Field Excursions of JpGU-AGU Joint Meeting 2026

The JpGU-AGU Field Excursion aim to provide opportunities for deepening understanding by connecting the latest research findings with on-site observations across a wide range of themes in Earth and Planetary Sciences. Under the guidance of expert researchers, participants will visit actual outcrops, landforms, and facilities to engage in the kind of academic discussion that can only happen in the field. We hope this will serve as a valuable opportunity for researchers, students, and educators across various disciplines of Earth and Planetary Sciences to gain a cross-disciplinary perspective.

Floating World, Shaking Earth: Ukiyo-e as Visual Knowledge of Landscape and Disaster

This event explores Japanese landscape and earthquakes through the lens of Ukiyo-e woodblock prints. By contrasting Hiroshige’s iconic ‘famous places’ series —which helped establish a standardized visual understanding of the land—with the namazu-e (catfish prints) born from seismic disasters, we examine how Edo-period society visualized both the stability and impermanence of the Earth. This interdisciplinary discussion highlights Ukiyo-e as both art and a cultural archive of geographical and geological perception.

Dagik Earth as a tool of education and public outreach

"Dagik Earth" is a digital 3D globe system that makes it easy to display planets and the Earth in three dimensions. Projections on 2-meter or 4-meter spheres are truly impressive, giving you a real sense of seeing the Earth and planets from space. In this workshop, we will introduce the necessary equipment and how to create your own original content, focusing on two use cases: (1) school classes and festivals, and (2) outreach events at universities and research institutions. We welcome science club students and teachers, as well as those at universities or research institutes looking for effective ways to set up public exhibitions. Website: https://www.dagik.net/english/

Job-hunting event

We will be hosting a career support event that combines online exhibition booths (Confit), in-person exhibition booths, and an in-person event on Monday, May 25, 2026. During the in-person consultation sessions, we will also be accepting general career counseling requests. Further details will be announced on the Diversity Promotion Committee’s website and via Confit, which will be released at a later date.

GEORUN&WALK 2026

To promote the well-being of conference attendees (including health promotion, relaxation, and physical fitness), we are organizing a run and walk event in a nearby park.

Hands-on Training in Upper Atmospheric Data Analysis

The Earth's atmosphere is continuous from the lower layers to outer space, with each layer interacting closely with one another. It is also essential to account for global atmospheric circulation, spanning from the equator to the poles. To understand these complex atmospheric phenomena, a comprehensive analysis of cross-regional data is required. In this lesson, we will demonstrate and practice how to visualize and analyze diverse upper-atmospheric data using a single integrated analysis tool.

Geo T-shirt Studio

Geo T-Shirt Studio is an initiative led by graduate students and early-career researchers in the geoscience community. Its aim is to promote interaction and networking across different research fields and institutions while also creating opportunities for young researchers to actively engage in outreach activities. By leveraging the creativity and design sense characteristic of younger generations, the project seeks to produce and sell original goods that clearly and attractively communicate the fascination and significance of geoscience to general visitors. Through this effort, we aim to create a new form of outreach that connects academic research with society. In particular, the initiative strives to make geoscience feel more accessible and approachable to the general public—including high school students—and to provide opportunities that spark curiosity and interest in Earth science in everyday life.

Into the Core – Live at JpGU–AGU 2026

Into the Core – Live at JpGU–AGU 2026 is a live-recorded special edition of the interview series Into the Core, organized by the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP), to be held at the JpGU–AGU Joint Meeting 2026. Into the Core is an official ICDP interview series that introduces researchers involved in continental scientific drilling. Through interviews with leading scientists, the series explores the background of their research, the process of initiating drilling projects, their experiences in the field, and their personal perspectives on science. The interviews are normally recorded, edited, and released online, making them accessible to researchers and students worldwide. In this special edition, the interviews will be conducted as a live recording session at the conference venue, allowing participants to attend the conversation in person. Through dialogue with scientists who have led ICDP projects, this event aims to promote intergenerational exchange within the research community while showcasing the significance and excitement of scientific drilling to conference participants and the broader public.
