Organizer: National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan)

Place: Miraikan (Tokyo, Japan)

From Press Release: This is the special exhibition featuring “underground”, a doomsday frontier and uncharted territory which cutting-edge science challenges. We will present a world-view of what is under the ground as it has been explored in art, philosophy, social science, and other disciplines; and the underground world which is revealed by scientific exploration, interwoven with different perspectives from natural science, human science, and social science. Visitors are able to see the latest research results on the underground, such as the Earth’s origin and environment, underground life forms, and earthquakes, and to feel how they directly relate to our existence.

Logo of Planet Earth

About this logo: In 2002 the German Ministry of Education and Research in 2002 instigated the very successful Jahr der Geowissenschaften. The logo used in the national event forms the basis of the International Year logo, by kind permission of the German Ministry. This consists of an inner circle (red) representing the solid Earth, then the biosphere in green and the hydrosphere in dark blue, above which is the pale blue atmosphere, all constituents of the Earth System.

National Committee and IYPE Japan

Japanese National Committee for IYPE is a subsidiary of the IUGS Division for the Committee of Earth Planetary Science, Science Council of Japan. The implementation of the IYPE activities is being carried out by the IYPE Japan with close relationship to the National Committee.
