\n\t\t\t\t\tAt the moment Japan Geoscience Union has five science sections. These sections are Space and Planetary Sciences; Atmospheric and Hydrospheric Sciences; Human Geosciences; Solid Earth Sciences; and Biogeosciences. Each section has a science board which mainly consists of elected representatives. These five section science boards work under the guidance of the Union Science Board to promote the scientific development of all branches of the earth and planetary sciences by encouraging regular free discussion of all relevant issues. The five section presidents who act as representatives of the section science boards are now to be elected by the votes of JpGU members. Anyone who was elected as a representative in the most recent JpGU Representative Election is eligible to stand as a candidate for president of their main science section.<\/p>\n
