| Union session information |
|
Union session has a lot in common with the Earth and planetary sciences. It is a session where the up-to-date topics that many participants are interested in are discussed. As the union organizes it, no session proposal is invited. However, when the union considers a proposed idea to be appropriate for union session, it may be treated as such. * Abstract submission to Public presentarion(O) is free of charge. Meanwhile, abstract submission to Union Session(U) need normal submission fee. |

Future of Earth and Planetary Science: Big Science Project |
Asahiko Taira (Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology) |
|
| Big projects have played crucial roles in progress of top sciences. Big projects in the field of Earth and planetary science are special in that all of them are promoted as national projects. We will discuss the way to promote independent sciences under national controls and how to construct scientific systems to protect the independence. | |||

| U-002 | Planetary Climate Studies and Venus Orbiter "AKATSUKI" |
Masato Nakamura (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) |
|
| Venus Climate Orbiter "Akatsuki" will start 2 years of Venus observation in December 2010. "Akatsuki" will open the next step of planetary climate studies. In this session, we will discuss how "Akatsuki" data can provide more detailed understanding of the atmosphere and surface of the planet Venus. | |||

| U-003 | Program of the Antarctic Syowa MST/IS radar (PANSY) |
Kaoru Sato (The University of Tokyo) |
|
| PANSY is the program to introduce the 1st Antarctic MST/IS radar to Syowa Station and funded by the stimulus package in FY2009. The PANSY radar is designed to observe 3D winds and plasma parameters with fine time and vertical resolutions in the height region of 1-500km. We welcome presentations of observational and modeling studies related to PANSY on the polar atmosphere and its role in climate. | |||

Geofluid and Dynamics of Subduction Zone
|
Eiichi
Takahashi (Tokyo Institute of Technology) |
| Fluids from the subducting plates play vital roles in subduction zone magma genesis, earthquake mechanism, etc. In this special session, we aim to discuss the role of fluid in subduction zone phenomena integrating various research fields, e.g., geophysics, geochemistry, petrology, high-pressure experiments, numerical simulation, environmental geology, hydrology, resources geology,etc. | ||
