#3. Call for Donations to Promote the Advancement of the Online
Conference System – further again.
Michio Kawamiya
Chair, Finance committee
Since this February, Japan Geoscience Union (JpGU) has been seeking
donations to help fund developments in the online hosting system. We
are resending the announcement since the deadline of January 31,
2022, is approaching. We are very grateful for the understanding and
support shown by many of our members about the purpose of this call.
Donations can be made by clicking on the banner in the “News” box
on the left side of the JpGU website (https://www.jpgu.org/en/), with
a minimum of 5000 yen.
*******************************
We would like to express our gratitude to all JpGU members for their
sustained support for the JpGU activities, including the 2021
Meeting held in May – June, which was held entirely online for
the second year in a row. We understand from your feedback that
many of you both appreciated the advantages of the online format
for the JpGU 2021 meeting and at the same time reaffirmed the
merits of meeting colleagues and friends face-to-face. To help answer
these needs, we plan to hold JpGU 2022 with a hybrid format that
has both onsite and online components. All of us involved are
enthusiastically working to prepare the best meeting possible in
a novel style that combines the benefits of both remote and physical
communications. As we look further to the 2023 meeting and beyond,
we anticipate that there will be an increasing need to develop and
refine the online system for hosting academic meetings in the post-
Corona era. We believe our JpGU members are best served by us
continuing to take on the challenges of improving our society through
these unprecedented times.
Please note, we also accept donations from non-members, corporations,
and voluntary organizations. If you know someone close by who might
consider donating, we would be grateful if you could pass on the
information about this opportunity.

(2) Featured Articles
We will introduce the featured articles selected by the editor-in-
chief from the papers published in the past every month.
@ Chunyu Ding et al.: Compositional variations along the route of
Chang’e-3 Yutu rover revealed by the lunar penetrating radar.
(https://doi.org/10.1186/s40645-020-00340-4)
Compositional variations of TiO2+FeO distribution along the route of
Chang’e-3 Yutu rover are revealed by the lunar penetrating radar. The
TiO2 + FeO content map derived by the radar has a much higher spatial
resolution compared to orbital observation．This provides important
information on current status of the lunar exploration by Chang’e-3
Yutu rover.
＠HAJIME AKIMOTO et al.: B An empirical approach toward the SLCP
reduction targets in Asia for the mid-term climate change mitigation.
(https://doi.org/10.1186/s40645-020-00385-5)
Co-control of SLCPs together with the emission reduction of CO2 is
attracting attention as a mid-term mitigation measure for climate
change. This study argues its effectiveness from a quantitative
viewpoint.
