check-in at the entrance to attend the 2017 meeting. Pre-registration is not necessary to attend Public Sessions; however, we highly recommend public attendees to make a registration in advance to facilitate your check-in at the site.

Public Session programs and registration information will be posted on November 14th, 2017.
