2017 年 AGU 和日本地球物理学会（ JPGU ）联合举办一次规模较大的国际性会议，这是 AGU 和 JPGU 第一次大范围的联合。原来 JPGU 也有一些国际专题，但是都比较少，本次地球物理共有 75 个 Session ，一大半为 International session （英语的 Session 有 49 个），会议时间为 2017 年 5 月 20 日至 25 日，地点位于东京边上的千叶市（ Makuhari Messe, Chiba ）。 本次会议中我们有两个专题，内容主题是岩石圈和地幔结构，目前我们已经邀请了四位专题报告。 摘要投稿日期将于下月开始（ Jan. 6 – Feb. 16, 2017 ）。欢迎大家关注日程，早做明年的出国参会计划，投稿参会。开会地点就在东京附近，交通十分 方便。 五月份也是日本最为美丽的季节。 会议 session 的网址： http://www.jpgu.org/meeting_e2017/session_list/index.html 我们的 Session 如下： S-IT30Characterizing/contrasting seismic discontinuities in the oceanic andcontinental lithosphere S-IT31Revisit Bullen's layer C - Mantle transition zone and beyond 邀请报告 Invited talk ofS-IT30 Brain Kennett (ANU) -latest view on lithospheric heterogeneity, discontinuity and plate formation,with a focus on similarity/difference between continental/oceanic lithosphere. Emily J Chin (Scripps) - worklinking fabric, geochemistry and stratification in arc lithosphere ( http://scrippsscholars.ucsd.edu/e8chin/content/microstructural-and-geochemical-constraints-evolution-deep-arc-lithosphere ) Invited talk ofS-IT31 Nicholas J Mancinelli (Brown University) -conducted global studies of scattered body waves to improve constraints on thelength-scales and strength of heterogeneity throughout the mantle https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicholas-mancinelli-619ba533 Maxim D. Ballmer (ETHZ) -the composition, dynamics and evolution of the Earth’s (and planetary)mantle(s). Magma-ocean crystallization processes sets up the initial conditionfor mantle convection. Density and viscosity variations as a function oftemperature, major-element (e.g., Mg/Si ratio) and minor-element (e.g.volatiles) composition, as well as mineralogy (e.g., grain-size, fabric)control the evolution of the mantle through time, and to the present day. http://jupiter.ethz.ch/~ballmerm/ Session 介绍 S-IT30Characterizing/contrasting seismic discontinuities in the oceanic andcontinental lithosphere (Xuzhang Shen, YoungHee Kim, Teh-Ru Alex Song, RainerKind) The lithospheric seismic structure is crucial tounderstandings of the creation, modification and destruction of the plates.Oceanic lithosphere is typically thought to be the outcome of melting ofundepleted mantle and subsequent cooling, whereas continental lithosphere,especially beneath the cratons, is often considered as the result of plumemelting, stacking oceanic lithospheres or/and arc collision. However, laterepisodes of hydration, small-scale convective instability or/and andmetasomatism, among other possibilities, potentially facilitate themodification and disruption of oceanic and continental lithosphere. Seismic discontinuities of variable sharpness, strength and polarity of theiramplitudes are now frequently observed at many regions and defy predictionsfrom a simple thermal boundary. More sophisticated modeling efforts suggestthat some of these seismic discontinuities may be consequences of fineanisotropic layerings. The session focuses on characterizing seismic structures of lithosphere andtheir implications on the formation and evolution of the oceanic and cratoniclithosphere. We welcome abstracts that focus on new seismic observations withdiverse dataset, improvement of the robustness of seismic processing/modeling,and welcome cross-disciplinary efforts that link seismic observations,deformation experiments, geodynamic modeling and geological/petrofabric data. S-IT31 RevisitBullen's layer C - Mantle transition zone and beyond (Teh-Ru Alex Song,YoungHee Kim, Xuzhang Shen, Hitosi Kawakatsu) Large seismic velocity gradient between 400 km and 1000km depth led Bullen in 1940 to the construction of the layer C, which includesthe mantle transition zone and uppermost lower mantle defined in thepreliminary reference earth model, or PREM. While phase transition of olivineto its high pressure polymorphs generally defines the 410 and 660 km seismicdiscontinuities, several interesting findings associated with the lower half ofthe layer C are somewhat difficult to be reconciled with the olivine phasetransition alone. First, just below the 660 seismic discontinuities, traveltime and triplication data typically define a large velocity gradient down toabout 800 km depth. Second, observations of high frequency seismic scatteringoriginating from 700 to 1000 km depths remain puzzling. Third, in some latestglobal tomographic models, positive radial anisotropy appears prominent near orbelow the slab in the upper lower mantle. Fourth, downgoing slabs andupwellings interpreted in recent tomographic models are not always linked tothe olivine phase boundaries and they frequently experience strong distortionnear the bottom of the layer C. If the internal structure of the Earth and its layering are evolved from longterm mantle convection and mechanical mixing due to plate construction ordestruction over billions of years, one may attempt to understand the nature ofseismic complexities in the layer C as a whole. One may ask how the layer Ccontrols modern mass and heat advection in the mantle. If the layer C iscompositionally inhomogeneous with depth, one may wish to refine its densityprofile and discuss plausible dynamic consequences. This session solicits all efforts characterizing seismic properties in allwavelengths in the layer C, and we also encourage integrated andmultidisciplinary efforts to help untangle the nature and the dynamic impact ofthe layer C.

