#1. Preface by Hodaka Kawahata, President of JpGU
Happy New Year and I hope you will have a splendid year.
For us, all members related to JpGU, I’m sure this year will be a Happy
Year, as we are going to have our first joint meeting of two unions-
JpGU and AGU. The meeting will take place at Makuhari Messe International
Conference Hall, International Exhibition Hall and APA Hotel Resort & Bay
Makuhari during May 20th -25th, 2017 with sessions covering all areas of
geosciences; space and planetary sciences, atmospheric and hydrospheric
sciences, human geosciences, solid earth sciences and biogeosciences.
To begin with, our Program Committee consisted of members from both unions
and led by co-chairs Prof. Huixin LIU and Prof. Tetsuo IRIFUNE, has worked
hard and approved 255 sessions with more than 150 sessions in English.
The committee emphasized the high-quality presentations and friendly
idea-exchange atmosphere that benefits all attendees. All programs will
cover a wide spectrum of research fields, which will attract scientists
and attendees throughout the world.
Our relationship between AGU started with the MOU signed by JpGU and AGU
in order to strengthen the collaborative relationship. As one step of our
partnership, in the 2016 JpGU annual meeting, representatives from both
unions convened a joint Union session and we also successfully held more
than 50 joint sessions. Each year our friendship has been developing and we
are about to have our first meeting in May. Being the first joint meeting,
we are also trying to make some improvements; for example, we will expand
a presentation area, have two distinguished scientists to deliver key
note speeches on Sunday, the day open to the general public and attractive
Union sessions such, as “JpGU-AGU great debate”, “Innovative research at
the intersection of geoscience and health science” and so on. At this meeting,
we would like to provide a good platform for communication to all
attendees to promote their science and contribute it to the development
of our science.
To close, please mark your calendar the important dates of our meeting.
The abstract submission site is now open through February 16th, 2017 at
4:59pm JST and the deadline of the early submission is February 3rd at
11:59am JST. The meeting registration is also open through May 25th, 2017
and the early registration deadline is May 8th at 16:59pm JST.
We are looking forward to seeing you at the fist JpGU-AGU joint meeting
this May.
Best regards,
Hodaka Kawahata
