*Hiroko NAGAHARA1 (1.Dept. Earth Planet. Sci., The Univ. Tokyo)

Keywords:earth and planetary science, community, government

Earth and planetary science stands on a special position between natural science and the community and government, which in turn means an importance of our community from both sides. We have encountered various difficulties in March 2011, when our words gave a great influence on community and we had flustration how we presented scientific results that might have caused social confusion. We will discuss how Earth and planetary sicence keep good distances from social community and government and how we should play our role.
