Celebration of GPM satellite launch NASA-JAXA Collaborative Hyper Wall Exhibition

HyperWall exhibition is scheduled at the poster room in JpGU2014.  This event is collaboration between NASA and JAXA.  You can see recent satellite observation results on the huge display, as large as 4m x 2.5m.  Frontier scientists from NASA and JAXA give lectures of their satellites.  You are welcome to join and ask questions!

Greetings from Organizers

Michael Freilich
Like all things in life, Earth’s environment is in a constant state of flux. Components of the Earth system — including the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, cryosphere, and biosphere — are all connected, and interact in complex ways that we do not fully understand. At NASA, our goal is to study the Earth as a system and understand how both natural and human-induced changes impact Earth’s environment over time.
For nearly 30 years NASA has been collecting, archiving, researching, and disseminating a broad spectrum of satellite-based Earth-observation datasets. Over the coming decades NASA will be able to deliver even more crucial data to the scientific community so that societies can meet the challenges of the future.

We are happy to announce that there will be NASA-JAXA collaboration in outreach activities at the coming JpGU meeting. Big goals in space and earth sciences are shared commonly among scientists all over the globe. Indeed JAXA and NASA have collaborated on spacecraft missions in space and earth sciences. It is only natural to collaborate in outreach activities that demonstrate to to the public the benefits from the space missions. I believe collaboration leads to something that would have been unreachable otherwise. We look forward to Japanese scientist presentations using NASA's HyperWall presentation system. Through this outreach activity, the audience can see not only the applications from our international collaboration missions, but also how international collaborations are developed.
