Naohiro Yoshida attends AGU Honors Ceremony

Dr. Naohiro Yoshida, a professor at the Department of Chemical Science and Engineering and principal investigator at the Earth-Life Science Institute, attended the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Honors Ceremony to receive his Fellow Medal on December 12 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington D.C.

AGU, established in 1919, is an international non-profit scientific association for the promotion of Earth and space science with approximately 60,000 members in 137 countries. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., it is the largest international association in its field.

Established in 1962, the Fellows program recognizes less than 0.1 percent of AGU members who have made exceptional contributions to Earth and space science as valued by their peers and vetted by a committee of Fellows. The Honors Ceremony, which included a talk by Yoshida, was held in the midst of a weeklong Fall Meeting with over 28,500 attendees, the largest ever. The 2018 Fall Meeting marked AGU's centennial, a celebration of AGU members' accomplishments over the last 100 years and the vision for the next 100 years.
