#1. Preface by Hodaka Kawahata, President of JpGU
The JpGU annual meeting in 2019 was held from 26th through 30th of
May, for 5 days, at Makuhari Messe and Tokyo Bay Makuhari Hall, Chiba
Prefecture.
On behalf of JpGU, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all
the attendees, including members, partner society members, exhibitors
and other participants, who helped to make the JpGU 2019 a great
success. I hope that the meeting was fruitful and worth attending for
the participants.
During the meeting, the weather was rather nice with moderate humidity
which makes me believe that attendees could enjoy not only the
presentations but also the good surrounding environment of Chiba.
This year, we are pleased to have 8390 participants in total with 655
international scientists and researchers in 240 sessions and 5,028
presentations. We are also glad to have, as usually, a large number
of students, including graduate, undergraduate and high school students,
that shared almost one third of the total participants.
I appreciate the active participation of attendees with the understanding
for a bottom-up society of JpGU.
The upcoming 2020 meeting will be the second JpGU-AGU joint meeting,
to be held also in May at the same venue. Being a joint meeting, we
will make effort to enhance the proposal of English sessions and more
participation from abroad.
To achieve this goal, the opinions from our attendees are very
important. Thus, I would like to request attendees to fill out the
quick post-survey to let us know your opinion for the meeting and help
us improve the future meetings.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated and I will assure that each
comment and suggestion will be given consideration to provide a better
platform for the attendees to enjoy the meeting and experience valuable
communication and discussion.
Best regards,
Hodaka Kawahata,
President of JpGU
