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.

Convener: 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: Akinori Takahashi, and Kunio Takahashi (NIPR)

[OG] Polar Geosciences

This session covers research topics from the fields of geology, mineralogy, geomorphology, quaternary research, geodesy, and geophysics.

Conveners: Yusuke Suganuma, and Kenji Horie (NIPR)

[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.

Conveners: Shun Tsutaki, and Yutaka Tobo (NIPR)

[OS] Space and upper atmospheric sciences

This session covers the solar-terrestrial science related to topics in the polar atmosphere, ionosphere, and magnetosphere, including couplings with the mid- and low-latitude regions as well as space weather and space climate research.

Conveners: Akira Sessai Yukimatu, and Yoshimasa Tanaka (NIPR)
