Future of Earth and Planetary Science(6) is the Session held jointly by Science Council of Japan and JpGU. The session focuses on how we should be involved in administration such as measures for natural hazard, ocean policy, resource policy, nuclear plant policy, and space policy in which many of us have been strongly involved. Recent complicated international situations of Japan requires us to make more careful consideration on our role. Discussions between researchers and administrators will be important, and therefore, the session will be constructed by invite talks only.
