Post-meeting Field Trip (17–18 September 2022)
Median Tectonic Line and high-pressure metamorphic rocks in subduction zones: Matsusaka and Ise, Mie Prefecture
A two-day geological field trip will be conducted after the plenary session. In Matsusaka, we will observe outcrops of the Median Tectonic Line (MTL), which is thought to record a multi-stage faulting history of island-arc crust from deep plastic deformation to shallow brittle deformation. In Ise, we will examine outcrops of high-pressure metamorphic rocks of the Sanbagawa Belt and tectonic mélange of the Kurosegawa Belt that formed at the subduction plate boundary, as well as seamount rocks accreted at depth. The white paving stones of the Ise Jingu Shrine are gravels of chert or quartz veins and are derived from accretionary complexes. The Izanagi plate, which subducted beneath the eastern margin of the Asian continent during the Mesozoic, is named after Izanagi, the father deity of Amaterasu, who is worshipped at the Ise Jingu Shrine.

Overview
Meet: 17 September (Sat.) 8:00 in Nara City (near Kintetsu Nara Station)
Break-up: 18 September (Sun.) after 15:00 from Kintetsu Ujiyamada Station
Stay: Hotel in Matsusaka City (all arrangements will be made by the organizer)
Number of participants: Maximum of 30 people (selection will be made after the deadline)
Participation fee: 7,000 yen (includes one-night accommodation in Matsusaka city)
Guides: Asuka Yamaguchi (AORI, UTokyo), Norio Shigematsu (AIST), Takayuki Uchino (AIST)
Remarks
We will be traveling in rental cars. Rental cars and gas will be arranged and payed by the project.
Sampling is not permitted because the MTL outcrop is classified as a natural monument.
A walk of a few hundred meters along the rocky beach will be necessary on the second day.
It takes about 1.5 hours to travel from Ujiyamada Station to Nagoya Station and about 2 hours from Ujiyamada to Osaka Namba Station (using Kintetsu limited express).

奈良全体集会・巡検 (9/17-18)
三重県松阪・伊勢の中央構造線と沈み込み帯の高圧変成岩
全体集会後に1泊2日の地質巡検を行います。松阪では、島弧地殻深部の塑性変形から浅部の脆性変形まで複数ステージの断層運動履歴を記録していると考えられる中央構造線の露頭を観察します。伊勢では、沈み込みプレート境界で形成された三波川帯の高圧変成岩と黒瀬川帯のテクトニックメランジュ、および地下深部で付加した海山の岩石を観察します。伊勢神宮の白い敷石（お白石）は付加体に由来するチャートや石英脈の礫です。また、中生代にアジア大陸東縁に沈み込んでいたイザナギプレートは、内宮の祭神である天照大御神の父神であるイザナギに由来しています。
