#1. Preface by Hodaka Kawahata, President of JpGU

In May 2017, JpGU and AGU will hold the first joint meeting of the two
societies covering all areas of the Earth and Space Sciences as well as
many sessions for inter- and trans-disciplinary scientists. The meeting
will be held at Makuhari Messe, Japan, and is forecast to have 8,000-9,000
participants from around the globe. We closed the session proposals on
October 13th and we truly appreciate the positive attitude of our conveners
to propose so many sessions. Although session integration may be performed
by the Program Committee members on early November, the total number of the
proposed sessions substantially exceeded last year’s record.

The mission of the meeting is to discuss scientific issues having oral and
poster presentations and to maximize research activities on Earth and
Planetary Science. A board of JpGU will contribute to the meeting by
setting up an outline of the meeting .The secretary office will also work hard
to manage and be prepared to have a successful meeting. Furthermore the Program
Committee plays a very important role in organizing the contents of the science
in the meeting. This work is essential to the scientific activity in the meeting.
Therefore I would like to express our sincere appreciation for the effort and
contribution to the work of the Program Committee for the JpGU-AGU Joint
Meeting 2017.

This year we have three session language categories, new for this year trying
to make it easy for all attendees to join the sessions. The categories are
EE: All (slides/posters & oral presentations) English. EJ: Slides and posters
in English. Oral presentations in English or Japanese (presenter’s choice).
JJ: Slides/Posters and oral presentations in Japanese and/or English
(presenter’s choice).
(https://www.jpgu.org/meeting_e2017/conv_guidelines.html).
We hope the JpGU -AGU joint meeting 2017 will be a big opportunity for you
to have many attendees’ interest and to make your scientific results fully
understood.

Finally, we will make much effort to have fruitful and successful meeting
in 2017 but we believe all attendees’ collaboration is essential to make
it happen. Thank you for your help. We are grateful for your cooperation.
