#6. From Committees
(1) Educational Affairs Committee
The Educational Affairs Committee has been conducting training
courses for teacher license renewal. The courses play an important
role in promoting the Earth and planetary sciences by introducing the
latest research to teachers in schools. However, the Diet is currently
deliberating to abolish this system in July of this year. Considering
the importance of this course, the Committee plans to open courses
of the same level as before for teachers whose licenses expire before
July 1, 2022, and to open them to those who wish to attend them as
training courses (issuance of a certificate of completion of training).
Therefore, members who wish to become lecturers for the teacher
license renewal course/training provided by the Union of Earth and
Planetary Science are requested to apply as soon as possible after
reading the following documents available on the Educational Affairs
Committee’s website.
If you apply by the end of April, we can start accepting applications
for the course from July 16.
We look forward to your active application.

(2) Committee for Diversity Management and Talent Pool
This information is available at Japanese version.
(3) Japan Earth Science Olympiad Committee
The 14th Japan Earth Science Olympiad was held in Tsukuba City,
Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, on March 13-15.
64 students (6 girls) aged from junior high school students to
high school sophomores participated and special awards, gold,
silver, and bronze prizes were decided.
On the afternoon of August 15, among the ten gold medalists, four
Japanese representatives were selected as the contestants of the
14th International Science Olympiad online through a selection
interview.

#7. Information from PEPS
(1) PEPS paper awarded by The Seismological Society of Japan
The following PEPS article won the Best Paper Award 2021 of the
Seismological Society of Japan.
@Effects of frictional properties of quartz and feldspar in the crust
on the depth extent of the seismogenic zone.
Koji Masuda, Takashi Arai & Miki Takahashi
https://doi.org/10.1186/s40645-019-0299-5
(2) Featured Articles
We will introduce the featured articles selected by the editor-in-chief
from the papers published in the past every month.
@ Vincenzo Stagno et al.: Can quasicrystals survive in planetary
collisions?
https://doi.org/10.1186/s40645-021-00421-y
This paper investigated the compressional behavior of i-AlCuFe
quasicrystal using diamond anvil cell under quasi-hydrostatic
conditions by in situ X-ray diffraction measurements up to 76 GPa
at ambient temperature. This paper reported that this quasicrystal
shows no drastic changes associated to structural phase transformations
or amorphization. This indicates natural quasicrystals formed during
shock events in asteroidal collisions can be survived during the
history of the Solar System.
@ Hiroshi Matsuyama et al.: Application of Soil Water Index to
landslide prediction in snowy regions: sensitivity analysis in Japan
and preliminary results from Tomsk, Russia.
https://doi.org/10.1186/s40645-021-00408-9
This paper proposes an extension of the Soil Water Index (SWI), an
index of landslide occurrence, to be applicable to landslides caused
by snow melt. It is demonstrated that the modified SWI has a
predictive capacity for cases in Japan and Russia. This study clearly
illustrates the significance of increasing the comprehensiveness of a
prediction system for landslides, which have been growing in number
in recent years in relation to heavy rainfall.
@ Wenfang CAO et al.: Geomorphometric characterization of natural
and anthropogenic land covers.
https://doi.org/10.1186/s40645-019-0314-x
The geomorphometric parameters (slope, mean curvature, and surface
peak curvature) and their frequency distribution in the digital
terrain model (DTM) obtained from LiDAR showed that anthropogenic
land cover can be significantly detected. These features, found in
four different regions (floodplain, plain to hilly, hill and mountain),
are informative for a comprehensive understanding of the coupling
of human-land interaction from a geomorphological point of view.
(3) Latest Articles
The following articles were published. You can download and read
interesting articles from the PEPS web site at:
https://progearthplanetsci.springeropen.com/
@ Syuichi Itahashi et al.: Surface and aloft NO2 pollution over the
greater Tokyo area observed by ground-based and MAX-DOAS measurements
bridged by kilometer-scale regional air quality modeling.
@ Mel Anthony Asis Casulla et al.: Imaging crustal features and Moho
depths through enhancements and inversion of gravity data from the
Philippine island arc system.
@Peng Tang et al.: Atmospheric resuspension of insoluble radioactive
cesium-bearing particles found in the difficult-to-return area in
Fukushima.
@Katsuyoshi Michibayashi et al.: Peridotites with back-arc basin
affinity exposed at the southwestern tip of the Mariana forearc.