Open acess现在成为了期刊的新时尚，AGU也不甘落后，7月11日宣布，它将和Wiley合办一个开源期刊—Earth's Future，并从7月17日开始接受投稿。AGU负责审稿，Wiley负责出版。 ------ 这个期刊的办刊宗旨： Earth’s Future will emphasize the Earth as an interactive, evolving system under the influence of the human enterprise and will reflect the risks and opportunities associated with environmental changes and challenges. It will feature primary research across disciplines and connect it to policy through the inclusion of editorials, essays, reviews, and other commentary pieces. Contributors will tackle solutions to such grand challenges as population increase, industrial and agricultural development, urbanization, climate change, energy, food and water resource sustainability and security. Dr. Guy Brasseur has been appointed to lead the launch of Earth’s Future as its inaugural Editor-in-Chief. Brasseur is the director of Germany’s Climate Service Center. Previously, Dr. Brasseur was associate director of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado, and head of NCAR’s Earth and Sun Systems Laboratory. “ Earth’s Future represents an important and innovative contribution not only to transdiciplinary research, but also to the ability of the public and policy makers to navigate and connect with our science, and to successfully incorporate it into their decision making processes,” said AGU President Carol Finn. “AGU is pleased to be able to partner with a global leader like Wiley to provide this new platform for the exploration of global change and sustainability. Launching Earth’s Future represents a key achievement in our mission to promote discovery in the Earth and space sciences for the benefit of humanity.” “We are extremely excited to launch Earth's Future , an open access journal, with our partner AGU that spans the scope of their disciplines," said Colette Bean, Vice President and Associate Publishing Director in Wiley's Global Research business. "This is truly a unique publishing opportunity for emerging research within and beyond the geophysical research community. Earth's Future will play an important role in disseminating this critical research on a global scale." ------- 期刊主页： http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/%28ISSN%292328-4277 ----- 费用：如所有开源期刊一样，作者负担全部费用。
simply missed some "big talks" due to various reasons, here is the link for taped lectures: http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2012/calendar/lectures/ I recommend three of them, at least . DEEPSEA CHALLENGE: New Science and Technology at Extreme Depths (The best talk in my view) AGU Presidential Forum - Ira Flatow, NPR Science (not great talk but he is a great NPR host o f Science Friday) Union Frontiers of Geophysics Lecture - Professor Sir Bob Watson, CMG, FRS, Chief Scientific Adviser to Defra (on page 2 ; a boring talk but it tells you how bad the CO2 emission is--due to "business as usual" since the 2007 IPCC report)
Well, you may disagree with me. For one thing, AMS has copy editors, at least it used to (since I haven't published anything with AMS lately), but AGU does not (and still does not). Both AMS and AGU started to post links to editing companies. If you exam the two sites, you will likely agree with me that AMS's links are better than AGU's. http://www.ametsoc.org/pubs/preeditservices.html http://www.agu.org/pubs/authors/ You may wonder why I should care? Well, I was contacted by the CEO of AGU, regarding how to help researchers to improve their skills of writing and speaking (because my name and email were sent to her by someone on an AGU committee). Here is what I wrote to her: "I think the AGU can call for volunteers, especially those who have recently retired and want to stay in touch. Another way is to use freelancers like me. I checked the AGU site for authors, and it has three links to editing companies. I think more, and better, links should be added. (I made an attempt to be listed, but failed--the staff I contacted at the AGU didn't know how to find the person who is responsible for the web site.) For example, the AGU can list Nature Publishing Group Language Editing: http://languageediting.nature.com/editing-services Elsevier English language editing: http://webshop.elsevier.com/languageservices/ http://www.liwenbianji.cn/ is the biggest editing company in China. The AGU could also set up its own editing company..."
