Exhibition Note: Lines in the Ice at the British Library
During the winter of 2014 15 the British Library ran a medium sized exhibition in its Entrance Hall Gallery, Lines in the Ice: Seeking the Northwest Passage. Fortuitously benefiting from news in the summer of 2014 about the location of HMS Erebus, one of the ships from the fateful expedition of Sir John Franklin, the exhibition sought to take a long view of the history of polar exploration, particularly in the Canadian Arctic. In so doing, the aim of the exhibition was to explore the circumstances which have maintained European and North American interest in the Arctic, from trade to resources and geopolitics. The exhibition sought to ask how this has developed and what effect it has had on the societies of the explorers and the indigenous peoples of the Arctic. Within this historical narrative, science, innovation and technology played an important role. This note considers how the exhibition developed our understanding of the historic and contemporary significance of science and its practice in the Arctic.

The Great American Hall of Wonders, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C. 15 July 2011 8 January 2012
The Great American Hall of Wonders was a bold and imaginative effort to illuminate nineteenth century American society, culture, and values. It attempted to make some original connections among art, science, and technology as well as to revive some ideas about these that are familiar to American historians of technology but not to the general public. Presented by the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the exhibition did not travel to any other museum. The exhibition featured 161 objects arranged within six sections: the buffalo, California's giant sequoia trees, Niagara Falls, clocks, guns, and railroads. It explored the period from 1826, when former presidents Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died, until 1876, when Philadelphia's Centennial Exposition the nation's first official world's fair drew huge crowds. Exhibition organizer Claire Perry's excellent accompanying catalog goes well beyond the exhibition itself.

Web 2.0 based virtual exhibition system design
This paper proposes a novel virtual exhibition design concept the idea of the user generated 3D exhibition contents. There are two major advantages of the system: 1) No 3D engine plug in is needed for the exhibition visitors to surfer the virtual exhibition hall They can use the normal Internet browsers. 2) No advanced professional training is needed on 3D modeling process. Non IT professional exhibitors can build 3D models for their exhibition products through the platform provided by the system. The system structure and the functions of the major modules are presented in the paper. The detailed 3D modeling process is demonstrated in the experiment. The results are effective and promising.

Seasonal to decadal climate variability and predictability
Seasonal to decadal climate variability and predictability convener:Takashi Mochizuki(Japan Agency for Marine Earth Science and Technology) V Ramaswamy(NOAA GFDL) Yushi Morioka(Hai Yang Yan Jiu Kai Fa Ji Gou Sun. May 20, 2018 5:15 PM 6:30 PM Poster Hall (International Exhibition Hall7, Makuhari Messe) Climate variability on seasonal to decadal timescale (e.g. ENSO, IOD, PDO, AMO) involves processes and multiple physical interactions among atmosphere, land, ocean and sea ice. Many efforts have been made for understanding the underlying physical processes and its predictability, but there remain large uncertainties in model simulation and prediction results of the seasonal to decadal climate variability. This indicates that some important gaps still exist in our current knowledge which are not fully resolved in current climate models, for example, atmosphere ocean ice interaction, troposphere stratosphere coupling, initialization, and role of anthropogenic forcings. This session aims to narrow the gaps in our knowledge and identify the unresolved issues for better understanding and prediction of seasonal to decadal climate variability. All the observations, theoretical, process level and modelling research on seasonal to decadal climate variability and its predictability are greatly welcome.

Analysis of the Visitor Viewing Time of Common Types of Exhibits and Exhibition Planning Method Based on Efficiency and Comfort
Under the conditions of various exhibition layout and exhibit forms, the "attracting power" and "holding power" proposed on some exhibits lack comparability and portability. It is hard to give quantitative discrimination method on exhibit display strategy and presentation programmers during the exhibition planning and design process. The paper takes a popular science exhibition, science and technology culture exhibition, and commercial exhibition as examples and defines the visitor behavior from the view of traffic. It uses the data of "the visitors' viewing time at the first exhibit" to analyze the attraction of different types of exhibits to visitors. The three most common kinds of exhibit forms linear, radial, and hall, and the three common types of exhibits "model video (M S)" "model (M)" and "video (S)" are screened. Based on unobtrusive observation, the data of visitors' viewing time at the exhibit were collected. The method of nonparametric test from mathematical statistics was used to analyze the diversity and change law of visitors' viewing time on different exhibit forms and different types of exhibits, then to carry out the discrete degree of visitors' viewing time. At last, the paper gives exhibition hall arrangement and choice of exhibit forms planning method based on efficiency and comfort.

The Inside Story of Science City An Outdoor Public Science Exhibition
Science City is an outdoor exhibition, supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and created by the New York Hall of Science (NYHS) It was designed to increase public awareness of, and interest in, the science and technology of daily life by creating a series of exhibits that people would "find" in public places in New York City. Using the streets and structures of the city to present the science and technology of everyday life in order to reach the non museum going public, eye catching exhibits and signs were placed along fences, on streets and buildings and in subway stations and parks. The development and installation of museum exhibits for public urban spaces requires skills and experience that stretch beyond the expertise of a science technology museum exhibition staff. This article discusses and compares on and off site exhibition development.

Interrelation between Life, Water, Mineral, and Atmosphere convener:Ken Takai(Extremobiosphere Research Center, Japan Agency for Marine Earth Science &Technology) Kentaro Nakamura(Department of Systems Innovation, School of Engineering, University of Tokyo) Yuichiro Ueno(Dong Jing Gong Ye Da Xue Da Xue Yuan Di Qiu Huo Xing Ke Xue Zhuan Gong Gong Tong Yohey Suzuki(Graduate School of Science, The University of Tokyo) Mon. May 21, 2018 5:15 PM 6:30 PM Poster Hall (International Exhibition Hall7, Makuhari Messe) Life on Earth is based on a diversity of physical and chemical dynamics and processes throughout the history. Interaction between life, water, mineral (rock) and atmosphere is a key to understand co evolution of Life and Earth. It is a brief since the pioneers proposed this session almost 20 years ago. Current JpGU meeting is filled with internationaland interdisciplinary joint sessions with similar aims to this session in responding to surrounding situations of JpGU and earth science field in Japan. Conveners believe that this session has provided an excellent opportunity to discuss such interdisciplinary research results and directions for about 20 years but are also afraid if this session may complete the initial goal. It is a matter for JpGU members to decide. This is a final call whether this session will continue in future. If you need this session, you will submit abstract of your research to this session for oral presentation with your intension. If we have less than 12 abstracts for oral presentation, we will cease this session in 2018. Join to this session!
