Japan Geoscience Union ( The old Japan Geoscience union ) was first established in 2005 as the organization representing earth planetary science related societies in response to the renovation of Science council of Japan.
It started as a general juridical person, Japan Geoscience Union ( The New Japan Geoscience Union ) on December 1, 2009.
We aim to promote, diffuse and contribute to earth planetary sciences as a whole through international partnerships, transmission of information to the public, research activities and promoting information exchange, representing earth planetary science societies in Japan

P-EM03, Mesosphere-Thermosphere-Ionosphere Coupling in the Earth's Atmosphere
joint session between JpGU-AGU
Convener: Huixin Liu Co-Conveners: Akinori Saito, Loren Chang, Atsuki Shinbori
Language English
The whole atmosphere concept is the key for the next breakthrough in solar-terrestrial science. This international session focuses on physical/chemical processes occurring in the mesosphere, thermosphere, and ionosphere (MTI) from both the poles to the equatorial region. Both quiet and disturbed states in response to lower atmospheric forcing or solar forcing are important for understanding the MTI system and its coupling to other regions. We invite presentations of observations with ground-based and/or space-borne instruments, theoretical studies, numerical simulations, and development of data analysis systems for various kinds of temporal and spatial variations in MTI system.
Invited Speakers: Epsy Patrick (Norwegian University of Science and Technology), Guo Jiangpeng (National Space Science Centre, Chinese Academy of Science), Immel Thomas (University of California, Berkeley), Kaufmann Martin (Institute of Energy and Climate Research, Research Centre Juelich, Germany), Lei Jiuhou (University of Science and Technology of China), Li Guozhu (Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Science), Pedatella Nick (COSMIC/UCAR, US), Snively Johnathan (Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, US), Yamazaki Yusuke (University of Lancaster, UK)
P-EM04, Title: Space Weather, Space Climate, and VarSITI joint session between JpGU-AGU
Convener: Ryuho Kataoka
Co-Conveners: Antti Pulkkinen, Kazuo Shiokawa, Yusuke Ebihara, Yoshizumi Miyoshi, Toshifumi Shimizu, Ayumi Asai, Hidekatsu Jin, Tatsuhiko Sato, Kanya Kusano, Hiroko Miyahara, Kiminori Itoh, Takuji Nakamura, Shigeo Yoden, Kiyoshi Ichimoto, Mamoru Ishii

"Past, Present, and Future of Solar-Terrestrial Environment" is the keynote of this session. We share the latest scientific papers to understand how the solar-terrestrial environment changes in various time scales, and discuss the necessary international collaboration projects associated with VarSITI. More specifically, welcomed papers include space climate studies using tree rings and ice cores, cutting-edge observational and modeling studies of geospace, heliosphere and the sun, simulational or statistical studies to predict the future space weather and space climate.
This session cooperates with Project for Solar-Terrestrial Environment Prediction (PSTEP) supported by Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas from MEXT/Japan.

P-EM09, Title: Study of coupling processes in solar-terrestrial system
Convener: Mamoru Yamamoto u Co-Conveners: Satonori Nozawa, Yasunobu Ogawa, Hiroyuki Hashiguchi, Akimasa Yoshikawa
Language English
The Earth accepts vast input of energy and material from the Sun. The Earth's environment is maintained by the balance between their inputs and outputs. It is important to study energy and material transport of the Earth. This is an international session that discusses studies of the coupling processes in the Sun-Earth system based on the project "Study of coupling processes in solar-terrestrial system" that was approved by the Master Plan 2014 of Science Council of Japan and the Roadmap 2014 of MEXT. The facilities and networks included are the Equatorial MU Radar (EMU) in Indonesia to study the whole equatorial atmosphere, the EISCAT_3D system to study detailed structures and elementary processes of the magnetosphere-ionosphere in the polar region, and global networks of various instruments and observation data. We will show current status of the project and discuss sciences by soliciting variety papers. This session is open to the world, and we strongly encourage submission of papers related to other facilities and projects, i.e., atmospheric or incoherent-scatter radars, observation networks, satellites, and simulation or theoretical studies, etc.
Invited Speakers: Thomas Immel (Uiversity of California Berkeley), Manabu D. Yamanaka (JAMSTEC/Kobe University), Esa Turunen (University of Oulu), Kaoru Sato (University of Tokyo), Toshihiko Iyemori (Kyoto University)