亚洲海洋地球科学学会（ AOGS ）与美国地球物理联合会（ AGU ）联合（ AOGS-AGU Joint Assembly ）在西太平洋国家每两年举行一次西太平洋地球物理会议（ WPGM ）, 今年确定在新加坡举行（ http://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2012 ），时间为 2012 年 8 月 13 - 17 日 。 AOGS-AGU Joint Assembly 来函邀请我们召集一个分会，该分会有关信息如下 题目： Development of Marginal Basins of the NW Pacific and its Correlation to Tectonic Evolution of Other Circum-Pacific Regions 召集人： 主要召集人： Prof. Junyuan Xu (China University of Geosciences, China). 共同召集人： Prof. Zvi Ben-Avraham (Tel Aviv University, Israel) Prof. Tom Kelty (California State University, Long Beach, USA) Prof. Ho-Shing Yu (National Taiwan University, Taiwan) 内容： A great deal of research has been devoted to studying development of marginal basins in the NW Pacific since Wegener (1929) speculated that the basins had formed by extensional process. Under the classical plate tectonics, there are numerous hypotheses proposed to explain origin of these basins. But none of them is widely accepted. On the other hand, tectonics of other Circum-Pacific regions including Tibetan Plateau, Arctic, Western North America, Antarctic and Australia has been found to be related to tectonics of the NW Pacific in various ways. Purpose of this session is to exchange recent scientific knowledge on origin and evolution of the individual marginal basin and the marginal basin system in the NW Pacific, on tectonics of the other Circum-Pacific regions and on possible historical correlations between marginal basins of the NW Pacific and the other Circum-Pacific regions. 详细请连接 ： http://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2012/mars/confSessionView.asp? sID=165 作为召集人，欢迎您参加此分会，该分会将讨论与西太平洋边缘盆地起源和演化各种有关构造物理问题，例如：西太平洋各边缘盆地自身构造、环太平洋其他地区构造（包括青藏高原构造以及北冰洋、北美、南极洲、澳大利亚等地区构造、西太平洋各边缘盆地构造与环太平洋其他地区构造两者联系（全球构造背景）。至现在，该分会还没有专门邀请有关知名专家作口头报告，以免“老生常谈”。如果您有新研究成果需要作口头报告，可来信提出要求，我们酌情满足（ 请注意：现在已经开始提交论文摘要 ）。 西太平洋地球物理在全球地球物理中占有独特地位，这是美国地球物理联合会（ AGU ）除一年一度举办涉全球范围地球物理的 Fall Meeting 外，还两年一度地专门与西太平洋国家（或地区）联合举办西太平洋地球物理会议的原因。西太平洋地区构造物理（ Tectonophysics ）问题又是全球固体地球科学（ Solid Earth Sciences ）领域最复杂、最令人困惑、最令人感兴趣的重大问题之一， 其中西北太平洋边缘盆地起源、青藏高原隆升 及其两者关系更是备受地球科学家乃至科学爱好者的关注。欢迎地球科学家，特别是年轻的地球科学家，投身到该问题研究、交流中去。 杨振宁 博士说： 20 世纪初物理学“遍地是黄金”。这里也要说： 21 世纪初从全球最深的马里亚纳海沟到最高的喜马拉雅山脉广大区域的构造物理学“到处是黄金”。 请去 Singapore ，说出您的想法，听取同行的意见，定有意想不到的收获。 AOGS – AGU (WPGM) Joint Assembly 13 to 17 August, 2012 Resorts World Sentosa, Singapore ========================================================================================== 后补 会场之一（摄于2012-08-13） 会场之二（摄于2012-08-14） ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2010-08-29并 2012-08-13所发博文: Singapore绿化环境好 --西太平洋地球物理会议（WPGM）期间初见 西太平洋地球物理会议 于今天正式开始（ 参见： 请去Singapore参加2012西太平洋地球物理会议（WPGM） ）。初来新加坡,感觉绿化环境真很好，所住的旅馆被绿树花丛环抱，人们以及小鸟享受其中。会议中心（the Sentosa Resorts World Convention Center）环境也同样优美（最后两张）。
agu会议已经结束了，由于时间安排或未参加会议的同志也不要悲伤，一些重要的session和union 都有录像，因为我只关心活动构造的相关的东西，以下是我收集的一些session的录像。 日本大地震section： A small comfort for all those who have missed the AGU2011 fall meeting (and so did I) might be that some sessions are now available on video for free. The AGU session on demand page has lots of videos, among them four sessions on the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. So if you’re ready for ~8 hrs of earthquake talks, you should definitely have a look. AGU2011 Tohoku earthquake session The April 2010 M7.2 Baja, Calif. Quake: On April 4, 2010, a long-locked segment of the boundary between the massive Pacific and North American tectonic plates ruptured violently just south of California's border with Mexico. While not "The Big One" that Southern Californians have long feared, the resulting magnitude 7.2 earthquake--the region's largest in nearly 120 years--was nonetheless an important earthquake. Felt throughout northern Baja California and a broad region of the American Southwest, the quake killed two, injured hundreds