NASA-JAXAハイパーウォール講演


Greetings from the Host

Michael Freilich (Earth and Science Division Director/NASA)

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.

Jim Green (Planetary Science Division Director/NASA)

Europa and Enceladus are thought to have an ocean of liquid water beneath their surface in contact with mineral-rich rock, and may have the three ingredients needed for life as we know it: liquid water, essential chemical elements for biological processes, and sources of energy that could be used by living things. The hidden ocean of Saturn's moon Enceladus could be home to present-day hydrothermal activity. New results from the Cassini mission, are the first clear indications that an icy moon may have active hydrothermal activity -- in which seawater infiltrates and reacts with a rocky crust, emerging as a heated, mineral-laden solution. The findings add to the tantalizing possibility that Enceladus, could contain environments suitable for living organisms. NASA scientists have also confirms Liquid Lake on Saturn Moon Titan. They have concluded that at least one of the large lakes observed on Titan contains liquid hydrocarbons, and have positively identified the presence of ethane. This makes Titan the only body in our solar system beyond Earth known to have liquid on its surface. Ocean Worlds on Europa, Enceladus and Titan, are taking us leaps closer to finding water and possibly life on other Solar System bodies than our Earth.

Masaki Fujimoto (Director, Department of Solar System Sciences, ISAS/JAXA)

At normal presentations during conferences, scientists make presentations mostly in order to transfer the knowledge gained by their research activities. At HyperWall, scientists are supposed to tell stories, a totally different kind of beast from their daily practice. So, the presenters would not look like a serious professor who never smiles during a lecture but like a kid telling you the dream. Broader audience will learn the essential minimum of a topic if not the details that are only for specialists. HyperWall is the technology to set the right atmosphere for this kind of talks. Please enjoy grasping the key elements of what NASA and JAXA do in earth and planetary science fields.
