In JpGU Meeting 2011, every sessions are classified in nine Session Categories; divided into three, Public, Union, and 7 scientific sessions.
Public Session
Sessions open to the public, to promote scientists' outreach activity, and to help society's understanding of the JpGU research fields. For a Public Session abstract submission and participation fees are free of charge.
Union Session
Sessions to present the up-to-date frontier topics of the earth and planetary sciences covered by JpGU, or to treat subjects which are of common interest to the whole geosciences community. The JpGU Program Organizing Board reviews session proposals to decide potential Union sessions. Conveners of the selected sessions are requested to hold their sessions as Union Sessions. A Union Session has no restriction of the number of invited papers as well as full flexibility of time slot settings of presentations and discussion time as far as total Session time is within the given length.
Scientific Sessions
Scientific Sessions are divided into 7 session categories as below.Each scientific session should be classified into one of the seven categories, so please refer descriptions below prior to your session proposal and/or abstract submission. For proposing a session, please refer Convener guideline also.
