#1. Preface by Yukihiro Takahashi, President of JpGU
The first “joint meeting”, the predecessor of JpGU, was held in April
1990, and started with 5 academic societies and about 1000 participants.
I remember, as a master’s student at the time, feeling great hope that
Japan would also move toward a coalition of earth and planetary sciences.
In the next 30 years or so, I think each person’s thought that cooperation
as a community to another will lead to greater scientific achievements
has been the driving force behind evolving into a large organization
today in which 50 academic societies participate, while there may have
been various external factors and social conditions.
On the other hand, in the last 30 years, major changes have occurred
in “Earth and Planetary Science” itself, both in terms of academic and
social relations. It is an academic field that started from the category
of “earth science” in conventional high school textbooks, but today,
in addition to them, the whole world where human beings are active or
knowledgeable is becoming the subject of research. Today, the challenges
facing humankind are becoming more complex and large-scale, and it is
becoming difficult to overcome them with a single field or technology
alone. Earth and planetary science can be rephrased as a discipline
that understands all things in the world by making full use of all
other science subjects, such as physics, chemistry, and biology, as
purpose and means. There are still limited papers on the existing global
life science such as ecology and agriculture, compared to AGU and EGU.
But for example, when considering the carbon cycle, it is essential
to understand the dynamics of vegetation distribution including fields,
which at the same time, directly links to food and environment. In
addition, the increase in the number of AGU and EGU sessions is in no
small part attributed to disaster-related studies. Especially for
emerging and developing countries, disaster prevention is often the
gateway to scientific research, and the role of the disaster prevention
field in promoting and improving the level of international science
cannot be ignored.
Looking back from this perspective, JpGU’s research presentation fields
cover a wide range of elements, but the expansion of the community may
still be limited. I feel that the promotion of international cooperation,
including the perspectives and methods of earth and planetary science,
is very important for overcoming the challenges common to all humankind,
rather than the intention of expanding the territory of the earth and
planetary science. I also think that research on solutions such as food
and disaster prevention is not only important from social contribution
aspect, but also as a cutting-edge basic science. We hope that JpGU
will be extensively utilized as a crossover with such related fields.

guidelines and make their own childcare arrangements. In addition to
the area near the meeting venue (Makuhari), you may also use childcare
facilities near your home or other locations.
Extended daycare on Sundays and early mornings and evenings are also
eligible for support, but the fees for regular hours at the childcare
facility you usually use are not covered.

#6. Information from PEPS
(1) PEPS Receives new Impact Factor (IF2021) = 3.875, 5-YarsIF = 3.841
We are delighted to announce the 2021 Impact Factor for PEPS has
increased to 3.875 and received new 5-year Impact Factor of 3.841.
In addition, CiteScore increased from 4.7 to 6.4.
We would like to thank everyone for supporting PEPS and we welcome
your excellent paper submission and your proposal for SPEPS special
issue for the further development of PEPS.
(2) Featured Articles
We will introduce the featured articles selected by the editor-in-
chief from the papers published in the past every month.
@ Nian Wang et al.: NanoSIMS and EPMA dating of lunar zirconolite.
https://doi.org/10.1186/s40645-021-00446-3
This paper shows the dating of zirconolite grains by using the U-Th-Pb
method known as the CHIME method and Pb-Pb dating by NanoSIMS.
This paper showed that the two ages provided consistent ages within
the uncertainty.
This work demonstrates the potential application of the combined
EPMA dating and REE analysis of lunar zirconolite have merits for
non-destructive age survey and geochemical study of zirconolite
grains from the lunar mare basalts newly returned by Chang’E-5
mission.
@Haruka Tsunetaka et al.: Comparison of length and dynamics of
wood pieces in streams covered with coniferous and broadleaf forests
mapped using orthophotos acquired by an unmanned aerial vehicle.
https://doi.org/10.1186/s40645-021-00419-6
Landslides in sub-watersheds of coniferous and broadleaf forests were
targeted for detection of downed tree fragments by UAV remote sensing
and field validation. The length of wood pieces could be detected with
high accuracy for coniferous trees, while it was underestimated for
broadleaf forests, and the wood pieces showed little movement after
the landslide.
