JpGU 2024: Biggest Geosciences themes in Japan and beyond

My Sediments Exactly

Summary
This special episode is to highlight the Japan Geoscience Union (JPGU) as a seismic force in geoscience, which offers a forum for the exchange of earth-shattering ideas and groundbreaking discoveries. Their annual meeting in Chiba, Japan this year brought together researchers from various geoscience disciplines and explored a wide range of topics. Climate change, use of AI and solar events were identified as important themes for the future among others. The JPGU aims to establish a more inclusive and diverse scientific community for scholars in the Asian region and beyond and being one of the youngest regional union of this nature, it is growing rapidly. Open science, including open access publishing and data sharing, is a key focus for the JpGU with their own Open Access journal - Progress in Earth and Planetary Science which was launched in 2014 and is published by Springer Nature. This year's conference provided a platform for international collaboration and knowledge dissemination and brought together respresentatives from various other regional organisations along with universities and research institutions from all across the world.