and caused substantial damage. But beyond its obvious physical effects, the quake has proven to be one of the most complex ever documented along the Pacific/North American tectonic plate margin, providing scientists a unique opportunity to better understand earthquake processes along this volatile plate boundary. New techniques of remote sensing and image analysis developed by NASA and other agencies have revealed numerous surprises about the quake and have greatly aided field geologists in mapping and understanding the rupture. In this briefing, observations of the quake and its aftermath by scientists at NASA, the U.S. Geological Survey, California Geological Survey and the Center for Scientific Research and Higher Education at Ensenada, Baja, Calif., will be detailed, along with results of new data analyses that show how this quake has increased the potential for additional large earthquakes throughout Southern California. 2010 M7.2 Baja, Calif. Quake
As a meteorologist (BS and MS) and an oceanographer (Ph.D), I have known the AGU and the AMS for a long time. As a contributing author on ocean modeling, I know where I would go to submit my manuscripts before I ever heard of the IF (impact factor). A recent conversation with a friend prompted me to take another look at these two societies again, which made me realize what superpowers they are! (Just check out EGU and AOGS yourself. There is no comparison.) AGU vs. AMS (where "A" stands for American) AMS: The AMS, founded in 1919 , is the nation's leading professional society for those involved in the atmospheric and related sciences. With more than 11,000 (13,000?) members , the Society promotes the development and dissemination of information on atmospheric, oceanic, and hydrologic sciences through scientific journals, conferences, and public education programs across the country. AGU: The American Geophysical Union (AGU) is an international non-profit scientific association with over 60,000 members . Established in 1919 as a committee within the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences, AGU was independently incorporated in 1972. Since its founding, AGU is dedicated to furthering the sciences of geophysics through the individual efforts of our members and in cooperation with other national and international scientific organizations. These goals are met through publishing scientific journals and other technical publications, sponsoring scientific meetings of various sizes throughout the year and a variety of other educational and scientific activities. My impression was that the AMS was more serious about publication quality than the AGU. This is probably due to my personal experiences with JPO (by AMS) and GRL/JGR (by AGU). You can also tell by the listing at the AMS below. Editorial Staff: technical editors and copy editors http://www.ametsoc.org/pubs/index.html Lately, the AMS has added a new link, as many journals do nowadays. Pre-Submission Editing Services: http://www.ametsoc.org/PUBS/preeditservices.html Personally, I think the AMS can do better than listing these editing companies, but that's another Blog. The AGU has been making lots of progress. One thing I really like is their "Editors’ Highlight." http://www.agu.org/pubs/journals/highlights.shtml Clearly, the AGU care a lot about publications. For example, it shows the IF at its web site. http://www.agu.org/pubs/journals/statistics.shtml It also lists some editing companies at its web site, which really needs a "make over." Language-Editing Services http://www.agu.org/pubs/authors/ I saw some pie charts at the AGU site, which show the publication brings in a net 2% (so does the membership). I don't know how to run a big non-profit organization like the AGU or the AMS, but I suppose 2% is a lot of money (and a lot of work) ...
