JpGU-AGU Joint Meeting Committee Members

Next 24-28 May 2020, the Japan Geoscience Union and AGU will host the joint JpGU-AGU meeting in Makuhari Messe, Chiba, Japan.
This joint meeting highlights the 30th anniversary of JpGU and follows on from AGU’s centennial celebration. The overall meeting costs (e.g., registration, hotel, airfare) make it competitive with other meetings (SF-AGU, EGU, Goldschmidt, etc).

The call for session proposals is open, with submissions accepted from 2 September to 11 October. We are emphasizing early career and female scientists to take leadership roles as session conveners. JpGU does not prohibit conveners to make presentations in their own sessions and neither does it stop conveners from self-designating as invited talks.
Multidisciplinary and Interdisciplinary sessions are strongly encouraged.

Co-Chairs
Fumio INAGAKI （JAMSTEC）
There is an urgent need in both geo and space sciences which is to learn more about planetary systems, including the biosphere and human well-being.
The JpGU-AGU Joint Meeting 2020 is a great opportunity to share and integrate findings with international colleagues in multiple disciplines, develop new ideas and collaborations, and explore the future sustainability of the planet Earth and humanity.
We look forward to seeing you at Makuhari next May!

Japan is a country with many disasters and has been hit by various natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, floods, and landslides. At JpGU-AGU 2020 to be held next May, many hazard and human geoscience sessions will be proposed and discussed by many international participants.
Guido CERVONE (The Pennsylvania State University)
Every year several catastrophic natural hazards strike somewhere on Earth. Most of these events pose potential catastrophic consequences for people, properties and the environment.
We welcome contribution relative to the study of hazards, including the processes that govern their occurrences as well as the human dimensions and effects on society.

Many processes impacting our planet and the well-being of people and the environment are global in nature.
The JpGU-AGU joint 2020 meeting “For a Borderless World of Geoscience” will celebrate our research efforts and achievements to increase our understanding of Earth Processes and maintain a habitable planet.
We welcome the community to submit session proposals and to join us in this celebration.
Kazuyoshi MORIYA (Waseda University)
Hi folks! No life, No Earth! Evolution of biosphere is one of the indispensable keys to understand the nature of our planet. Biogeosciences Section wants you(!) to enhance our knowledge of the habitable planets. Let’s make the JpGU-AGU joint 2020 meeting more fruitful with us!
Takashi TOYOFUKU (JAMSTEC)
I am delighted to engage in the AGU-JpGU joint meeting program committee. This conference opportunity can supply exclusive venue to stimulating the opinion exchange among the earth science community in the world. The fundamental knowledge of the biogeoscience can engage in contemporary global social problems. Furthermore, this interdisciplinary science field is so exciting to reveal the secret of the earth's history. Join and enjoy this meeting with you and the presentation and discussion.
