Ordinary Sessions
[OA] Antarctic meteorites
This session covers research topics from Antarctic meteorites and micrometeorites, as well as topics on non-Antarctic meteorites and extraterrestrial materials, and related experimental and theoretical works.
Conveners: Akira Yamaguchi (NIPR)
[OB] Polar Biology
This session covers the following research topics.
Polar marine biology and ecosystem -including (but not limited to) the studies of environment, biogeochemistry, and method.
Polar terrestrial ecosystem -environment, biodiversity, and biological responses.
Conveners: Taiki Adachi, and Masaki Uchida (NIPR)
[OG] Polar Geosciences
This session covers research topics from the fields of geology, mineralogy, geomorphology, quaternary research, geodesy, and geophysics.

[OM] Polar Meteorology and Glaciology
This session seeks to gain insight into global environmental and climate changes in the past, present and future. We invite contributions on subjects including atmospheric science, meteorology, glaciology, sea ice, oceanography, and paleoclimatology. We welcome in-situ and laboratory-based studies, satellite-based analysis, numerical modeling, and theoretical contributions.