Ok, AGU wants your manuscript, or your page charge Here, AGU stands for American Geophysical Union. It recently came up with instructions for authors in five languages: http://www.agu.org/pubs/authors/instructions/ I highlight some common mistakes I see as an English editor. 以下检查列表列出了AGU 文稿最常见的更改。对照该检查列表进行检查，将帮您加快文稿的处理速度。 在扉页列出所有撰稿者的姓名，并提供所有撰稿者的完整地址 使用美国英语， 不要使用英国英语 将脚注信息放入正文中（脚注仅作附属和辅助材料之用） 缩写/简称在第一次出现时进行定义 将日期更改为国际日期格式 ：25 January 2008（在表格中可简写月份） 将项目符号列表更改为数字编号列表 在数字和计量单位之间添加空格；不要使用圆点 按顺序对正文中的公式依次编号；不要按节编号，附录中的公式除外，附录中的公式必须与正文主体中的公式分开编号 提供可编辑的公式，不要采用图片格式 按照AGU 文风确定参考资料引用格式 ：使用姓名-日期格式，参考资料不用编号，在方括号中附上引用内容： 或Smith et al. show 以上述形式提供每项参考资料的完整信息 在正文中引用所有参考资料，并为每个独有的正文引用提供参考 提供可编辑的表格，不能采用图片格式 （请注意表格可以Excel 格式提交） 包含地图的图形中应至少包含两个注明纬度和经度的点 LaTeX：请勿使用\newcommands，特别是其中带有#的命令（对于参考资料引用，可使用\ref、\label 和\cite 命令) You can learn more by going to: http://www.agu.org/pubs/authors/manuscript_tools/journals/pdf/AGU_Author_Guide_CHN.pdf For those of you who are more comfortable with instructions in English. Most Frequently Made Changes The following checklist covers the changes made most frequently to AGU manuscripts. Following this checklist will help speed the processing of your manuscript. List all authors on title page and provide complete addresses for all authors Use American spellings rather than British spellings Incorporate footnoted information into text (footnotes are used only for affiliations and auxiliary material) Define abbreviations/acronyms at first use Change dates to international date format: 25 January 2003 (in tables, months may be abbreviated) Change bulleted lists to numbered lists Add space between numeral and unit of measure; do not use a dot Number text equations consecutively throughout; do not number by section, except appendix equations, which must be numbered separately from main text equations Provide equations that are editable, not formatted as pictures Format reference citations to AGU style : use name-date format, not numbered references, and enclose citations in brackets: or Smith et al. show Provide complete information for each reference, as outlined above Cite all references in the text and provide a reference for each unique text citation Provide tables that are editable, not formatted as pictures (note that tables may be submitted in Excel) Include at least two points of latitude and longitude on figures containing maps LaTeX: Do not use \newcommands, particularly ones with # (using \ref and \label and \cite commands for reference citations is acceptable)
